Mark do you find that a stout SB like this performs better all-around than an equiv. BBC? In terms of driveability, performance at the track, mpg - these kind of things. Thank you.
 
Reelysalty I believe has forgot his meds as he doesnt make sense (which is most of the time). Cant set up a Holley but is an expert on SBC/BBC performance.
 
This is indeed a killer motor - BBC power for sure in a lightweight compact package. Would love to see how this runs installed.

This thing could still probably make over 500/500 with 16* of cam duration taken out of it. If you were so inclined (like I am LOL!!!)

That's where I'm at - duplicate the build with something more like a 224 @ .050 cam as Mark suggested when answering my previous question. I might even pop for a new Dart block to start out with!


Of course the wife just texted me there's a good possibility she's going to get furloughed from her job due to the damn Chinese virus, so all this is just wishful thinking at this point...
My 502 has a 224* cam and its still a little rowdy for me. If I was so inclined I'd like to try 216* but getting lazy with this sort of stuff.
 
Y Bring a camera to the MCC show, Cecil county raceway, and see how my "common 1.5 HP/" does against a blown LS. Or most 496's/502 I'd run across. In total street trim ex slicks.

Whadda think Gene - I can be that 502 you come across - at Cecil no less. Come on man, mano e mano. Let's see what that thing can do!! ;)

j/k :grin2:
