M156 technical data (advanced)
I'd like to put a M156 in a '53 Ford F-100. I can't see any engine in the market as of today with a better potential to be a street driven beast to put in a hotrod if the requirements are V8, 4-valve technology and fuel economy. The tremendous torque curve also kills any BMW engine considerations totally.
So, I haven't sourced an engine yet but do anyone of you have some of the following data:
x Rod length and width
x Crankshaft journal diameters (rod and main)
x Piston compression height
x Deck height
x Bore spacing (is 109mm correct?)
x Combustion chamber CC
x Head gasket thickness
x Dimensions of the engine (length, width, height etc). How does it compare in size vs for example Chevy SB?
x Is it room for stroking the crank?
x Is the oil pan a complex design or is it farily easy to fabricate a new one if needed? I assume the M156 is a wet sump engine?
x List of all ancillaries on a complete M156 engine?
I see camshafts are extremely expensive on the aftermarket. Have anyone tried to regrind the OEM cams?
Is there any company offering a stroker crank for this engine? I'm thinking steel sleeves at 103-104mm bore and a 102mm crank putting out 6,9+ liters.

If you've missed it, here's some tech info on the engine's design:

Because I'd like a supercharged stroked engine pushing more than 800...
Well, piston and rods are an easy task to source, same goes for steel liners. Custom billet crank is possible at $3500-4000 from UK. I assume valve train are good enough as it is and a regrind of the OEM cams should run about $650 each cam here in Norway. Head gaskets are MLS from factory and 245,000psi head studs do I make my self. Then I'll hook up an aftermarket EMS on it and a supercharger. It's not rocket science even though it's an AMG engine.
Have read both articles, thanks.
