Introducing the 750 H.P. SB4 7.0 (small block – four valve) automotive aftermarket crate engine.
Design
Custom Four Valve Heads
Mercury Racing designed, Edelbrock® cast DOHC , four-valve cylinder heads.
Intake and exhaust port flow is significantly improved over conventional 2-valve heads for improved drivability, idle quality, and torque compared to a high lift 2-valve design
Efficient, high tumble four valve combustion
Low mass, high stiffness design reduces stresses and enables smooth high RPM operation and long life
Intake valve heads are 43.25 mm (1.703 in) diameter
Exhaust valve heads are 36 mm (1.417 in) diameter
Design
Induction System
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and GT-PowerTM engine performance simulations were used to develop an optimized intake manifold featuring dual throttle bodies for maximum power and efficiency.
Design
Robust DOHC Valve Train
Anti-backlash ground, high spec camshaft timing gears for enhanced engine durability and minimized engine Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Camshaft lobe sprayers with diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated cam followers for low friction and high durability
Design
Custom Components
LS cylinder block fitted with Mercury Racing designed and specified crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons for improved performance and enhanced durability.
Design
Double Row Timing Chain
Double row, roller chain primary drive, with Mercury Racing designed hydraulic tensioner for enhanced durability
Design
Twin Timing Belt System
Twin timing belt system with a hydraulically damped tensioner for reduced maintenance requirements.
Design
Custom Camshaft Pulleys
Pendulum absorber camshaft pulleys for enhanced belt life.
