I’m doing two of these for a customer. This is the first of the two;

4.390 bore Racetec pistons
4.60 stroke Bryant billet crank
7.00” K1 rods
2x4 Sniper setup
Old Edelbrock low rise 2x4 intake
Ported Gen III Edelbrocks
9.8:1
238/246@.050 hyd roller

561hp/640tq

This intake isn’t the best, especially when it’s trying to feed 557ci. Good tq, not a lot of hp. Needs bigger headers too. BUT, the torque comes in early and strong. It’ll probably break a few driveline parts!!

 

At first I thought it was the first engine of two, for a boat. But I assume from the front drive that isn't the case? Can you share what the engine(s) are going into?

What do you think it would make with a more well suited intake and headers?

 

This one is going in an early 70’s A body.
A good victor with a 950 would make well over 600, it made 582 with an out of the box Victor and 750 during break in.
But this is a relatively mild build, good not great heads and not a lot of cam for 557ci build.

 

Why the small cam? Is this a street car and not a race car?

Also, nice build and nice looking engine.

 

Thanks for sharing, always interesting to see different builds.
