Too Many New SB Chevy Engines!

[Matthew777]

I am in the process of a ground up rebuild on a 1965 Chevy 1/2 ton truck. I race at the same track as DV and often help out with whatever he may be testing and often see him because I live not to far from his place.. I asked him about a spec for a low buck build for a 375-400 hp high torque motor for my truck which he gave me. I built this engine with the recommend EQ heads suggested and a short cam. For firs the first time ever, I dyno tested it. The result was 434 lbs-ft and just a tad under 400 hp. Great, but it did produce a problem, I got the bug for building another as per DV 's guidlines. I now have two engines for this truck and a third is on the way. The second engine looks like a show piece. It's still a 350 but with some Edelbrock aluminum heads ported as per DV's instructions. (never ported any heads before) This build made 442 lbs-ft and 421 hp with a cam only about 168 degrees long. The chassis work has barely moved an inch so all this engine building must stop at this next one which will almost surely be a 383.. So here is the situation. I need to get rid of two engines and I can let them go at what's in them for parts. If anyone wants to replicate the builds I an quite happy to go through all the moves made on these two easy to build engines if the interest is here.

Just give me the word and I will go for it.
If you want a complete engine PM me

168 degrees? I assume you meant 268?

[boogie]

On your third engine and chassis work has barely moved an inch?

Sounds like serious engine building disease! Glad you're having fun.

168°@.050?.. I thought april fools was all done with. That's even shorter than a stock cam and you surely must have used the 128# to build em'.

And just imagine if you'd have used a longer cam like the rest of us have to run based on the laws of physics. A typical street cam of 220°@.050 would have surely been over 600 horsepower. Might be a good time to start filling out the application for the engine masters competitions.

A little late for a April 1 joke, but I like the part about the laws of physics

If you are after BIG power, then I would look no farther than one of Mr. V's 460/468 or 496/505 BBC's and get on with it.

My about 9.5 to 1 CR'd "tow-truck" 496 per D2k should make 550hp at 5500 rpm and 580t at 4500 rpm so it really is a mild engine imho.

Sorry meant Comp Cam 252 @ 108 lobe center line
