:hail: :hail:

Dave

 

really nice!!!! what are some specs on it ??? heads,cam,intake etc ......

 

specs?

 

Looks great! What kind of HP are you expecting out of that beast? looks awesome!

 

That is going to be on bad ****! Let us know how it runs. It should really

 

Now you have to change your Sig.

 

Bada$$

 

awesome!!

 

ok, I'm jealous!! :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

uhhh ... ya remember, we bet on that one thing and i won your car... so ill be expecting the car in my driveway within the week

 

oh yeah nice paint scheme on the motor - kinda reminds me of mine....

 

Are you actually going to keep that carb? I would definitely get a holley 750 or something..... And the EGR...that definitely has to go...

 

heavy_chevy29, i've got a question for you 1... are you going to use the carb that's on there now or are you upgrading., #2 if you are going to use that cc-qjet on there, what are you plans for the computer and sensors?


just curious seeing that computer-controlled carb on there, nice motor, the big cubes, brad

 

thanks for all the complaments.
here are some specs:

1971 400 sb bored .040 over= 408
heads are the stock 441 castings (for right now because i need to keep some of my money)
Edelbrock performer intake w/ Q-jet carb(for right now)
hooker #2055 headers w/ Jet Hot coating
the cam is:
int lif@valve= .442 in
exh lift@valve= 465 in

the guy who helped me build the motor ran this setup on desktop Dyno2000. the hp was 308. the torque is 442 lb ft.

i plan on using the stock carb for the break in. once i get the money, i plan on getting a 750, maybe.

as for that bet that was mentioned, i don't recall making a bet with you.

 

That's a hefty amount of torque you got there.:hail:

 

once i get it started and broken in, then i have to bring to a shop and get my SFCs installed as well as a stainless steel flowmaster ehaust. this spring/summer i'm going to run it at E-town and i'll post the results.

 

have fun, hope you have posi to take full advantage of the fun factor

 

thats one badass engine setup, BUT if you ever have an oil leak your screwed, black oil, black engine, oh well i have that problem, sweet setup though and good luck.

 

hey Heavy when u go to e-town to run during the spring/summer time and i hope to have my car finished with what i have planned we should met down there.

 

very awesome! kinda reminds of the saying "there's no replacement for displacement!" heh heh, lets see some of thoes v-tech boys keep up with that beast!

doc

 

a 400 .040 over? I thought that it wasn't recommended to do more than a .030 overbore on a 400 block?

 

Nice work.. Let me know when you go to E-Town. I live like 10 min away. IM building a new 350 and can't wait to run it.

 

I think the siamesed bores keep it safe.....

 

yea maybe me, you,1982chevycamaroz28(tim),SSZ28, and whoever else can meet at e-town once my car is finished...it would be awesome to have a bunch of thirdgens down there all at once

 

I thought that's why you couldn't do it.

With most other small blocks, you can safely do a .060 overbore, but I was always under the impression that on 400s you couldn't do more than .030 due to a possible deformation of the siamesed bore from the heat.

 

Usually they'll go .040, but I'd have the block sonic checked first. Depending on core shift, sometimes they can go further, but its not recommended.

 

.040 is about a 50/50 chance of having a proble. .060 is when you are most likely going to have a problem.

as for etown. i have no idea when im going. i will let you guys know when i go.

 

count me in for when you guys go to e-town.

Heavy - once again nice work and good luck.
