estimate horsepower, improvement advice
I am wondering if you guys can help me determine an estimate of how much horsepower an engine I am putting together might make. Also any suggestions of how to improve would be greatly appreciated.
The block is a 4 bolt main, cylinders are bored +060, sorry I don't have the casting number can get it tonight. Crank is a forged (wide seem) with 454 stock stroke. Pistons are Arias, only numbers on these are 4224, they have a large dome shaped for closed chamber heads. rods have a dimple near the top, I think that is pretty good?
Heads are casting number 3873858 and appear to polished and maybe slightly ported (don't know by who so this could be good or bad). Isky z-90 cam, unknown valve train components so likely will replace springs and pushrods etc. Has roller rockers with no ID marks on them. They are silver, aluminums.
Intake is GM- 6269318.
Still need oil pump and carb (have a large stock depth oil but wider oil pan).
Motor will be used in a lake racer class jet boat
Thanks for any assistance
