Yes the rating is the same (RON+MON/2)stealth wrote:Are you sure your 100 octane is the same as the US 100 octane? Different counties measure it differently. Some do and average, some do other things...
just so you know what your actually dealing with.
To be honest this post objective is evaluate how would work a rebuild 471 blower on a good engine like a 327 with the parts described...this engine is only a idea...ap72 wrote:If you only want 500hp you can get there with 10psi or less, it becomes VERY dependant o the rest of your engine combo. A box stock 327 will need a lot more than one that has been thuroughly warmed up. You mentioned that imported parts cost a lot- which sucks- but you are not restricted in that manner to local machine work. Find a competent machinist and get your 327 in top notch condition then boost it. A great porting job can do a lot for you, and the exhaust you run can affect boosted power in a BIG way. If you can build a 9:1 327 that puts out 400hp NA then getting 500hp with 10psi should be pretty simple. And a 400hp 327 is not that hard to do- even with mostly stock parts.
It sounds like you listed a lot of good parts but you don't need to be spending all of that money, you don't need half of the parts you listed to hit 500hp, I would instead maybe look at buying a 6-71 in place of your 4-71.
The superchargers we have here was factory installed in old Chevy six cylinder diesel trucks and tractors and are not so easy to find nowadays..wjnielsen wrote:Are GMC superchargers easy to get in Brasil?
I don't really know much about 'em; can't give any advice. But if you need a pair of 600 Holleys, I think I have a matched pair around which could be sold very affordably. I'll have to check, which may take a week or so.
And you get a bump to the top for your supercharger info search...
