Nice power out of that combo. Is that corrected?

Not to hijack but... my iron headed 416 is very similar but you made almost 45 more hp than me! Huh.

My heads flow almost exactly the same as yours, my cam is a solid FT, 251/259 @ .050" with a 1.6 rocker, around 10.3:1 CR with a zero deck Diamond dish piston. I used Total Seal rings. I ran a 2.02 valve though, an 850 carb and a gasket matched Strip Dominator intake. Same exact rods.

I used a HV oil pump, my understanding is that those oil pumps can rob a little hp but it's a street engine, I guess I was just stuck on the idea I needed an HV.

Hard to believe I left 45 hp on the table with those parts. I know a Victor could be 10-15 but the rest does not add up. Oh well, nice job should be fun. Would like to hear results when you get it down the track.
