Looks as streetable as a Prius.

At this rate, you'll need to tear it back down and re-lube it. hahahaha

Dyno line graph...

I hope I have a torque curve like that with my stroker.

And replace those valve springs if the engine hasn't been turned over in a while. Ask me how I learned that lesson. :(

Funny that your dyno graph practically starts at 4k rpm. Because racecar...

It is a punching bag... and well deserved eh.

Starts at 3900 because dyno operator likes to go easy on his dyno, that's all.

I'd be willing to bet this thing makes very respectable torque well below that 3900 number.

437 inches and a cam that's really not that rowdy. I am leaving a ton of power on the table with the heads on this thing due to mild cam and low rocker ratio (1.7) vs your average SB2.2 headed engine.

:cheers:

Bad Ron, are you actually in support of me here? Kinda? On the down low? :lol:

Nothing like cubes to bring a power band down to the left.

My apologies that you bought a used motor to start with and never touched it before installing. :slingshot:

In all seriousness, I can't recall the specs of yours, but mine has pretty mild spring pressures considering the parts list. I hope this serves me well in the interim and in the longer term. :)

Hey Chad.... because racecar here as well? :rules:

Wait... don't you have a Mast LS too? :D

First, I will take Hobaugh's LS7 anytime over my motor. That said, here is my dyno graph...

Note that I do have more torque at 3,600 rpm...

Both of those Mast curves look sweet. I am gonna go out on a limb and say all 3 of these engines are/will be a hoot to drive. :D

In before Sieg asks me what my projected MPG will be.... :action-smiley-027:

David - Keyword: Projected

I hope I'm still alive to see the actual.

:Tomcat:

Actually it wasn't used, it had just been sitting for a while. I bought it from the original build shop. But I'd bet those springs had been in the same position for, oh, 5 years or so. And they were beehives, not exactly a high-pressure spring rate on those...

Go put a long wrench on that crank snout and turn it over once in a while.
