'65 289 block, '65 cast crank indexed and rod journals turned to V6 Chevy size, Howards Aluminum rods, stock length, TRW 12.7:1 pistons, Schneider solid roller cam (pic of cam card below), Erson 1.6 Roller Rockers, ported '69 351W heads, 2.02/1.60 Stainless valves, Offy 360 dual top tunnel ram, a pair of Holley 660 center squirters (yes, that's 1320cfm potential, bigger than a Dominator), Jerico 4-speed (2.95 1st), 5.67 gears, 9x30 slicks
11.08@119 in the 1/4 in a 3000# car with driver. Moroso's slide rule calculator shows about 400hp, Tim McAmis' calculator shows 384 RWHP to run 119 in the 1/4 at that weight. Never dyno'd the engine. Launched at 6400 and shifted and crossed at 8000. No replacement for displacement my azz, btw, this engine was built in the mid 80's before there was any aftermarket heads, much less aluminums ones. It was all old school, I bought the long block for $2250 and had $500 in the carbs/intake. I am in the process of selling the heads with rockers for $600 to a friend who's in college and can't swing aluminum for his Fox right now. I hope to sell the rest of it except the carbs, but I may sell them with the intake if someone want them that way. I'd take the same price I got the carbs/intake for. I'll have the shortblock at WFC for about $500. I figure the pistons and block are still good, but someone may want to run the shortblock as is until she blows. It still runs good, it's had a set of Canfields and a Funnel Web with a Pro Systems carb on it in a 3200# '68 coupe with a PA C4 and 4.33s running high 11's, but it won't pull the wheels like it did when it was old school. I thought about putting the engine back the way it was, freshened up and put it back in the 3000# car as we still have all the stuff, and try to make it go 10's all N/A, but I've decided to give up on the SBF stuff, I'm an FE guy now, pretty much.
