Never really did much with the smaller version but thought it would work in the Valiant better than a B engine . This motor may not be the last one we will have to see where to go from here . The basics are , its a stock stroke , 30 over 360 Has Eagle crank and rods , Edelbrock performers , with a light port on them The cam is a flat tappet , I have the part number ,etc but not at my finger tips right now from Hughes Super Victor intake , quick fuel 850 carb Msd Dist that is locked out Compression is 12.6 .. Harland sharp rockers .. I got home late from the dyno, made 495hp @ 482 tq --6500 rpm's I needed a carb spacer to push it over the 500 mark, did not bring one with

Watch out Bigdad, as these small blocks become addictive. They are so easy to get running 9's or low 10's and so easy to work on compared to big blocks in tight spaces. Not really a fan of the Super Victor intake although I did run 9.73 with one after LOTS of work. Its now sitting on a shelf probably never to be used again. Love the Indy intake and the Victor 340.

Lot of pluses in a small block. Distributor's at the back for better weight distribution. Plus it's mounted vertically, so the electricity won't leak out like on the big ones, where it's all tipped over 'n' such. Parts are smaller, so they cost less. They fit in smaller cars, so you don't need nearly as big a tow rig. They're more economical, and with the price of C-12 these days, that can make a difference in the racing budget. You know the old saying; Once you go A, you never, ummm...well, danged if I know.

Sounds like easy mid-11s in the Valiant, depending on weight & gear. Maybe low 11s. Wallace says Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 3100 pounds and HP of 500 is 10.70 seconds and MPH of 126.29 MPH.
