OK, this is what I ran.  454 block, bored 0.060", standard stroke of 4".  I used GM "049" oval port open chamber heads with 2.08/1.73 valves, 9.5:1 compression, 750CFM carb, dual-plane manifold, small tube headers with mufflers, and the Crane Energizer 282 cam file (0.050 lift numbers).  I have seen odd things happen with some cam files, but I found two other files that confirmed my numbers. This is a torque king engine, but not too much at the top end.  Torque is over 450 from 2,000 to 4,500 RPM. HP: 398 @ 5,000 TQ: 489 @ 3,500 This engine should have great street manners and pull like anything.  If you want to sacrifice a lot of low end torque, you could go to an aggressive roller cam and pick up about 70 HP. Here are screen shots of your combo: http://ep.com/brad/ForumPix/john468graph.gif http://ep.com/brad/ForumPix/john468table.gif Brad Waller     ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) '66 Corvette | 327/dead | 4-speed   | Wilwood Brakes | 245/45/16 BFGs '67 Chevelle | ex-SS396 | 355/700R4 | '79 F-Body Brakes -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 8:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] My combo on desktop dyno -- me too!
