Another 440 w/roots on the dyno

This guy is local to me and he made a little more HP than me.The shop is also local to me and great people with a Tuska dyno and he does a lot of circle track engines.The engine is now in a 34 Ford for no prep racing.

his video

Awesome power! That will be one hairy ride!

The car weighs 2900# so ya it gets moving fast.The car is in the PIston Power show Autorama at the Cleveland IX center.

Cool car and cool man cave/shop too. I wonder how old that dyno is? It would be interesting to sit down and bench race with that group of guys.

Can i ask what was that sparking coming from at the rear of the motor at the 10:45,12:45 and 12:47 on to the end from?
Just curious as never seen that happen.

Ray Banyas The owner op has not had the adaptor for mopar as he does sb/bb chevy most so this may have been his 1st mopar in 20yrs.He may have even borrowed the adaptor.So to answer you the flywheel may be hitting the scatter shield inside.

What were the best numbers, HP, Torque, boost amount and which RPM for them?
I'm in the middle of buying parts for a similar build with a Vortech crank driven centrifugal supercharger using E85 and a Holley EFI system on a 551 C.I.440 type build with B1-MC heads

1161hp 883tq idk rpm I am waiting to talk in person to the engine owner after the autorama this wkend

I remember the days of spinning the water valve on the dyno! Geez, that is some old equipment those guys are working with.

I can still remember seeing you use a similar dyno back when
Information comes in many different forms
The first engine dyno I saw was exactly like that one, it was at Valley Head Services when Larry Ofria owned and operated it in the mid 1980s.

Appreciate the video. Nice to see the behide the scene's at the dyno. I think the blower could use a wider belt.

Makes sense Thanks

Dave from my own experience on the dyno I think the ballancer is off center and the runout should be checked.

Clanton, I would love to hear the run down on that engine if possible.
Hope he doesn’t mind sharing

I am working on getting info

You want info go to his youtube page and ask he may enjoy the interest.

Ok, just noticed the belt wondering on the pully.

Surprise he's still using a 6al box with that blower, any ideal on which block he's using? Keith Black /Indy or who?

IDK the best view of the block in the video is at 8:29 and the block is painted so I think it is iron we will see what info I can get.

I got serious about stalking the guy and went to the piston power show to talk to him where they had a custom van in the show. The engine is a factory 400 471 kit,girdle mains,no block fill,Callies crank n rods,wiseco pistons,e-85 750 carbs,mw port heads cleaned up,700+ lift cam 1.7 rockers. He will get with me on more info of rpm hp,tq 9.5 converter 4.10 gear rear.

I liked the video, thanks for sharing! It's nice to see some 'real' troubleshooting and guys doing work and getting results with old equipment.

Gotta love seeing Dale in an EFI shirt He is the best carb guy sI have ever had the pleasure of being around. He has a vast knowledgebase with that stuff for sure and he's a great guy on top of that,

If that power is real, and i'm not doubting it is. It'll be interesting to see how long it lives.

Those driveway brunout makes the hair on my arm stand up That's a lot of motor for that car.

He has run NOS for a few yrs before thiss engine but ya the burnout makes me nervous after my wreck in the driveway.

Those videos are from a year ago.

Were there any successful track outings since then?

Not that I know of but in 1 video he said he had to rebuild the fuel pump and I taked for 1minute the other day and he has work to do on the 34 to get track ready. His son has a chevy van with a 540 he races almost in the 10's if you saw that video.Both of them work a lot so they do what they can.

Did they say how much boost they were putting to it?

12# boost and I am waiting on info of the pulley ratio buy mine used 9% UD for 12# last yr on the street.
