Awesome!  Sounds like a torque monster. Can you share any details for the engine build? + or - 500ci? And did you stay with the 396/325hp appearing combo?

still the 396/325 appearing combo. 496 chevy, hydralic roller cam. havent got the card yet for specs but it isnt that big, 10.25 comp cast iron heads with 219/160 valves untouched stock intake, pretty well tuned qudrajet stock intake manifolds have the pypes exhaust to put on it still car only has a 355 gear as ill street drive it more than race it. looking to put a lighter stronger driveshaft in it this winter, can we run an aluminum one???? |

Wow!  Ported heads I assume? I am truly impressed that your intake and exhaust manifolds are untouched. Was it run on the dyno blowing through the factory manifolds? Roller rockers? If you, what did you find that fit under the stock valve covers?

we ran it on the dyno with headers on it because they already had the sensors in them. im sure im gonna lose alot when i put it in the car. i have stamped rockers on the motor. absolutely nothing done to the intake or exhaust manifolds. the heads have been worked. 219/ 160 valves, some porting. i have another intake manifold but didnt know if it was worth getting into it, gonna definately try to make the last lebannon race |

Still very impressive, has me wanting to start working on some of the spare parts I have laying around. (intake manifold & cylinder heads) I want to know more about the cam once you have your car together. Would love to hear an idle clip to go with the specs. (I don't need to know exact specs - if you're not keen on sharing them. Just "draw a box around them" so to speak.) Also curious to know what kind of vacuum it pulls. Sorry for so many questions and inquiries.

Oh wow, already have it in the car? That's awesome. Sounds like it was well worth the wait. I am anxious to hear the idle clip. I am going to get my car running, that way I will have something to base what sounds "stock" off of. |
