Although you might get it done with the Eddie SB heads, I would suggest you go one step better in the heads to be sure and run the number. Heads make the power, get some good ones.

a cast stroker crank is plenty.

MP 360 shortblock..(arp rod bolts, main studs)
(just cleaned up no porting) w5 heads, flat tappet .650 cam, 13:1 #3100 72 duster and 1.45 60foot, 10.50s at 126...shifts at 7500rpm and footbraking. um yeah cast stroker crank will be plenty.

These are stock rods, hypertetnic pistons and the stock cast crank, 3 full season and haven't had any issues, won the pro championship last year 3rd this year (car is spinning due to track)

good pistons, cast crank. h-beam rods, good heads (large port commando's, w2's or 5's) good cam, converter and traction ..you're there.

I know where there are at least 5 sets of race W2's, open chamber.

Where? I need another set.

i could use A first set....

At that weight you wont need a bunch of engine. It amazes me that when it comes to ET everyone talks powerplants and most don't dicuss converters/clutches, tranmissions, and and gear ratios. Just as important if not more so but not as exciting to talk about.

Ya'll get me the hp and I'll do the rest as I said this is going in a 10teen big block car. It has a 4.56 gear and I will have the 8 inch converter restalled and put all my 727 guts in a small block case. The car low 1.42-1.38 60' now at 3150. I believe the chassis has it covered.

Yep, sound's like your on it.

Interesting post to read. My dads stroker stuff is sitting at the machine shop and should debut next year. We hit 10.9's with his KB piston iron head 360 this fall. The W5 340 should be a hoot!

It depends on what you all ready have unless $$$ is no object. I agree E-heads are not the best and would not be my first choice. I had a new intake, headers, and H/S roller rockers off my X heads, so I was not too keen on replacing everything to go offset. You are going to pay for a good port job anyhow, so at the weight you are at you can get there with the E heads.

As far as cast cranks go, I error to the overkill side. Forged crank and R3 block here. I sleep better at night that way.

its just my opinion but wouldent this be great tech archive material???



THANKS!!!!

I have heard that for the money you will spend on mallory to balance the cast crank you may as well step up to the forged crank.
