Predator 223cc how long with the 212 last

[jsf74]

You can just buy the crank and rod

Stronger block
Factory stroker crank
All new components
Its a no brainer to switch to this platform and leave the 212 behind

I know that

Oh man another thread about the Stock Predator Classes. WAAAAHHHHOOOOOOO

 

[Mark @ EC]

Wait for that block to start showing up in the 212 events disquised as a 212 lol

How about that it's a Ducar Block? It can be spotted in the Predator class but it can pass visually in the Ducar 212 classes.

 

[DynoDon]

I hear ya. However, just something else tech needs to stay on top of.

New ones have Ducar stamped all over them and use a clone cam and has clone crank journal size. I wouldn't be surprised if it uses a clone flywheel taper.

If you haven’t noticed, the new predator power washers are coming with 223cc’s on them. Store manager said he wasn’t sure how many 212’s they’d be getting in in the future as he expected they will start selling the 223 alone as the 6.5hp.

I know the “Wildcat” is already doing this at a budget price.

If harbor no longer sells the 212, will tracks have to allow the 223 in that class? Our current class is 196-212. I’d think of you can’t buy a new 212, these predator classes will have to allow them.

Just pondering as folks may be purchasing 212’s to build in the off-season.

Yeah we just made a stock predator 212cc and we haven't even raced it yet, I wonder if they will change the rules and require a 224cc, I mean at least it a bigger displacement

Yep, same flywheel as a clone. It still uses that odd ball rod with the slightly larger wrist pin but everything else is clone.

Odd ball rod? I was under the impression it used the clone rod. Is the length different? Edit: Oh I see, the wrist pin is larger… the more you know.

I saw a video comparing a Predator 212 vs 224.
The 212 had a steel cam gear - the 224 was plastic.
The 224 block had some bracing, kinda like a Tillotson, but it was not a Wildcat 223 block and side cover.
The video was showing inside the 224 block and it said DUCAR inside.
Same 70mm x 58 bore x stroke as a Wildcat 223.
Link to the video I watched.

Looks like the Burris Blue Grey Series is going to the Dyno cams Ducor 212 engine with the dynocam ruleset and no Claimer rule.

The Burris South East Tour is saying predator part numbers and 212 ONLY. (must be getting calls about the 224 block) posted on the Facebook page.

Predator's days are numbered for sure won't even be worth running in the stock appearing class

guess I now have three boat anchors
