Thanks David,
That's what i thought also. This is a low budget motor, but with a good rotator,stock blk., the cam is 271/275 @ .050. The new 308's available come with new Jessels for $1600.00. I didn't talk to Dick Maskin, but one of his shop guys and he said it should make between 750 and 800 hp with this combo. It's 2 7/16" hilborn stacks on gas. The shop tech said don't necessarly look at the flow #'s of the heads but it's velocity that will really create the hp and torque.
I have to admit i really created a monster with the last b/blk i built, 468" with smaller cam and Brodix 2 plus heads on pump gas. I don't know why but it runs 10.50's @ 126mph on pump gas @ 3700lbs plus, on street slicks, with only a .149 60ft.
This motor would definately run 5.50's in the Datona and i put a .668 lift cam in it. The Brodix 2 plus heads only flow 389 ported VS 358 with the iron eagles out of the box.
Am i confused hell yes
ops: that's why i ask the question, i'm totally a sm/blk person, but i know there's no way in hell that a sm/blk will run 10.50's in a 3700lb car on pump gas with a $1000.00 short blk.
Sorry for rambling.
Zip.
PS i thought you were racing tonite, i would have been but it was 100 degrees here and more mosquitoes than you can spray away. I hate bugs :evil:
