Quote: andyF had built stock stroke 400 build that IIRC made 580HP through headers...
IIRC it had ported eddies (paint 'em and most won't notice), an eddie RPM, 800CFM eddie carb and a smallish solid roller cam, IIRC.
That is all true, but that engine was also more of a race motor than a street motor. We had as much compression as we could fit into the combustion chambers. I think that engine was over 12:1. That was a killer motor. It went into a '72 Duster and the guy had a lot of fun on the street as well as the track.
