ESTIMATED HORSEPOWER
I was curious if someone could help me in estimating how much horsepower I'm gonna be putting out? I have tried the different computer programs without much success, and this being my first engine to build. I started out buying a 454 that had been bored .30 over. The engine was running but the guy was going alot bigger so I got a great deal on it... I think. I got the complete engine plus a set of brand new in the box alum Edelbrock performer heads. Oval port 100cc chambers with 2.19/1.88 valves (part number 60499 in Jegs). I do understand that they prolly are not the best choice but I paid $2000 bucks for all this stuff. Also included in this is a set of hyper .40 over pistons, so the block is at the machine shop gettin a trim to .40 over. It also came with a pretty new 750 holly carb sitting on Edelbrock performer RPM intake (part# edl7161) that I'm gonna use. A Stock crank turned 10/10 with I beam rods is reuseable too. Now I'm looking at buying a Comp cam 227int/241exh with .479int/.465 lift hydraulic flat tappet. I'm installing all this in my '85 Z28 behind the engine is a race built 700r with a Saturday night special stall with a stock rearend that will prolly get blown apart and replaced with a 9inch.....thats all I can think of if you have any assistance i appriciate it .......Thanks
