Thread: What should I get??

Tweet

Hey Everyone!! I sold my engine a few weeks ago which was a 555ci (NA) and im confused!!. I dunno what to put in my car yet!! but all what I want is alot of HP and TQ, Im thinking of building a 632ci with 10:1 - 12:1 CR and a fair cam and i want it natural no NOS no Force inductions.

what u guys think? any ideas??

Guess it would depend a lot on what else the car has for equipment, and what it's intended use is.... 12:1 CR isn't a real good plan for a street engine.

why not?

street car with 95 octane!!

and i got a 9"ford and a coan th400 and im gonna get a converter later.

i have a 632 for the street it a 10to1 engine it works fine and had a 548 14to8 that was a blast but the 632 is a monster i used other to 573 12to1 and 548 10to1 cr+10 pounds of boost blown .and about 10 or so smaller big blocks all from 12to1 to 10to1

to what ? the 548 573 or632 they all made alot of power but i built the 632 donovan 10to1 so i could put pump fuel in it and the weight 450 pounds from pan to intake .i like all of them but i like the donovan for the weight

what kind of heads do u have on the 632?
if u got 10:1, whats your HP and TQ range?

hard to say the tq or hp never dyno it built it off the 573 that was over 780 hp and 700 qt at below 6500 that was re work 861 bow ties and the 632 is the same head but made by eldelbrocks super vics there are better like bmf or dart 355 cnc heads as for were it makes power for the 632 it comes on at 2500 and pulls pulls pulls

If you don't have a "back-halfed" car you are just spinning your tires.
In other words a 496 is plenty.

you can hook more then a 496 but with a smaller tire you will need much work to the rear end and front end car .i would not build a low cr 496 over a bigger 565to582 or tall deck 632 low cr engine and front end weight is a lot to do with how the car works my donovan 632 works better then most would think but that may not be his cup of tea then he should build a low cr 496 and tell ever one it bigger it will take more then just a big engine and a good stall there is lot of parts that have not one thing to do with hp or tq .i would he a hard time going back to a smaller engine but that could just be me

Pat,I think we maybe comparing "apples to oranges".
I was talking about using a stock GM block.
The 565/582 can only be built using an after-market block.

well ok he should build the best car for the money he wants over 570+ is what he want s? a 496 can and will work but i do not know how much work or money he willing to spend it is more then just a big engine was thinking he sold a 555 bbc and wanted bigger not smaller ?

I made the post about a "back-halfed" car because I was guesing he was going to put it in the Camaro he has pictured.
Maybe we should find out what car he is planning on putting the engine in first.

its an open budget

So, what all else is done to the car???? Takes a good chassis to get the big power hooked up...
