I beg the differ, i rekon it could be driven on the street no sweat
at all an on pump fuel.
Pump fuel? Sure. But that's not where the problem lies.
Like weve said before,what 1 person finds streetable
another might not.
Absolutely, everyone has there idea of streetable. I said it wouldn't live on the street. They had a hell of a time getting those rings to seal on the dyno, not good. He also shrouded the cam tunnel, good for the strip, bad for street longevity with no oil splash on the mechanical roller lifters. The valve margins would also have to be in the neighborhood of 1/32 to get those heads to flow they way are. That engine would not live long on the street. Add in a yearly break down to check the mechanical rollers and spring pressures and it's not what I would reccomend to the original poster as a daily driver.
If you consider a 5000 rpm torque convertor, 950 HolleyHP and 4.88 gear ratio streetable, more power to ya. :-D
15 grand? Dunno bout that, but yeh engine coatings an some
of the other stuff mentioned isnt cheap..
If it DID cost 15 grand,id go 426 hemi every time...
