thanks. started a little down that road and just kept going!!

Very impressive end result.... Rather menacing looking vehicle for sure and obviously enough power to back up the looks. Would like to see a video of it running/driving if you get a chance... Congratulations!

It’s simple. I love it!

Drive it like you stole it!

thanks and yup

And...

No one has mentioned that the baby 3.27" stroke crankshaft IS the ticket to higher RPM.

Its only problem is its lack of low-end torque!

It can STILL make north of 300lbs./ft above 2500 RPM.

It just can't make 500+ like many Gen 3 and up do.


So, it's best used in a light car with high RPM gearing...

I wonder where we can find such a car?



I don't think the stock crank could take it but if I was building a short stroke (modern) GM V8 I'd be hunting an 8500 redline.
Stock crank would be 7500...

Car looks KILLER. Got a bit of "Mad Max" going on there!

agreed but big torque in our little cars ... is bit beyond me. infact i did cam it to move the graph to the right. even at 300 ft lbs 325 hp it's going to be a handful. I have short driving time as of yet but trying to figure out what gear ur in is a little tuff. it just pulls in all
