mp electronic ign, orange box
tti 1 7/8" headers

just wondering what you guys think this motor should be putting out? it was fairly inexpensive to build, which was nice and i think it will be a good street motor for the time being, but i know the major hold back right now are the heads and the carb.

I like it, the heads is one thing you might want to save the money on porting and put a nice set of aluminum ones on it? IMO, the carb is ok, for right now!

What type of tranny, gears, and wheels are you running? Also tell us more about the cam.

should be good for a 12 sec pass.

It is almost identical to the 440 in my 63. I have a complete stock bottom end with KB quench pistons for my 906 heads so it runs great on pump gas. I have 10.0 comp and I installed the 2.14 and 1.81 valves in my 906's also. It has Hedman 1-3/4 headers with 3" exh. I also use the Holley Street Dominator with an 850 DP and I use the MP .557 cam with Isky nodular iron rockers. I use 4.30's with a 30 x 9 tire and a dynamic 9.5 converter. My 63 weighs 3700 with me and I figure it is making right about 500 flywheel hp by its 11.49 @ 116 best et. You should go easy 12's in a B-body and maybe even low 12's with the right tune and drivetrain combo. Ron

Should be a real nice package. Good power and gentle street manners.

At 10.4 CR, that small cam, and iron heads, you probably won't get away with running straight pump gas

that nice.... should go 12.00 with 3.91s 28x 10.5, 3800 stall 5200 flash, 3800 lb with frame conectors. very similar to my old 446, wonderful street/ strip motor.

the car is a 71 road runner, right now it has an 8.75 with 3.55's out back, tires are 255 70 r 15's, not all that great.. there is a local guy with a set of 3.91's and 4.56's though.
the trans is a 727, nothing special done to it, and its running a 10inch converter
