Combo looks good, fairly simular the the CarCraft Edelbrock headed 440 built many years ago that made 535 HP, and really good torque (with unported heads.)



I don't believe the numbers that mag articles throw out on engine builds ESPECIALLY if the engine was run on the HAPPY WESTECH DYNO . No way that build above is going to make 550HP with that tiny HYD. cam . Also if you are shooting for 550HP ditch the stock rods , it makes zero sense to run them considering the low cost of better quality replacements available .
