Combination:
Up to this point, all the engines I had built were for racing only. This was my first street/strip motor and my main concerns were drivability and cost .... 030 over 2 bolt block, KB 9.5 Pistons, Cast Crank, Solid Cam 230/240 @ 0.50, .498/.503 Lift @ 107D Lobe Center, Cam installed 3 Deg. Advanced, 1.5 Rollers, Out of the box world S/R Tourquer heads (2.02/1.60), Perf. RPM Intake w/Barry Grant Sports Claw 750 (now known as "Demon") Carb, HEI ign w/30 deg. all in by 2500 RPM.
Total cost including block ...... $2700.
Dyno'd @ 452 HP @ 6100 RPM. In 69 Camaro w/3.73, at 1000 Ft. altitude, 11.80's @ 117. All day long! Driven 55 miles round trip to work 5 days a week for 8 months. Driven to and from track ... "You don't need cubic money." I've been doing this a long time and it bugs me that alot of young guys are talked into spending more than they have, to go fast. Bitchen rods don't make H.P. Steel cranks are made to survive at high RPM. Make torque! The horsepower will follow, AND the engine will survive .... Great Combo - Try It!

Nice specs, I have plenty of spare parts, I'm gonna build me one based on these specs. Only difference is that I have a brand new victor junior manifold gathering dust.

Oh and what type of torquers are they open or closed chamber ? And also have you got the name part number of the cam and when the intake closes ? thanks
