BBC power estimate
Hello all: As you can see from my name I'm into European stuff: Alfa, Porsche, Ducati, etc. However I respect American Iron. Please Help: What kind of power could I expect from this combo: 4.5in bore/3.76in stroke with a low 9.0 comp. ratio? (aka 502bore/427crank. I chose the shorter stroke for higher RPM potential.) Assume all the good (race quality) stuff is in it... High flowing Aluminium heads... Forged aluminium pistons... Forged rods(or titanium) and crank... Roller cam... aftermarket programmable electronic fuel-injection, etc. I'm shooting for 6500-7000 RPMs. I'd like a life-span of 75-100K miles, not a dozen 1/4 mi. passes. Cost is no object 'cuz this is a strictly imaginary project. I know this is probably not the rat motor y'all would build, but humor me! Thanks in advance.Last edited by EuroCarGuy; 03-16-2006 at 09:16 PM.
Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
Time for brakes
