would love to run it, just for the fun of it. And I will when I finish with the suggestion's that andyf made as far as torsion bars shocks and such. I do care how the car run's and it pulls real hard and runs awesome. Just wanted to know if the build was decent, and the sum of parts were compatible for mild street car. The estimated horse power was just out of curiosity. Was thinking heads might be a major choking point but think I will leave it alone because of the way it runs unless somebody here told me they where a real hindrance. From the sounds of what people are saying for me personally not worth the expense for the way I use the car. Thanks for your help though.
The huge unknown are all the details, as they matter immensely. And the heads is a really big one. The actual compression ratio is a big one too. The extremes of those two alone can easly be worth 100 hp.
A true 11:1 compression motor with a decent cylinder head (260 cfm at 0.500" lift) should get you to 475 hp, maybe more, IMO. In a full exhaust, 4000 lb race weight B body that should deliver a 112 to 114 mph trap speed at MIR on October. In what I call true street tire, street gear, street trim car, that will be a solid low 12 second car. A typical bracket car suspension, you be approaching mid 11 seconds.
Let us know how it goes
