Nice comparison data Rod :thumbsup:
Peak piston speeds at redlines were interesting.

I see some smart people have been voting. :lol:

Hey that Cup motor is kinda weak. Late Model versions of the 358 makes 100 more hp. :unibrow:

If you got big numbers.... all I need to do is put on some bigger ratio shaft rockers. Like 2.0. That'll get it done. :D

Yea but the other 9 voted for your SB2:rofl:

Let's see some hp/tq goals from both?

The goal is 700ftlbs of torque, a big flat torque shelf. Peak hp is targeted at 6k rpm or just a little over and we think 700 will be seen for sure.

I have the advantage (or disadvantage possibly) of seeing a dyno sheet on my motor with wet sump and east coast 92 octane (which I have heard is a TON better than our Calif 91 octane crap). Supposedly they did 8 pulls and peaked at 730-something hp and 609 ft lbs.

I have the dyno for a full day so we will tinker with as much as we can.

That said, with the addition of the dry sump, I am targeting 750 hp @ 7k rpm or less and 625 ft lbs.

I think with Mr FE's cubes he should take the avg torque win but I hope to get him on the top end. :D

EDIT: And yes I know dynos are tuning devices and not to see who can win the horsepower contest. We plan to fully utilize the dyno day to sort out his motor and dial it in. Will be a first for me.

Thinking back it seems we answered this question twice.:D


:cheers:

Sounds like a bunch of terminator owners up in here!

whine whine whine...


:lol:

I wanna play!

437sbc, Dart aluminum block , est. 11.5/1, for pump 93
400+ cfm RFD 15* heads
Ported Mopar 5007420 single plane
Holley 950 ultra, may upgrade to a Braswell or Prosystems with road race floats
Solid roller custom spec'd by my builder
Callies lightweight rotating ass, Diamond pistons, Morel lifters, Jesel pro Series, Blah, blah blah

Should be on the dyno in Dec. Hoping for close to 800hp, 650tq

When you run over 25 events and 3500 street miles with not one single mechanical failure, let's talk. :D

That engine was one of the most powerful and reliable engines this circle has ever seen. If we would have been able to pick the cylinder head, use a single plane, and a bigger carb, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. :unibrow: I decided to recycle a few things from my first mistake, I mean engine. :lol: It was the perfect combination for pro touring.
