Any favourite piston manufacturers I should consider?
I really like Ross pistons. The Keith Black Icon pistons are also nice. Weisco, Aries, Diamond are also good choices.

What kind of numbers is it making?!?! Or, is it not the sharing kind of info…The W8 pro charger engine is still on the dyno….so everyone’s favourite free cam build likely won’t be tested until January….
It is making close to 1600 hp… not sure if they are looking for more peak as much as they are fine tuning it….it came off the dyno last night and will likely get put back on in a few weeks once the owner checks out the bearings/springs ect….My guess is it should make 2000hp if you pushed it a bit but you could be entering part’s breaking territory at that level….What kind of numbers is it making?!?!

It is sweet… I’m hoping they do some pulls with a regular distributor and a carb in the new year…. I bet it would make 800hp on pump gas N/AFriggin sweet!!!

Sorry I missed your post…it is in fact the free cam bottom end with the shocker top end… I just picked up a new msd distributor for it this week so it will be on the dyno the next time there is an opening….Inquiring minds want to know…….. was the engine assembled with the free Crane cam?
Are the heads the reworked Shockers from the other thread?
Free is not always a good thingyou going to need more that 3500 converter...and more gearing...that is a big cam....
but it was free...lol
I have a question about this cam, it's just a question so please don't blow a headgasket. Here we go, mopars have coil bind at .520 lift correct? Wouldn't a cam with this much lift require both longer valves and springs, pushrods too? Unless someone has cylinder heads set up for this there goes the term budget build right out the window.Free cam= budget build!
The LA heads get coil bind at .520 tooI think you might be thinking about stock small block magnum heads having coil bind at .520 lift….hopefully it doesn’t blow a head gasket…

My friend ran the specs on his David Vizard software program and it spit out 585hp…. If it doesn’t make that I can always sell the cam and recoup my money….I had forgotten about this build. Glad you’re finishing it up and posting. What are you hoping for hp wise? I guess a better question is what will you be disappointed with?
