You seem to assume a lot when your not sure of all the details as what you have stated on my truck is way off the mark. HP and grunt are two diffent things HP is a figure on a piece of paper, torque is what gets the job done. Been there done that and moved on. :!:

Ok a few specs.
350 2 bolt SBC re drilled and tapped for 4 bolt steel splayed main caps,
Vanolia custom crank and H beam rods of custom leingh.
Custom Ross pistons bringing it up to 403 cubes.
Alot of trick machine work and internals, roller cam to custom specs ect ect. Alloy heads with tripple roller springs, larger under cut stainless valves, slight port to keep the speed up. Off the dyno last time 498 hp and 786 NM of torque, now with the high stall and auto it should launch pretty hard.
If you want a drag let me know so I have time to put the 250hp blue bottle back on. Just give me the address and a few days to get it all back together. :shock: he he.
Also I have done more work to the SBC since the last dyno run, and now it can breath. :roll:
I do agree with the cubic inch thing. But if you can stroke it to close to a big block and have heaps less weight the power to weight factor is in my favour. Question can you carry both your complete heads under one arm Arnarld ( Im not even going to try spelling his sir name cos If I get it wrong Besty will kill me).

At the moment she's stock on the dyno it had 195KW and 980 NM at the wheels! That was running sweet to get it registered, sitting on the shelf is the bowtie's that you can hold under one arm and all the rest of the crane tripples and roller gear that will make it go. If i wanted to line up on the black top i wouldn't be in a cruiser! 8)

Go the Rat motors to many SBC around be different.

The day you kids decide to go out and find whose is bigger. I wanna be there to see the broken bits. Theres nothing like seeing that much grunt destroying a toy front end.

Turps
then I will drive it slowly with all my 60kw at the wheels.
