Jblack Apr 19th, 05, 9:59 AM Okay I'm curious what sort of power is available on the following combination 325 cubic inch 4" bore 10:1 compression 94 octane fuel biggest valves you can fit within bore fully ported high end valve train- full roller set-up 9,000 rpm limit dry sump with communication Bomber '67 Apr 20th, 05, 12:45 AM http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87895 onovakind67 Apr 20th, 05, 2:51 AM Could you explain 'dry sump with communication'? Jblack Apr 20th, 05, 7:20 AM Bomber I read through the post and it doesn't really get into guts of the engine What i mean by dry sump with communication is all the crankcase banks "talk" to each other. In other words they are not a sealed off seperate chambers. Where the oil pump has a stage for scavaging each pair of cylinders. This design will have a common sump area. onovakind67 Apr 20th, 05, 8:41 AM You're saying this engine has more than one cylinder? Your initial description wasn't very concise. Jblack Apr 20th, 05, 9:11 AM sorry......yes this is a small block V8 joespanova Apr 20th, 05, 5:51 PM 525 hp greg_moreira Apr 20th, 05, 7:04 PM Fully ported what? Fully ported garbage smogger heads from the 80's, or fully ported new, trick aluminum heads or something. Thats gonna make a big difference in the potential there. Plus, what do the cam specs look like? Anything thats gonna rev close to 9 grand is gonna take a lot of cam, and that cam is gonna require a lot more compression than 10:1. What kind of budget do you have for this thing? Just like what was said in that other thread about high revving engines, your looking at no less than 4 grand in a cylinder head/valvetrain setup thats capable of those kind of terminal rpm's. And then theres the rest of the engine to still worry about. Anyways, it all depends on how its built. It could make anywhere from 400-1400 horsepower(rough estimate) but that estimate aint far from the truth, cause it all depends on what kind of money you throw at it and how well you engineer the buildup. | ||
