4-bolt 10% nickel block.. .060 worked over oil passages.. drilled oil pump main bearing passage way. cemented as well with moroso block filler. ARP bolts on the mains.

scat 383 cast crank
scat 4340 i beams
speedpro hypereutectic 10.38:1 flat tops ( i think cr is higher though 190PSI )

Had a comp XE274H, put in a XE294H.
Edelbrock performer RPM heads ( plans to port, thats why i changed cams )
Edel victor JR intake
high output hei
holley carb
and 1 5/8 headers w/ 2.5" dual

what-dya think?

I think it should be moved to another section,

Why the block filler? What are you going to use it for?

Daniel

i didnt fill it all the way.. just to within 2 3/4" or so of the head surface.. jsut for a little extra strength.

oops sorry about the wrong section smile.gif

thanks for moving!

any predictions on power output?

any comments?!

Nit-picking here, but for what looks like a stout combo, why didnt you use a solid lifter cam and gain another 5-10%? Especially when you're getting into the 290+ duration stuff.

because it's a daily driver :/ I thought about it but i've heard so many different stories on solid cams.. you DO have to adjust them lots.. you DONT.. so ill just stick with hydraulic.. i figure im looking at 400-450 at crank so i mean.. that's gonna be plenty smile.gif

I don't think you'll have to change your motto soon... ;)

For the record, you don't need to adjust them often. If you do, something's wrong, But since you own your current cam, sure its going to be a real stout mill!

Wouldnt have thought a daily with a filled block.

That's a pretty stout daily driver...
How's it idle?

Ever thought of going to a dual plane manifold??

Advancing your cam would help with some low end torque...

Maybe some rhoads lifters?

i dont know how it idles yet havent fired it up smile.gif I had it running with the XE274 and it had a slight lump to it.. ran it with a stock converter and it was good for high 12's im pretty sure..

but then i had a timing nightmare and toasted a bearing.. so i decided to put a "little" more agressive cam in smile.gif

As for the block filler.. it doesnt run any hotter than my old 355 did with NO filler. stays at a constant 180-190 with a ****ty stock fan and no shroud.

oh yeah .. and as for the single plain.. no i thought about it at first.. but after trying the victor i didnt want to change it was KILLER down low torque.

I can post a movie of how the XE274 sounded if you want.

let's hear it. I wanna hear that movie.
