got a chance at a 451 short block at a good price...want to ask a few ??? on this before i try to pull the trigger...short block has 14.1 comp pistons with 72 cc heads (my heads are 72cc as well) it has a 690 roller,mil gear drive, with billet mains,and studs,good crank and rods..now what kinda power could i see with this motor ..my heads should go 350 with the bigger valves and gasket matched (2.25 val)
-1 with t&d 1.6 rocker,intake i guess i will look for the 400-2 as i have a 440-2 for a 440block with the 2" spacer,buddy has a nice 1150 carb...
all this will be fit to a 727 trans no brake as of now,either 8" 5600 verta or 9.5 5000 verta, in a 70 duster about 2900lbs right now...suspension will be up graded to backhalf ladder bar with coil over and a dana rear..
will this combo get me down in the low 6's in the 1/8 mile without much trouble?????just getting a feel of this before i go ahead and buy the short block thanks mike
