build me a bad a$$ small block

I would go with the bigger bore if you want to use w8 or 9 heads, you just cant fit 2.20 intake valves in a 4.10 bore

i looked at that and i would rather the bigger bore regardless of head.

48* adds a $1000 to the 360-1 head

Correct, that is why he said above he doesnt think it has to be a w8 or w9 deal. with an indy head 4.100 with a long crank would be fine.


If i wanted a bad [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] small block on the cheap, it would be an r5p7 motor, can get a fresh, COMPLETE, and ready to run motor that will make 700 horsepower( likely more)easily for less than you can build an eddie headed 416 that would make 500 ponies, much less an indy headed deal you are going to have 15k in or more when all is said and done.

freind of mine locally did this exact thing and went 9.40's with the supplied belt driven water pump, and junk headers he fabbed up off a w2 motor. And it ran super cool at the track with even back to back laps. Drove it around on the street as well.No telling what it may have run had he played with it a little more than he did.

48 degree is well worth a grand.

Sounds like you want a low RPM engine grunt engine.

---

no, why do you say that? that is why i would choose the bigger bore over the stroke

that many inches even with an indy head is going to lower the power band down somewhat.my old w5 motor was pretty much done at 7000rpm even at 422 inches, i suspect it made peak power at about 6700-6800rpm. With pump gas you obviously will have a smaller camshaft than something with 13 or 14 to 1 compression. 440 inches on pump gas with indy heads should make its most power probably around 6500 imo.

Oh, i see what your saying. Hell, i saw a set of 360-1 heads on quicktrees motor and those ports looked huge to me. as a matter of fact, at a PRI show, quicktree started cracking up, and i was like what are you laughing at, he said look how small those bb ports are. he was pointing at EZ heads

anyone know how Quicktree is doing?

Why not a big block LOL!!!

---

I guess he wants to spend a ton of money.

---

well, at the amount i have spent so far on this small block, i could have built 3 600 hp big blocks which in a 3000 pound car would run a decent number

How about a 450cid, pump gas, Indy heads done by me, 1250 dominator, pump gas and around 700-720HP for about 15,500.00?

It won't be a street cam but it will make the power. 48° block, Charlies pan, etc....

Basicly our 800Hp build on pump gas and different cam.

that's a TON of money. WHy not just use a low compression 360 and a blower and be done for half? less cam, less stall and less gear required and you can DRIVE IT

---

I agree NA is not the best way to get that much power. But that wasn't the question. And that included Carb to pan, headers and belt drive.

It might be less, but I never quote low...makes for upset customers.
I'm involved with a customer of mine doing a Twin Turbo deal, RHS heads, hyd. roller cam that should make 700+ on pump gas with around 8-9psi and then we'll turn up the wick to about 14psi and see what happens.

He'll have about 12K in it including the Mega Squirt EFI!
