I started with a low mileage forged crank '73 440 motorhome engine
Speed Pro L2355F .040 pistons .011" down in the hole. .028 MLS gasket .039 quench
Milled the Stealth heads to get a true 10-1 comp ratio
Has a mild Lunati Hyd cam .507"/.507 Lift 235/235 at .050 108 LSA 104 Intake center line
With the heavy pistons I wanded to keep the RPMs and the cost down with Stock stamped rockers and valve springs that came with the stealth heads
Intake is a Holley SD With an Edelbrock AFB style 800 cfm (NSS Legal)
Spark is 18 initial & 34 total all in by 2200PRM
Exhaust is Hooker Comps. 1-7/8" with 3" collectors running thru Full TTI exhaust to the back bumper w Super Turbo Mufflers (pretty quiet)
Has A dynamic 9.5" converter and a Fully Automatic John Cope 727. I just leave it in Drive and it shifts all by itseld at 5500.
Has a S-60 3.54 Power Loc Dana and 3800 lbs S/S springs. Its a pretty conservative gear but it helps keep the car consistant with small tires on some local tracks that are usually slippery
With me in the car and a full tank of gas it weighs right over 4000 lbs.
Im not really sure how much power its making but should be able to figure it out based on weight and trap speed
With 275-60-15 M/T DOT drag radials on 15X7" wheels it has gone 12.23 around 110 MPH on a warm day
With 9X29 Hoosiers on 15X8" wheels it has gone 12.13 at 111 MPH
The car fits 4 different classes and ran all 4 last year. Double entered it on many occastions
Pro ET. Sportsman ET, NSS/F (12.50 index) & DOT Street at MCIR
The rods should hold up even with the heavy pistons
Its a pretty conservative set up and drives great on the street Idles with 14 or 15 inches of vac.
Has good throttle responce and a wide power curve
Its Shell 93 Pump gas friendly Runs Cool even on hot days with the A/C on
One of these days Im going to make a drip tank for under the passenger seat so I can race with the A/C on going down the track
