Re: 406 Build Up - How much HP Will it make?

I would guess in the neighborhood of 600. Should be a fun motor. You've got strong internals, you should thow a 200 shot on it!

Re: 406 Build Up - How much HP Will it make?

if you are putting it in front of that 700, dont bother unless the trans has all the hi po parts in it, even then wont take much more than what you want to make. if you want to drive it on the street deal with it, track only a solid roller cam with the proper intake carb and exhaust including say 2 inch headers might get you there, but i am not that optimistic. the way you listed it it will make gobs of torque, that is what you feel when driving, with the 3.0 gear in the trans it will probably just spin the tires for days, and if you change tires and it hooks, probably will hurt something lol

It will be a great torque monster, I'm willing to bet tq curve will come in strong and have a perfectly flat curve right upto peak hp. hp wise, i'm thinking it'll be down.....big flowing heads, low compression, middle of the road cam that'll take away what little compression is there, and a small runnered intake.

I dont think hp will be anywhere near 600hp, but driving it will sure feel like it is since tq should be stout.

Re: 406 Build Up - How much HP Will it make?

better grout the cylinder walls if its a stock block or you'll eventually crack the walls after a while making over 500hp. I should have done it when I built mine but didnt and now have #4, and #6 sleeved.

Re: 406 Build Up - How much HP Will it make?

Lose the vic jr, get a Super Victor, 950HP Holley, and kick the compression up to 11.6-11.8:1. And you would definitely be better off with a Dart or Motown block....Here's some food for thought, Buy an Ohio Crankshaft 434ci shortblock and use your heads, cam, and the Super Victor and 950 HP.
434ci shortblock assembled= $3900!

Oh, and probably about 620hp or so with the Super Victor and 950HP and closer to 12:1.
