Depending on the grind, you could find 35, maybe 40 HP. Why so low on the RPM. You should be shifting it at 6800 or even 7000 if the parts are decent and your rocker arm geometry has been corrected.

The right grind and up the RPM a bit and you could find 50-60 HP maybe a bit more.


Built it to be a lower RPM small block that way it would be a low maintenance bracket motor.
