What kind of power expectations?
Well im pretty much in the home stretch, pulled the rods that were hitting the cam, in cylinders 1,3,5, and 6 . Got late today, grinding them down tomorrow. Also got a new timign chain and gears, went with an extreme duty "truck" chain and gears, fits better and scrubs the block much less, now I only got a littl ebit of grinding. Now that im in the home stretch, anybody have any kind of engine expectations for this motor? Ill list a lot of it here, maybee you guys can help. I based it off a 355 build that made like 467ft/lbs and 445hp or something, but I went with a 383 and a few different parts.
9.8 Comp.
383
5.7 rods, 3.75 stroke
kb hypeuratic pistons
scoggin dickey modified vortec heads, (perf. valve springs, retainers, studs, ect.)
XE274 cam
GM 1.6 Aluminum Roller rockers
Performer RPM intake manifold
Performer 800cfm carb
Any other info u might need, just ask. Im just looking for a ballpark estimate of peak power, average power, and where that power is in the band. Thanks guys.My cars, projects, and builds.
