Looks like we will be going up on the dyno today with my new 540!!! Anyone care to take make any guesses as to what it will make? Before any of the nay-sayers start jumping in, I realize that dyno numbers should be taken with a grain of salt and that the real numbers come out at the track. Here is a brief run down of the combo:
World Mega Block- 4.500" bore Callies 4.250" crank 2.2" rod Callies CompStar H-Beam rods Diamond custom pistons Comp roller cam and lifters (duration @.050"= 274 int/280 ex 112 c/l 740" lift) Trend pushrods- pushrod oiling Indy -1 345CNC heads flow 370 @.700" Jesel 1.7 rockers Manley Nextek springs Manley intake, Ferrea exhaust valves Indy 440-2 intake Holley 1150 Dominator Hamburger oil pan Milodon dual line swinging pick up Compression is about 12.5:1
Thanks are owed to Shawn Meyer at St. Claire Engine in Richmond, Mi. for his engine building talent and patience with me and all of my stupid questions. I would also like to thank HardcoreB for his help as well as Bob George for advise and parts. I will try to post video and pictures with the results tonight or tomorrow.
Wish us luck!!!
Randy

First off, I would like to thank everyone for their interest and well wishes! Holy smokes, I don't know where to start. It was one heck of a day. We started making some initial pulls to get a base line only to find out that the only part I re-used from my old motor was bad. I had a Summit SFI balancer that only had about 50 passes or so on it and when Shawn checked the timing he found that the ring had slipped a whole bunch. Sean (HardcoreB) ran home and grabbed the one for his build (thanks a bunch) while we pulled mine. I had bought a factory reconditioned 1150HP Dominator and we just couldn't get the fuel curve to come in after jet and air bleed changes. Sean to the rescue again! He had an older modified Dominator of unknown origin that we swapped . Second pull with that carb and and our last drops of fuel netted us the best numbers of the day. 830 h.p. @6700 rpm and 775 ft. lbs. of torque @5500 rpm! This is right where Shawn said it would be. I will try to post some pics and video later today. Randy ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif)

What size headers were used on the dyno? (dia and length) ... But I would have liked to see more CR.
Why did you pick that CR?
They were a 2" primary with varying lengths (from 30-37") but they have proven themselves to make good power on many other engines. They were built to fit a "B" body so, they had some packaging compromises. I suggested he put even LESS CR in it. (11.5) It would have made 800 HP even then. I was nicely impressed, the engine made a little more power than I expected. And there was I'd guess 20HP more to be had on dyno with some PCV and playing with oil system. But the key is it is sorted out now and ready for his car. But the car may not be ready for the new engine. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif)
