It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any progress on project 470 ci however today the 470 was on the dyno and made 603 horsepower and a real nice flat torque curve with 627 ft lbs all happening under 6000 RPM!! Until Moparts becomes Apple friendly, I refuse to post any pictures so don’t ask me to post the dyno sheets.
My customer was very happy with the results. Not bad for a engine with a smallish hyd rolller and a dual plane intake. The Thumper 950 carb from Dominic rocked out of the box!!!!!
Next project will be another 505 RB with a set of Trick flow 270’s bolted on!!! Stay tuned and hopefully by then I can kick back and post away with picks of the build from my IPad.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the girdle with the aluminum caps did not blow up and fail as some hoped for on Moparts and......... drum roll please........ the beehive springs operated flawlessly with the Hughes rocker arms......... NEXT!
