Default Drive train lugging and it hurts the motor

Blykins Brent You can lead a horse to water but will not drink. Let it go. This guys needs to run either a 6 speed trans, change the rearend ratio, build a bigger motor or go fishing. 10 pages of info from guys that have tried the same thing. If he want to have the motor not lug at 1,500 rpms he will need a heavier flywheel and dampener to absorb the firing of the motor under this kind of load. This will damage the motor over time, something will break. He want to turn 7,000 rpms with a stock block, without it being filled in the coolant passages for strength, no main cap support or 4 bolt main. Cast crank pistons and off the self rods. Good luck, it will be a short fairy tale. I REALLY hope that Glen or his friend in the pass seat don't get hurt from flying debrie when this thing breaks. Bell housing only partial protect from flywheel, they do nothing for engine parts. My thinking is a mazda rotary motor with 3 rotors and a turbo. 600 hp and will lug along too. I'm done Rick L.
