R3 9.0 siamese
4.185 x 3.700
Diamond Piston 12.4CR
Bryant 3.70 crank
Early Brett W8s
2.19 Ti
1.60 Inconel
Stock cam bore
Predator 266/274 @ .050 .728"
Jesel Truck series rockers
Caliies Ultra Rods 6.000
598 intake-minor clean up and port match
Bob Book 4150

Waiting on Schoenfeld 2" dyno headers to show up next week

Plan was to hit it with a 250-275 wet shot

I know that intake is gonna hurt me.
I have one of Brett's big 420.2's but it don't want to cut it to fit until I get this thing running. And I don't own a 4500 anyhow.


Should be on a Stuska within a month. Wanna make a guess?

My hope is 700 @ 8000

If the power curve is gaining, will pull higher to nose-over

Wow. Should do much better than 700, based on my 368" BattenW2 13.0:1 @ 640 - less lift, 850 CFM, 2" Stahls.
That's a lot of water control goin' on.

1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

700 HP should not be any trouble.

2+ HP per cubic inch would be expected.

That is going to make well over 700hp.....I figure 750 with a 4500, subtract maybe 16hp for the 4150 and 734hp is my guess...

I don’t see how that thing wouldn’t crush 700hp.

Very nice motor! Thanks for sharing. What did Brett think it would make? I'm sure it'll make well over 700HP.

I'd think with the nitrous it'll be near 1000.

Mid 700s

These were heads that Brett had done a long time ago prior to me getting them. When he was at my house last year, he recognized them.

This is my first W engine, so I'm trying to be conservative with my expectations.
