Isn't this LS we are referring to a big stroked one? How many cubes again? I thought it was like 440+ or something?

I was never a math or science person, so I prefer to round up or down to nice even numbers. In this case I just call it seven. :)

It is actually 454. I still have some experimenting left to do with it at some point though. I have the individual runner manifold I have slowly been buying little pieces for and when I eventually put that on I might switch to a bigger cam. In theory the two should offset each other and provide the same driveability but with more power throughout the entire range. Right now I don't want to mess with what is working though.

And how much power should a 302 street engine make :action-smiley-027:

You're right. I couldn't ask anything more, from a Ford. :rolleyes:

We just have to accept the fact that the mod motor probably wasn't originally designed with displacement or the need for obscene amounts of power in mind. They're making twice what they made 20 years ago.

I've been reading a little about the Cobra Jet engines, and those are damn impressive for such small displacement. Apparently a bigger bore and larger valves will do wonders for power. I keep having to remind myself that I bought a crate engine for oem reliability/driveability, because it is tempting to see what one of these could be built up to.

Amazing huh. Those redneck Nascar boys figured that one out I guess. :D

Been following along silently.... and I'm still drooling over this motor. Super cool application going in a 69 Camaro :headscratch:

Dang, Matt. This just keeps on getting better and better. Keep it coming!

Congrats on your invite to OUSCI.
