what is faster big block chevy or mopar? - 10/02/09 09:23 PM

using factory block and heads and no power adder what would be faster? big block mopar or chevy? not including a hemi because we all know nothing can beat a hemi. i know the chevy heads flow a ton more air but what else plays into it? the best we can get a factory wedge head to flow that i have ever seen was around 315 cfm. the chevy guys routinely get 375 from factory heads.

Just look at the fastest cars list from the 60's and 70's when these car were stock.

Kinda like asking whats heavier a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks

I think the answer to that question would lie in the NHRA records. Since the stock/super stock cars are required to have "stock" parts, check the NHRA rules for which motors/parts were rated highest. I think you'll find the 440-6 cars were fairly dominate in the faster classes.

You're dead right on that one Fred!!!
I still have my Hemi Satellite, and I know a couple of 6 pack cars that got me on the street...could usually catch them after about a 1/8th mile, but those wedges usually out run me thru 1st and 2nd.

Re: what is faster big block chevy or mopar? - 10/02/09 10:27 PM

you have to understand the totality of your question..
comparing a big block chevy to a big block mopar.
is like apples and oranges...its a clique, i know..
but the though process that went into designing both of these engines couldnt be more different.

mopar uses a long rod with lots of piston dwell..
and slower piston speeds..thats whey the head ports are where they are.
chevies have short rods. fast piston speeds and this means they need a ton of volume in the head port to fill the cyl quickly..
they make power differntly ..
you cant complain about a mopar head being smaller than a chevy...dont compare it to a chevy..
i am not saying one is better...just that they are different for a reason...engineer'd
its like using a gutter pipe for a garden hose..
or a garden hose for a gutter pipe..
just the wrong application.
cheapst
now as far as which mopar is faster...? thats never gonna end..
as a teenager i owned a 396 chevelle..all my friends had big block chevelles.
the fastest my chevelle ever went was 14.60 and that was a street car..
i purchased a 340 duster(still own it) and when i brought it out...all my chevy buddies gave me a real hard time...and i mean a ribbing..
it never ended...
especially after that 340 ran a 13.00flat..
faster then every single chevelle except one in the group..
with very little mods it was low 12 sec car.
so all in all ...its relative to what your camparing to...

Big deal i've owned/own a few small blocks that would kick they're asses too but the question is about BIG BLOCKS...so kiss my small block loving butt..

This is one of those emotionally charged debates that never gets resolved. my .02 on paper the Chevy wins. But in the real world that did'nt always happen...if you look at the HP ratings, they are pretty much the same. Due to the small port heads, the Mopars and even the Stage I Buicks had an advantage in low RPM TQ which is important on the street. Sm blocks in light cars like Dusters could indeed beat the heavy BB Chevelles.

For starters, the Hemi is a big block....
Secondly, If you're going to talk about the one of none high-end, solid cammed, 12 to 1 BBCs,,,, then you must include the original fastest cars on the planet.. the super stock Dodges. I don't know how well a 70 chevelle would hold against a 64 330 MW car??

Well, technically if the feathers were weighed using the British long ton and the bricks were weighed with the avoirdupois system the feathers would weigh more.

Just sayin'...

One thing to keep in mind is that in stock form 440s, both Magnums and Six Paks, were pretty mild engines. The Hemi was expected to take care of the more radical BBCs, like ZL-1s, LS6s and L88s. So it's pretty cool that a 10:1, hydraulic cammed 440 could often hang with an 11:1 solid cammed, rectangular port Rat motor.

Thats a very good point (and true). So its almost a moot point as to wether or not a Rat could beat a 440.

I knew a couple of ls6 chevelles that would beat a big block mopar and your unbeatable hemi no problem.. I had a 69 442 400-360 hp with 3.73 gears, started out stock about 14.30's and with a little work got to run consistant 13.80's on "real" street tires, and I felt like KING KONG. I could whack about anything I raced on the streets, 440 GTX's 396 Chevelles,Novas and Camaros, Cobra Jets, Didn't matter, until I ran a Hemi Orange 6 Pack Super Bee and He made a believer of me . I said "I'm a gonna get me one of them there Mopars without hood hinges" and I did, but mine was Green. With a small amount of work, the 6 packs would run deep in the 12's. Probably the best "Factory Street Racer" there was. These cars held the National records in their classes back in the day, before all the factoring crap and "replacement parts" they allow to brand x today in Stock. lol

I thought this was already done?
Darren Tedder built all of the best available big blocks,,,And the Hemi won with 800+ hp.

Well, if you take a bb chebby and a bb mopar and drop them from 100ft, the mopar will win The chebbies came with more alu parts than the mopars did

No, it would be a tie in that case. Grafity doesnt care about the type of metal.

If Buick would have cast 50 pounds more iron in the 455 blocks they would have killed off the big Chevy.

