Maybe after the 351M pistons rattle around for a while....

 

just an update. i have decided to go with the 445 prison break kit.

 

That is what I did. I hope to start mine for the first time this weekend.

You have a lot of headroom with that bottom end. Over time you can get crazy with cam, heads, and carb.

 

CONGRATS ON THE 445 !
I am very jealous .

 

have you picked out
CAM
Intake
Exhaust
Carb
Dizzy
Heads

 

Sorry didnt realize I had new posts two months ago. I'm going with stock ported heads with 62004 voodoo cam. Freshman headers, off dual port intake street demon 750 carb, and a unique dizzy.

 

445 WITH 62004 CAM is going to be one hell of a motor .
you know heads need machining to use with the 62004 springs
what Compression ratio did you decide on ?
I did a Desktop dyno sim with the 62004 and 445 with 10.5:1 Numbers were crazy!
let me see if I can find it

 

found it , thank god for Photobucket

 

that was with Edelbrock Aluminum heads ,performer RPM intake 750 cfm carb and Headers

 

Yes the heads are at the machine shop now. Cr will be 10.7:1 after all machining. That is a pretty wicked dyno.i know I will have less without the heads but should be good enough.

 

I love 471 Tq at 1000 rpm !! even if DD5 is 10% on the high side still over 400Tq just off idle .
