wont give the cam specs so dont ask! ill tell you that its SMALLER than Joe's. no offense Joe.

536hp @ 6800
475lbs @ 5300
over400 lbs from 3300 to 6900
over500hp from 5600 to 6900
bsfc were mid to low 400's throughout and rich at throughout.
might not be out of this world to some but its the most hp/cube I've done!
very happy customer Mike! Thank you!

Excellent! Especially your reference to God. That's pretty rare these days. Congrats on a fine build

Looks like you had a good recipe to follow.That was a long time ago.

That is a nice spread between peak torque and peak HP. Well done!

Is there a specific reason why only 10:1 ?

My bread and butter come from agriculture/industrial and service shops in the area. I do less than a dozen hot rod engines a year and very seldom fully assemble them complete with one or two getting dynoed. Being a small one man shop, I cant afford to push limits. 10:1,10.5:1,11:1 more power only shortens the fuse length,reduces reliability and that's not want my customer wanted.We are 36hp more than our goal and 60 more than what we would have been content with.

What block?

late 60's block. cant remember exactly. couldnt get a 2 piece to fit right so had it machined for a one piece. studded and girdled. stock pump made 63lbs @ 6800.

Good inspiration, I am building a 10.1 357 SBC very similar to this, I have my RHS heads just under 200cc's flowing 299 at .600 lift and looking at running a very aggressive solid roller in the 274 on seat range.

thats making alot of steam!! awesome job!!

Glad it worked out.

Seems to be asking alot out of a factory 302 block of any kind. People have made more HP, but that was with supercharging and lower RPM's.

Out of curiosity, what were the journal specs on your scat crank?
I've got one here that is 2.2490 across the board and 2.1235/6 on the rods.
Very little if any taper on either.

Nice Job by the way.
