This car is on ebay, and I just might get it! But, I want to know if he is WAY over estimating the hp or not. I think he is, but I don't know all that much about the internals of engines.

He estimates 600-750hp.

Also, I know a T5 can't take a 350! Even the World Class is under rated for the torque a 350 puts out, nevermind a built one!



What do u guys (or gals!) think?

 

Those heads will flow somewhat over 400 HP, maybe 425. He's giving up some amount of HP in that stupid gear drive. He's got enough cam to make 425 HP. He doesn't really have enough chrome parts on it to make up for the gear drive; he'd need a chrome oil pan and timing cover, maybe a chrome alternator, possibly even an Edelbrock "Pro Flow" triangular air cleaner and chrome extra-long valve cover hold-downs with the handles on them, to pick up that much. So he's probably just a bit over 400.

Typical used car salesman it sounds like.... stretch the truth as far as he can get away with.

 

If that a factory forged crank (not aftermarket) I seriously doubt it could handle 700hp. It would be fine with 400-450 though, like RB estimates it would be making.

170cc's doesn't seem like enough to feed 700hp either. I'd imagine you'd have to be quite a bit over 200cc to feed 700hp.

The gear drive... uhhgg.... why? Its going to be more drag on the engine, and it will also be really loud. I think a good double-roller chain with steel gears would be a much much better choice.

What kind of pistons are they? Cast, forged, hyper? What brand?

What kind of clutch is it?

 

The guy who "all so dragged raced funny cars" must get a good chuckle with his friends every time that guy leaves the shop.

It's at least worth the current bid.

 

HAHA! Thanks for a good laugh.

Coming from someone who has world s/r heads they will not support in stock form much of anything over 400hp, let alone 700hp! They flow about as good as old smogger heads. The smallest chamber they have are 67cc, and when I cc'd mine I got closer to 70cc(and others I have seen have had similiar results) so with flat tops he prolly has 9.5-9.7 CR Tops...that cam is entirely too big for such low compression..it will be a dog at anything under 4k, and after it reaches its breathing room at the higher rpm ranges the world s/r heads will be done breathing and no power would be made up top either. I would be suprised if that engine puts out 375HP, and would be even more surprised if it could even squeeze into the 13s at the 1/4 mile with such a mismatched combo. Hes obviously trying to entagle someone who doesn't know anything about cars with that bogus estimate, what else do you think he is hiding?

 

The tach is definately big enough to support 700 hp.

 

6 -700 horse riiiiiiiiight.

i'd say 400
