I know I know, my car hasn't even made one pass yet but you and I both know that I won be satisfied with a N/A 306 very long. I have always wanted to build something different nad ibelieve I may have found a combo that would most definantly make power, but would be rather expensive to build. But man it would be fun.
Follw this link, It will take you to a page based on a motor build up. It include dyno charts at the end of the atricle as well. I will tell if oyu dont wish to lool they start with a 302, add 351 Cleveland heads, crane cam and some other goodies. Swap between two different intakes specfic to that block and head combo and get 370 horse @ 5500 RPM and 388 Ft. Lbs. of torque @ 5500 RPM granted this is all from a relativley stock bottom end ( 289 rods and 351 Cleveland pistons) but in a stock block with the proper ARP studs where necessasary. Now while I was at WFC5 I seen that Procharger had a new Carb Ford setup with they're new style supercharger. Any guesses, estimates on teh power I could make with a 347 stroker, the clevland heads ( as explained in the article) with the new procharger installed??? It would most deffinantly be different, have the weight advantage of a small block and just be real cool to look at and show off at the track. I know a stud girdle would be necessary and custom headers would be a must but what do you think. Looking for opinions..
