looks like a possible upgrade, will have to wait and see how they do,,my question would be how much can the present ones be blown out from their currant rendition.

Did mock-up install today to evaluate plug clearance with the TTI A-Body (71 Swinger) RB Headers I'm running - Clearance looked good.

I tested a smaller cam today and with a Dominator carb it picked up significant power everywhere over the big cam/850 DP combo that I ran last time. Gained 40 ft-lbs of peak torque and 15 hp at peak. At the bottom of the RPM scale it picked up a ton of power.

I weighed the engine after it came off the dyno. 515 lbs complete with water pump, distributor, oil in the pan, etc. Not too shabby for a weight.

That is inline with another fellows 470 B engine with alum topend and oil in it, IIRC 519 lbs.

Andy the engine stand/dolly that you sell that you have pictured, do you still sell them ? I'd like to get one, IM me here when you get chance

thanks

Are we gonna get to hear what kind of mustard it made with what goodies?

Yeah that was a super popular product. Very handy too since I was the only guy who used 5 inch casters. The big casters let the engine roll really nice. I had to stop making those dollies though when I lost a key supplier.

675 hp and 630 ft-lbs of torque are the best numbers so far on pump gas. Still working on it.

Ok thanks...

Well we have had one ( yeah 1 ) head show up, might be looking at only making 200HP with this combo if the Australian Customs don't hand the other one over.

Nice,,with a little more compression it should be in the 700 range,,,keep us posted Andy.

Called TF yesterday morning and he said mine were about 3 weeks out, probably closer to 2.

Andy how big is that test mule?

It is a low deck 470. 4.375 x 3.91 with 10.5 compression.

Andy would you mind sharing a little more info far as piston,rods and cam

SCAT superlight crankshaft and I beam connecting rods. Diamond shelf pistons. First cam was a Bullet single pattern, 271/.690. Second cam was Ultradyne single pattern solid roller, 259/.650 lift. Third cam is being ground now. Also have a new carb on the way as well as a few other parts. Should be back on the dyno by the end of the month. The intake manifold needs to be ported but no luck getting that done quickly. Might need to try porting it myself.

Andy ,
did you try the dominator with the Bullet cam ? I presume the bullet is a flat tappet solid ?
thanks for your input

Tex

I did not try the Dominator with the Bullet cam, I didn't have it in time. The Bullet cam is a solid roller. I think the Bullet would work great if the engine had a little more compression or if it was in a dedicated race car. Low end torque doesn't matter too much if you have a 5000 stall!

Whoop! Whoop! Good to hear you are getting closer. I'm stalled out waiting for pushrods to arrive.

Did have to remove some material from a corner of the cast valve covers to clear MSD Distributor body (head to distributor clearance is fine).
