Got new bullet finished... with pic
Looks nice. Any more detailed specs on engine,hp torque output.What do you plan on putting it in, I'm running an 8.75 and looking what might be considered the limit on foot brake.
340, 40 over, no fill, billet 2 bolt caps, plate honed, zero deck flattops, 58cc eddies.
the heads go low 270’s at 550 lift. Cam is 565 lift. I forget the lower numbers, but they are very solid. I ran this same cam in the 360 that was in it.( 260/264... 565/565)Cam is on 106, was installed at 102 per Howards’s. In this motor, put it in at 104, hoping to take a little bottom out of it and add some top... we will see.
The excellerator is port matched, this will be the first time i have tried an 850 on a smallblock. Almost always 950’s or dominators on stouter stuff
Headers are just 1 5/8 Dougs, i have 3 inch Cook’s bullet shootout mufflers i run behind them. Know they arent optimal, but i had them.
Car is 69 dart. All steel, flat hood, weighs 3310 with my 330 behind the wheel, maybe a tiny bit more, unless i lose some weight before season starts.....275 drag radial, 4.30 gear.
I will have the 8 inch convertor set to about 4800 flash, as i suspect the torque peak will likely come in a bit before that.
Guessing peak horsepower should be around 6200-6300.
Probably shift it at 6500 ish.
I am thinking it will run fine with the gear and the small head in the 1/8, but be nosing over in the 1/4 and want a 4.10 gear better.
Hoping it will run 1.43 or so 60 foot, and 10.70’s at 124/125 once sorted out, which shouldn't take long.
Figure it will make +/- 530 ish if it was on a dyno, just a guess......
Should be a tractor. Probably best served pulling a farm implement around, but we will race it and see.
