I hope to get better numbers after it's in the car and we can work
with the carburetor some. The guy running the dyno took my carb off
and put a custom job that was on the shelf on my engine and picked up
17 more horses without any tweaking (469hp). I just can't afford
custom stuff like that though.
BTW, I forgot to mention I'm running L78 heads. Although I did get the
heads rebuilt, I did not have any porting or polishing done.

TRW-L2242F30 SPEED-PRO POWER FORGED PISTONS
MOLLY RINGS _ CANT READ P/N
COMP CAMS CCA-11-430-8 MAGNUM RETRO-FIT HYD. ROLLER CAMSHAFT .566

COMP CAMS CCA-7991-1 HI-TECH 3/8 IN INTAKE PUSHRODS
COMP CAMS CCA-8900-1 HI-TECH 3/8 IN EXHAUST PUSHRODS
Good numbers! What carb type and size did they try to get the
extra HP? Does anyone out there get 7K rpm with a roller hyd cam?
Larry Williams
65 SS 427
I also used...
All new ARP fasteners
870 Holley Street Avenger carb
Edlebrock Performer RPM intake
Mallory Comp9000 distributor
Misc other parts like oil pump, harmonic balancer, etc.
Including the cost of machine work on my block and heads,
balancing, and a used forged crank and the work on it, I spent
around $5000. I assembled the engine myself.

Thanks Clint..It seems like I spent 2500 blue printing and
balancing that 400..What about a roller cam? not really
familiar with them, but hear a lot of talk about them..I'll
keep you posted..I really want to put the 396 back in there..tom
