The only parasitic drag on the engine is an underdriven power steering pump and alternator. Another question for all. Is 2" or 2 1/8" primary Hooker SuperComp headers preferrable? They make both to fit my 68 Camaro. They show a 3 1/2 collector that I will run to a dual 3" system with H pipe and QTP dumpouts. I like the Hooker Aerochamber sound so I'll probably go that way again. Looking at the engine in the previous posting I think I will need a 950cfm carb? I suppose if the car isn't quick enough there is always the juice again huh?
Thanks

is the car above the car you will put the motor in ?
i have a 67 camaro 3,000 lbs and it has a 511ci. set of worked Big Broadie heads ( never been flow bench tested so i do not have a clue what they flow). 4.375 bore 4.25 stroke callies stealth crank..
anyhow on foot brake on a set of worn out 14x32's and off the trailer so to speak, 1st time ever in the car i went a 6.07et at 115mph with a 1.39 60ft..( on pass #4). i went a 6.50et at 110mph on a 1st time ever blind pass (shakedown),,not having a clue what it would do 1st time down..
the motor (511) pulled great..after i got it dialed in i feel it will run some mid low 5.90's possibly some mid to high 80's...i have no clue what this is in the 1/4 mile...i am turning it 6800/6900 thru the traps and it still pulling hard..so i feel to squeeze everything out of it i need to be turning it 7200/7300 rpm.....i long shifted the car one pass and got into the 7400 range and i could really feel the difference in the power... i am running a 500 gear right now...so i figure a 514 to a 529 and i would be in the ball park..
i also run a glide with a 1.80 low gear
i hope this helps you decide what to run in your car with your 511
