Any guesses on flywheel power?

How about a mid/low 13 second time slip, very close to my sons 355 only he has vortec heads, he's run a best of 13.40 with 1.9 60ft times. No idea how good Trickflow heads are :confused:

Trick Flows are pretty nice. They helped my buddy make 380 hp & 460 ft/lbs to the rear wheels with a 406 smallblock, all cast internals. Through a TH350.

My 406 has almost the same cam profile,(.480lift/284 deg) and I also have 195 cc heads with 2.02/1.60 valves(afr 195's) and an rpm airgap/750 holley. Full bodied 68 chevelle but has a fiberglass hood, with 3.36 gears, It went 12.8's @ 108mph last year with no slicks or drag radials just the bfg t/a radials, it should run 12.5's with some traction. I think you will have a nice combo with plenty of low/midrange torque
should make around 400 hp or so.

Thanks. I was just wondering because I'm debating on pulling the sbc/trans out of the S-10 and swapping it with the sbc/trans in the Chevelle if the S-10 doesn't sell for what I'm asking. That way I can lower the price on the S-10 and not feel so bad about doing it.

The other reason is Trick Flow says this combo made 420 hp/395 tq when used with a 750 Holley double pumper and a Victor Jr intake....but we all know how bogus magazine articles tend to be. I figured since my car is already a sbc car and I was wanting to install a hopped up 402 that maybe I could get the same goals from a hopped up 355.

402 and 355 are just too close, sure you can.

was that a bit of a joke? I mean, yeah, the sky is the limit especially when you have the case, but for the average budget it would be hard to stretch a 350 as far as, and as easily as a big block. As far as your intended combo goes, its not bad at all. The only thing I dont know about is the camshaft. Not that it isnt a good sounding grind for that motor, its just that I know nothing of trick flow camshafts. I say leave the cam grinding to people who actually make money on camshafts, not cylinder heads. More than likely trick flow buys their cams from somebody else like crane or something, but check into it. It might be a little dated and a very similar specd "modernized" grind just might do the same job better.

Back to the big block issue, if you were to build the exact same motor on top of a 402, but with mildly ported, closed chamber, oval port STOCK casting big block heads, youd be miles ahead of the 350. Youve got the advantage of better flowing heads to start with rather than having to go straight to the aftermarket like with a small block. And oh yeah, 50+ cubes more to work with. If those cubes didnt matter, we wouldnt all go with 383 stroker motors when starting with a 350. Either way, that small block you want to build will move around your vehicle nicely, but if you had the option available to you, the big block would get my vote.

Yeah I agree....it just seems as if I'm not having much luck selling the S-10. I've had some offers well below what my bottom dollar is. I figure if I'm gonna sell it that cheap I'm at least keeping the engine thats in it and instead dropping some pos engine in it. Pos as in no power, old as hell. It will run at least and drive.