Instead, you have a lightweight block with decent heads that seizes the crank if you turn it over 5500.

Here is my chevy would make more power.There is just so much more available parts for the chevy.Now lets make a better comparison.396 chevelle vs a 383 r.r.close to the same advertised h.p..car weight is close.What you think??You want to compare the ls6,A closer rival would be a max wedge.Even A better comparison that I would like to see is an apple- apple test.take a 440 and a 454,build them the same.Comp. ratio,cam size,intake,carb, etc.basicly same modification to both engines,I think the mopar would come out on top.Anyone board with some engines laying around

You mean the 68 Hemi dart was beat by a $1,600,000.00 pig Bugatti? They probably turned the A/C off.

i really dont think there was a big block chevy in the country that was built for the same class that could out run a properly tuned hemi. i have an old friend that used to be sponsored by chrysler and all he ran was the hemi's. he said from the factory he was getting beat by the chevies and he couldnt figure out why. he checked the compression and it was a little under 10.1. he then made an offset bushing for the rod and it pushed the piston up for compression and he said the hemi came alive. he spent countless weekends massaging the pistons to exactly fit the head and a few other tricks and no chevy could beat him in his class. but my question is about big block wedge motors. a freind just built a 550 chevy using factory block and factory oval port heads and it made 758 hp. can a wedge motor do that is what i want to know. he said no way a mopar can make that kind of power with factory heads. i would love to prove him wrong.

I know it's one of basically none, but there is a true, factory ZL-1 corvette around here that was a Gulf oil research car. It's owned by a gentleman named John Mahr.

I don't know of a stock mopar big or small block that could touch that car.

Well I do know a guy up hear that made 750 with a set of 63 MW heads. My buddy actually owned them for a while, but never used them. Then there was the engine masters deal ,I think Hughes? or indy built a 740 horse deal.... but that was only 440 cubes...
If I built a 550 that made 750,....I wouldn't be bragging.

This is interesting I have own a number of vette's over the years and currently have a 2005 so I do know something about them.
They claim there where only 2 factory built ZL1's ever produced 1 is owned by Roger Judski of Roger's Corvette's here Maitland Fl and it is very well documented.
He has tried to track down number 2 and there was someone on the west coast that claimed to have it and it was a basket case but when Roger checked it out they could not produce any documentation on the car so he passed on it.
There where a number of vette's that had a ZL1 installed in them but not at the factory.

This guy had some motors laying around!
Remember this rightup about 8 years ago.
And for the record the Buick used T/A heads
and intake, so the Buick doesn't count.
All the rest used Edelbrock heads and intake.
They all had Hooker headers and the same carb
and same MSD. Cams and comp. were also real close.
The 440 was the smallest C.I. but made the same H.P.
as the Chevy at the top of H.P. numbers. The
440 was the king of TQ. for all the motors.
Steve Brule did these motors up at Wes-tech (I
think thats the name of the shop) The 440 made
535 HP at 5300 and 582 ft lbs. at 4100 RPM's.
Talk about a low rpm street monster!!!

So, YES the Mopar is faster than the Chevy.
(In this case)

Re: what is faster big block chevy or mopar? - 10/03/09 07:21 AM

I'm calling BS on 758 hp with oval port heads. What block did he use to make 550 cubic inches? Had to be a 502 block, no other factory block will support the inches unless you threw a 4.5 stroke crank in a tall deck block. Maybe then.

Re: what is faster big block chevy or mopar? - 10/03/09 08:50 AM

A question like this, gets no real answer, because someone knew someone, who had a fast whatever it might have been.....but when it comes down to it, cylinder heads are the answer. Given the same cubic inches, the same weight car and similarly prepared combos, the rectangular port Chevy, beats the wedge Mopar everytime. You can't compare stock and super stock, because of all the factoring and weight breaks. And as much of a Mopar guy as I am, it is not hard to see the advantage a rect port Chevy head has over a Mopar wedge.

well said and end of story, really. Even the oval port head is a better piece than the conventional wedge. In "original" configuration, the Mopar stuff had a better quality of materials from a durability standpoint, but the comparisons pretty much end there.

Let's not forget folks how much reverence the Mopar camp gave the Chevy Rat. If you get the chance to see the Ball Stud Hemi, it was pretty much a copy of the design.

1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray LT2 454 V8 465 ** 10.6 132 MT

4th on the list, is this supposed to be a real car from 1969 or some ones fantasy?




Memory is not as long as it needs to be on this one, but wasn't the 'LT2' another name for the L88 in 69? That '454' might be a typo and should say 427?

I could see an L88 Vette being that high up on that list.

And on that Edelbrock engine build up. I would have given Chevy the easy win on that one before reading it. Edelbrock is essentially a Chevy company that decided it could make money on other brands if they threw some stuff into the market. I still think the Edelbrock head for the 440 is a poor design in some important ways, AND being a Chevy company i would assume they had a lot more time to play around with improving the BBC, and more total design time in that head. Also factor in the bajillions ov well known, proven combos for the 454, compared to the (maybe) hundreds ov well known, proven combos for the 440, and i would have assumed the Mopar would have had its ass handed to it.

