could someone tell me how much horsepower and torque this combo would have, approximately?
400 bored 30 over with ohio flat tops, comp 268H-10 cam, Edelbrock Performer 400 manifold and Edelbrock 600 CFM carb and .0025 shved off the stock 78 CC heads also has a 3 angle valve job and mild port work.
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-Mar-02 AT 06:54 PM (EST)]Hi,
Could someone tell me approx. how much horsepower and torque this combo will have. And estimated compression ratio. 400 with Ohio piston flattops comp 268h-10 cam, Edelbrock performer manifold and Edelbrock 600cfm carb and .0025 shaved off the stock 78cc heads. Also has a 3 angle valve job and mild port work.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mark
PS
I fixed your post so maybe Dennis will have intelligent info to relay to you.
Well i ran what i could into the desktop dyno 2000. im guessing the milling and those pistons will put you right at 9.5:1 (someone correct me if im wrong), so i put that in along with small tube headers. it showed peak hp to be 377@5000 and torque was 440@3500. that should give you an idea at least.
I believe the max you can mill the heads would be .040 to .060, but you will need to consider two things: First, you may need to mill the intake manifold to keep port alignment correct. Milling the heads, in effect, causes the manifold to sit "higher". As for pushrods, no, you won't need new pushrods unless you get crazy with the milling. However, you will need the appropriate rocker stand shims to compensate for head milling. If you mill .030, then you will need .030 shims to keep rocker at the correct height. hope this helps.- Don
