Re: Engine?
This car is an iron headed (781 I think) 496. It's making 657hp and 675tq. It's a daily driver. |

Thank you for the honest example. You can get an ls2 with trans and harness, put headers on it, put a cam in it, add injectors and get it tuned. For about the same amount. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Engine?
That's the price for a used motor right?

Re: Engine?
I would hope a 496ci motor would run as good as my little 347ci motor did on a 100 shot, it has 150ci on it. Now as my cubic inches get closer to that 496 mark (418ci) I would suspect I would need less bottle.
Again, I am not saying you can't make big power on the BBC platform. With any NA motor, if you have comprable heads for the ci (flow enough for the ci), the right cam and combo, a bigger cube motor should make more power, period. I just see too many bad big block combos to be an advocate of the big block craze. I'm not drinking the cool aide, but then again a lot of you big block guys aren't drinking the LS cool aide.. To each his/her own. That's what makes this sport fun!! |

Re: Engine?
If I put a big block in it, it wouldn't be light weight anymore :) at some point I will change the combo, go with a solid roller in hopes to go 9's. And please correct me if I am wrong, and I do respect his truck, but I believe dj never went 9's NA with his big tired big block truck with less weight than me.

I went 9.8o's with number one rod trying to come out...and my truck is all steel no power adders. The best motor for him is what he can afford and what he is comfortable working on. IMO

Re: Engine?
I look at what an engine can make per cube. that 496 is making 1.44 per cube,.. very nice ,..a 376 CI LS engine will make 1.46 very easy.
I have owned BB, SB and yes the LS as well. Dollar for dollar you can not beat them ,... facts are what they are. If I did not have the parts I had from the 383 that went south. I would have went LS all the way. There was a great write up a while back on a 6.0 that they bought a cheap stroker kit and went at it. Heres the link,http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles...d/viewall.html now take that same bone yard engine that you start with say 1500 bucks another 1500 in the stroker kit, swap the cam intake carb, ign and you are making well into the 575-600 range and all in money wise you can spend about 5000-6000 buying all new parts and have a engine that makes killer power is is extremely tough and will still handle the juice for the extra power :devil: I built a el cheapo 413 stroker for the junk yard engine. With some looking around we where able to pick up a few used parts here and there. Once done with a E bay pro form carb and PP intake it laid down 612 hp that 1.48 per cube. Total budget 4100 bucks. Gotta love a BBC for running on 7 TOO funny |

Kevin, I hope you weren't thinking I was bagging on your truck, not at all. Your truck has always impressed me. I used you truck as an example as it is/was lighter than mine, more cubes etc. It's not as easy to go 9's let alone 10's NA in one of these trucks, yet some make it sound like they grow on trees.

Re: Engine?
I would hope a 467ci big block would get my truck in to the 10's. It would be rather sad if it didn't. You should go in to the big block building business and show some of these other cats how to make some power. Again, I am not saying big blocks can't make power.
