EngineMasters Episode 21 408/410 stroker w/ported heads

I would have loved to have seen a couple of things.
Before/After flow rates would have been nice.
A decent look at the port job.
A look at the rockers and maybe a mention of longer pushrods that were probably needed.

I was so curious I messaged Steve and was told the rockers are just a Crane W2 1.6 and flowrates were in the low 300's. I'm also a little surprised the torque does not crack the 500 ft/lb barrier but then again --"that cam". They should take that engine and shim the lifters to short-travel and I bet the ugly shape of it would improve greatly while still using the same camshaft. Then again a nice solid flat tappet would probably unleash an eyebrow raising amount of power. J.Rob


I agree.
