How about a contest? Win valuable prizes.. sorta..
I thought it would be fun to have a contest of sorts. Recently I built a 408 stroker small block Ford engine for my Fairlane. It wasn’t a low buck affair, more middle of the road and what I was thinking was a little guessing game.
Guess the corrected HP and TQ and win a prize. The closest person that guesses will get a few cool prizes from my private stash of schwag. In the unlikely event of a tie I will send stuff to both winners. If there are a bunch of ties then the earliest ones win. The amount your off from either number will be added together. This isn’t ‘The Price Is Right’, so you can go over. Here’s the basic mix: 1975 351W block Stroked to 408 Eagle cast crank Forged Rods Dished SRP forged pistons 10.9 compression - run on 91 octane gas Comp Magnum roller rockers (alum) Comp 7.7 inch Magnum push rods Comp vertical bar roller lifters (recommended by Stangnet) Edelbrock Victor Jr single-plane intake Holley 950 cfm carb (73/73 jets) Comp double roller timing chain 1 ¾ long tube headers Mallory Unilite distributor 7 quarts of 30w oil in Milodon pan with windage tray 236/240 .555/.576 110LSA Comp hyd roller cam AFR 205 heads with ti retainers and their “nitrous port” Lets see.. helpful info: The AFR heads flowed 308 intake and 243 exhaust at .600 310 intake and 249 exhaust at .700 154 intake and 122 exhaust at .200 Correction factor was 1.098 (was HOT today) Anyway, just something fun and winners name and website gets in the story. Oh, “blown up” is a valid guess ;) Oh, the engine was also tested with a RPM Performer and 750 carb, but the guess is for the vic/950 combo. The contest will run until next Wednesday morning California time, lets say 10am PST. Most of all, have fun… http://www.lifeinwidescreen.com/siihp/408.jpg |

490HP/512FtLbs. Don't forget, boys. Cam lift does not allow for 300cfm intake flow and he's runing a dual plane on symetrical port heads. He does have beter than 75% flow on the exhaust side (relative to the intake side) He's got a good amount of static compression, but he is also running dished pistons. Oh, and the distributor is on the wrong end of the engine. :lol:
My guesses are always on the conservative side. |

Its a SINGLE PLANE Victor Jr.. we did run the dual plane in the pic but this contest is for the single plane and the Holley 950 as stated. However.. you are right, we put the disty in the wrong place! :willy: |
