Tim Meyers 434 stroker kit.

Could someone gine me a link to this site or give me some info I am planning a rebuild on my 78 400M and I am amazed at the potential of these old smog motors. A buddy of mine has a dyno software and I put in the data for the planned builb using 185cc 3V CHI heads, dual plane intake, stock cam @ 10.5 to 1 compression and beleive it or not 550lbs. of torque @ 2000 rpms holding to 600lbs @ 5000 rpms. and 475 hp at 4800 rpms. At least this is what the software projects. I 'd sure like to break 500 Hp and that stroker kit may be just the thing to get me there without having to go over 5000 rpms.

Thanks

I couldn't tell you the first thing about them or what mods are necessary to make it work but here's a couple links for parts:

You might also ask in the 335 forum here that deals specifically with those engines as there's some experts in there that will have good info for you:

If you keep watch, we will have a 434 (400 stroker, also nic named "Super Cleveland" by the owner) on the dyno in just a few weeks.

Tim,
Thanks for the respone. What is your opinion of the chi 3V 185cc heads. I really want to build my torque an Hp at low rpms. I am setting a plan to build my engine and right now the CHI 3v's seem to be the way to go. Any advise?
