I would have a talk with him and tell him you've got reputable builders here telling you that the block doesn't have enough meat to be drilling the holes larger and see how he responds.

I am expecting an e-mail from Ed to let me know what he has planned for the cam. I did specify to him I do have to pass the sniffer. I dont know if he gives you all the info as it is supposed to be "custom". I really have no idea what HP numbers I will have but a trip to a chassis dyno will be first on the list after I get it in. If anyone wants to guess the numbers for me I am game!

not that you asked my opinion on this - but the 24 pounders may be a touch on the small side. I would expect that combo, with a healthy cam and proper tuning, to be capable of 400 fwhp. If i am not mistaken, the 24lb stuff is safe up to around 360 hp. Just food for thought . . .

check my sig pretty similar setup but i have the tfsr intake and11;1 compression and edelbrock 6037 heads upgraded springs 2.02 heads,and custom chip.i dynoed at 341 rwhp.i think with a custom cam and some port work on the heads i would be around 390 at the wheels.i do experience some detonation with this setup even with 10 degree base timing and 92 octane with outlaw octane boost.

Sounds just like mine. I was hoping for 360rwhp and 375rwtq. Told Ed my car is my daily, keeping AC and all that crap, pass CA emissions....Should be nice and torquey.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
