My plan is to put the motor in the car and run it as is.
we're replacing the vavle springs and checked the bearing

It is a Bow-Tie Block build 640 hp on the dyno
Crower Crank
12 to 1
weisco piston
Oliver rods
all-Pro 23 degree raised runner heads 245 spreadport (ported)
It has a crane cam 118251
the specs said 256/256 Duration at 50 (the engine builder specs showed 262/ 262)
lift 625/625
Lobe separation 106
it is a dry sump motor, which i will use if it fits under the chassic
It has a Bowtie intake ported to match the heads
He ran an 850. I'm going to run an 830 HP Hollyon a 2" spacer

It is an older motor that was not used much
I looked up the engine builder Brian at Duratech in Coopersvill,MI he said I would want to go with a larger camshaft for drag racing. The Motor was set-up for a short track 1/4mile where they wanted a quick response out of the corners

Got to get a new set of headers too.

Got a 55 chevy 3500lbs with driver and cast iron heads (old motor) will need to add a 10 point cage so that adds some weight too

turbo 400 4000 stall

Looking to run 6.5 1/8 mile n/a

I was thinking a 1050 dom. and a bigger cam

Thanks in advance

Bore, stoke, rod length?

 

[69camaro434]

Yes a bigger cam & a 1000 HP from ProSystems.com

 

[Paul Red 55]

4.125 or 4.155 bore
3.875 stroke
6" rods

You check leak down on that engine?I would definately put some more cam in that thing.I would be pissed with those numbers on a 355.With those heads that thing is 100 hp short easily,on a 420 cu.inch.Put a moroso dominator adapter on that intake and match intake and spacer .And get a 1050 dom carb and wake that thing up.

I thought hp was low too,i bought a -10 Brodix Neibel Racing Engines,dirt track 421 a few years ago that my engine builder said should make 690-710 range but parted it out and kept the heads.

I see the ops engine has oliver rods which are probably 720 gram rods ,I did 5.850 carrillo rod 4.125 bore x 2.800 stroke engine with same head that did 706hp and its 120 inch smaller .It went 6.15 in a 3200lb car.Brodix restrictor heads like ascs casting do 290cfm and will make 700hp on a 358 cu in.
