Sometimes "more" is not necessarily "better".

Case in question: The 500-cube Caddy engine vs. the 301-cube Chevy.

I think you might be comparing apples to oranges on this one.
Is the 301 Chevy kind of like a 301 Pontiac?
Or do you mean a 302 Chevy???

The 'rodders called it a 301 'cause thats what it was!

Chevrolet called it a 302 when they pushed it into production for Trans Am homologation.

this whole conversation staggers the possibilites of the human mind. some of us like 327 and under some like 454 nd up some like the middle range. why cant we all just settle it the right way on the track

If you are going to run your sbc against my bbc you had better pack a lunch.
Even my "junk" 496 run's 6.20's in the 1/8 mile.
Yes,I am messing with you.

Can we wait til spring??? I want to bring my 557 and not just my baby 408!!!

I put one of these on my Christmas list...... Let me know if you need my address for shipping purposes.....


John Kasse built 815 ci Ford Hemi......

Yup, talking LOUD Ford Noises!!!! Sure would work good in the Ranchero.... Now if I just had an extra 40K laying around..... Wanna buy a house????

ive alway had good luck with my 22r toyota motors, stomped on alot of big bad v8s... or you could build a nice 90s supra twin turbo 6.. you could get about 800 street driven horses out of em and still get 20 miles to the galon... so much for the ford noise, i want to see ya drive that hemi every day....

thanks

Well, if I was looking for fuel mileage, I sure as heck wouldn't look at an 815 ci hemi----As far as 800 horse out of a 6 with twin turbos----If I was in to turbo's and 6 cylinders it would interest me----and as far as daily drivers, got a really nice Bonneville, gets 25 mpg.... The shop is 10 yards behind the house, don't have to drive at all if I don't want to....

PS--The engine I pictured develops an easy 1000 horse, no bottles or windmills required. Now, can we go back to comparing apples to apples?

PSS--If you can make a carbed 22R develop 1000 horse, why are you working on a Dodge, a Ford, and a Chebbie???

all i can tell ya is stay away from the early 90s supras, cuz they are some bad SOBs... when i lived in NC a friend of had one that made about 750hp to the rear tires on the dyno (off the bottle) and drove the car to work everyday...

p.s. dont get me wrong i love the good ole US OF A, but some of those jap cars are crazy

UMMM,he is talking about a BBF with a hemi-style head.
About 800 hp out of them and still get 20 miles to the gallon???
These "tuner" stories keep getting better and better.
Yes,kids this is why we should never do drugs or inhale exhaust fumes.

ok boys simmer down.. ill go hide under my dodge now, you put me in my place... i wasnt tring to piss anyone off just trying to make a point... i got interested in this thread becuase there was a 283 going a little pu and that sounded pretty cool.. so i start reading and all i read tells him to build something else...

i like 283 myself and if thats what he want to build let him build it. the guy wasnt asking how to build a 377,383,350 or anything other than a 283.. so help him out please rather than telling him to build something else...

thanks
harmon
p.s. i just did the whole yota thing to get your attention.. so letss get back to the task at hand (283) ... i want to learn something from my elders....

i know a guy named larry taylor who has a 6-71 on top of a hot 392 hemi and he gets an honest 18 mpg. so he does drive it every chance he gets!
