Thread: I love it when people say how much hp they have

Tweet

I'd like to Dyno ours and find out just what it has, but I can't track down a dyno in town. we are going to have it out of the truck when we do the cleanup and paint on the frame and it would be a perfect time. I typed in the cam specs into a calculator and got just over 400 with about 325 at the rear wheels. but I don't know if any head work (looks like there is at least some on the exhaust side) or what else was done to it.

well you would be right on the 350 i did not use that engine only the one that is in the car running. would be more like 316. but i like the sound of 283 why hell yes work your way up on the pulling there is a guy that i like to pull is house off his foundation.i may have to wait for the 731 for that job

i feel your sarcasm, pat...........

i can,t like 283?

Pat whats wrong with the 283s in the 60s we got better performance with them than the 327s. I know i haven,t had a rod since the 70s but i still like the old stuff.

who is try to make something out of nothing ? like i said i can not like them ? i do . i do tell guys thats is what i have if they look at my engine if the hood is up thats what i tell them .i would try for a 4.3 v6 but that would be pushing it and no hate mail on the 4.3 i like them to

dont be hatin on a poor old 327




thats it, lets go im ready for anything but a foot race , im not exactly in shape
for it , screw pinks how bout tomato plants? HAHA!

Geez, you mouse motor guys sure do get defensive in a hurry!!!!

Heck, my Ranchero will probably end up with a little bitty 331 incher in it!!!


What the heck you doing with tomato plants this time of year anyhow???? Dang near winter up here already, a couple more days of rain and I think I'm gonna start building me an arc!!!!

that ain't now mouse motor! my 144ci is a mouse motor!!!

What kind of transmition are you guys using when you have 500 hp asking
because going to use my brothers engine out of his IMCA modified suppose to
be 500 hp says he has dyno card havn't seen it yet any way have a 350 turbo with shift kit what I have read it won't hold up thinking about having a 400 turbo built what do you guys think.

Better off with a TH400... what car is it going in? If the car is light a beefed up 350 might handle the job.
