My car was pretty quick with the stock block 347, but the stock block was on the edge, so here's the new combo going together. I just picked up a Dart Iron Eagle race block (all 5 mains 4 bolt) and a forged scat crank and rods with JE pistons to build a 427 windsor. It will be a solid roller cam motor with either TFS cnc high ports, or AFR 225s. Open to suggestions on that. I plan to run either a Edelbrock Victor 5.8 with a 2 stage gemini setup or a super victor with a direct port system. Also open to suggestions on that. I'll be spraying a total of around 300hp. I have a Lentech trans now with a PI triple disc stallion converter now that stall at 4200 that I'll probably find the life expectancy on. I want it to make peak power at about 7000 to 7200 so I can shift it at about 7500. It will have the full UPR pro rear suspension with a built 8.8 with 9" ends 3.73s and a spool. It already has QA1s all around and a tubular front. As you can guess, this won't be my daily driver, but it will be driven. Let's hear your opinions and comments!!

 

Damn, sounds like a hot set-up. should be wicked.

what hp numbers or ET you shooting for?

 

I'm hoping it will go deep into the tens on the motor and into the nines on a single stage. As far as hp #s, with the high stall, who knows? 6xx on the motor?
What's your guess?

 

i would guess somewhere in the 600 range... thats going to be a sick set-up. Whats the final compression going to be? Shouldnt have much for street manners.... lol

 

It's going to be 11.2 to 1. Street manners be damned!
