The build is a 496. Looks like I'm getting 1.1hp/ci. Was hoping for 1.2 to 1.3. But looks like its going to be a torque monster. The goal was to be streetable on pump gas. Pistons are flat top, stroke 4.25, mild cam (don't recall the lift specs) hydraulic and hyd. lifters, ported edlebrock performer rpm heads and rpm intake, demon 850.

I have a th400 and 4.11 rear. Thinking about a higher gear for the rear (3.55 maybe). Otherwise I'll be burning out like a P/U on wet pavement.

580 TQ at about 4500RPM. Not bad at all.

I'd like to know the cam duration and lift.

I should get my car back end of week. I'll get all the specs then.

could you post a parts list? im sure other members may choose to duplicate your efforts an results with the 496 BBC

^^^^ sure. BTW, my intake is pretty short as I want to tuck it under the original hood (71 mailbu convert.).

Had a place called bowers racing engines build it. I'm one of the few who actually got presidents day off and went down to the shop and they let me help build it.

I couldn't tell ya. I haven't driven it yet. Fastest motor I ever had was that 260hp 350 I used to have.

Only been waiting since last October. We had a rough winter here so I wasn;t to pushy about him hurrying it up. Now it's finally driving season and my wife is going to take a job in phx. So now I go from winter straight to afterburn summer time.

Awesome, congrats on the motor! Do you have any cam specs? You mentioned not having the Lift specs but how about a cam number or company.

The correct duration coupled with alobe center of106-108 works well. Most cams have to wide a lobe center off the shelf for your combo. I've seen 50+ ft. lbs. going from 112 to 108.
