Lateral-g Forums - 1968 Camaro "Badmotorfinger" v2.2

Wow that is dang near the same huh. Those are great numbers for a 23* motor. What heads do you use?
:bigun2:

But with my head work and mods I should be upper 700's I am guessing? If I hit the magic 800 I will be stoked.

My cubes are 437. 4.17 x 4.00

They are Dart CNC ported heads with 227cc runners. This engine is very "developed."

The original incarnation made 673hp & 572#. 9 days on the dyno, 5 camshafts, 6 rocker arm combinations, 5 intake manifolds, 3 sets of headers, 3 carburetors, 2 days tweaking the fuel curve later ... whew ... and it now makes 731hp & 599#.

:trophy-1302:

Looks like it along with, airbrushed wheel covers, roof channels, and aero hood. Be interested in knowing the front and rear spring rates compared to their Silver State setup.

Whats it going over to S&S for ? i thought you were assembled and ready to go, no?

They are a top notch machine shop for as far back as i can remember, my family lived in that hood for 40+ years. I dont know them personally, but they did the machine work on my engine for my boat through a machine shop.....

Do they dyno and tune?

Sure!

I need a few more details ...
Carb or EFI size in CFM
Compression ratio
Rod length 6.0" or ?
Are the heads SB2 or SB2.2
Are the cylinder head intake runners 286cc or different ?
Header primary diameter & length
Collector diameter & length
Cam degreed at ???
Is cam a roller or big lifter flat tappet?
Also: Is this a 4.4" or 4.5" bore center block & head combo?

If you don't have it all, just get me what you can.
