I was just wondering; could anyone give me the specifications of a 307 Chevy?

Nitrowarrior,

I know full well that this thread became functionally useless by about the 2nd page (of the 14 or so). Burty is the one that started this 302 thread in the first place. It went from a few good answers about the actual topic and rather quickly sunk into a why build a small smallblock as opposed to a big smallblock (or a big block) type of argument. Though that is a perfectly good argument in itself (I'm a stroker small block fan myself) the thread went in a direction that quickly had nothing to do with the original subject.
So "Burty" simply resorted to his natural instinct of not letting a "jump the shark" moment go without calling the person out. I see the gassersrule kid is a "regular" around here and he clearly has a passion for his small cube chevys. I appreciate that, not enough of the new generation out there are interested in cars unless they have plastic bumpers. I also remember when I was his age and I thought I knew everything too, it was only last year that I finally reached that point
Were simply enjoying the fact that your young friend got caught ...well lets say ...stretching the facts and refusing to admit to it! We've all been caught spreading some bull$h!t here and there, simply his turn to squirm till he admits it. Or he could simply prove his statement that he so vehimently defends (which he HAS previously agreed to do) and I for one would be happy to concede. Plus, I really want to see the specs on a home built sbc that still makes useable power at 12,000 rpm at the strip and survives. Who wouldn't.

So where are those specs again?

George

I thought it was appropriate to just let the thread slip off into the archivers.

Do I have to read all 14 pages to see the 12K rpm sbc??

It's Alive, It's Alive !!!:lol:

The only engines I remember living at those RPMs were destroked 265s and 283s running 4-speeds in the lower gas classes.

Not to mention Comp Eliminator 292 cid's that wound 11,000 plus. Different ball game today.

small, underpowered, usually painted orange. Heads are good boat anchors for anything in the 20-28 foot range, blocks are adequate as anchors for 24-32 foot houseboats....

Now that's funny! I think those are the ONLY useful purposes for that motor.

youd be surprised on that one to!