I think that shootout went a long way to proving how superior the BBM is to the BBC. Both were designed 45 years ago, and the builds didn't stray too far, so i think it proves the Mopar was closer to modern thinking than the Chevy. If Mopar had bothered with quench and had even the most primitive balancing specs back then, it would have been a legend on par with the hemi.

I was very surprised at how well the Mopar did. Goes to show how easy it is to make a Mopar fly. Just leave the junk antique pistons out ov the build and balance the damn thing!

i know that on paper it looks like the chevy will always win because of superior head flow. i know they are getting more head flow than most all of our aftermarket indy, edelbrock heads. but it seems the mopars always run with them at the track. is it because the rest of the head has a better design, like combustion chamber, high velocity ports that create more torque than chevy? and better valve degree?

I had a 454 BBC with ported ZL1 heads on it. It had a big roller cam, but it ran a high 10 in a 3100lb Nova with a bad plug wire. (motor was lent out while my car was being finished)

stock rods, TRW pistons, stock crank, mildly ported ZL1 heads, Victor intake, 1087cfm DP, 13.5:1 comp, .685 roller.

But, now there are FAST Mopar Wedges cars running 11.00's and not with slicks and ladder bars.

An LS-5 454 had a simliar build to a 440 magnum. Both engines used 10:1 ish compression, both engines had hyd cams and both engines used non holley carbs (LS-5 used a big Q jet?) LS-5 made 365hp and 440 mag made 375. The 440 was much much faster in the 1/4mile. The Chevy is like our hemi- It needs cam and compression to shine. Wedge motors ran hard with mild specs. (Mild compared to big bock chevies)

I'd say the BB Chevy hands down....so long as the BB Mopar was towing it down the strip...LOL...LOL
Couldn't resist...

To get oval port heads to support that kind of HP, they had plenty of time porting them
And if they truly got that much HP, then a good set of aftermarket heads would have picked it up another 80+HP...LOL

Back in the late 60's my friend Ron Kukuruda had a 64 belevedere with a 318. We bought a bone stock max wedge engine that was in a mopar crate from a speed shop in columbus ohio. This was an all steel car, with a mostly stock push button 727 and a 3000 converter. I think the car had 9" M & H cheater slicks on it also. I was with Ron on many of nights on the street & this car never even came close to losing to any big block chevy. When we finally got the car to the strip & took the covers off the cast iron headers the thing went mid 11s. Most of the people who ran at keystone & Pittsburgh (PID) know of this car which was bone stock down to the factory head gaskets.

Darren Tedder built all of the best available big blocks,,,And the Hemi won with 800+ hp.






even Darren would tell you that hemi was what they had laying around...
wasnt really stock.....

and the ball stud hemi...wasnt copy-ing chevy cause it worked better...
they did it cause they were looking for something cheaper....the rocker gear was costing a mint..

Randy,referr back to my early post about mopar racers around Pgh. on this thread.Our Mopar racers are like our Pgh Steelers and our Penguins.Our GM and Ford guys follow the Pgh Pirates.Ron and many others have made their mark.

I know it's one of basically none, but there is a true, factory ZL-1 corvette around here that was a Gulf oil research car. It's owned by a gentleman named John Mahr.

I don't know of a stock mopar big or small block that could touch that car.




This is interesting I have own a number of vette's over the years and currently have a 2005 so I do know something about them.
They claim there where only 2 factory built ZL1's ever produced 1 is owned by Roger Judski of Roger's Corvette's here Maitland Fl and it is very well documented.
He has tried to track down number 2 and there was someone on the west coast that claimed to have it and it was a basket case but when Roger checked it out they could not produce any documentation on the car so he passed on it.
There where a number of vette's that had a ZL1 installed in them but not at the factory.




I'm betting if you dig you will find THREE Corvettes with ZL1 engines.... three different colors too!
White car- Kevin Suydam car VIN 6753, Yellow car Roger Judski (the "drug car") VIN 29219 and John's automatic car VIN 10209

As for the question, the answer is EASY.

On a MoPar forum, the MoPar was faster for sure from the factory.

On a Chevy forum, the Chevy was faster for sure from the factory.

What do I win?

Thats just what I was going to say. But to compare the bigblock wedge to the bigblock Chevy in stock contition you would have to use the Max Wedge as that was the baddest wedge for Mopar right from the factory. Ron

Funny stuff that makes these "lists".

I am willing to bet that is John Maher's car with a PROTOTYPE 454 LT2 engine in it.

Who wants to bet...?

That's what I was thinking. If you read that list, it seems about 60% of it is out to lunch!
