engines ranging from 350
to 368 to 415 cubes. You can tell a Jeal engine by the lettering on top and
the teal-colored valve covers. Kirchhofer explained, "That was an inside
joke between Jeff and myself. He wanted to paint them bubble gum pink. I thought
a teal Jeal sounded better."
The
car here is Bill’s personal ZR1, a ‘90 model, set up for road racing.
The Jeal LT5 is bored (from 3.90-inch to 4.0) and stroked (5.74-inch to 5.85)
to 368 cubic inches. The compression is raised to 11.4:1, and the cylinders
fitted with high nickel cast-iron liners. Bill cammed most of the horsepower
and torque into the mid to upper range, as needed for high speed on the track.
The monster cam features intakes with .513-inch lift and 304º duration,
and exhausts
