Well I finally got my new 394 from Ross Racing. Here's a picture of it on the dyno.

 

Awesome! Video? Specs? Dyno charts? Dont tease us like this!!

 

More! More! Do you have a video, with sound of course, of it on the dyno?

 

YEEHAW !!!!!!! I look forward to hearing it run, the next time I see the car.

 

Hmmm, any problems dealing with Ross Racing Engines? Just curious. Nice looking engine. Will be looking for more information. Thanks

 

Pic might be from 6 years ago...or may not be.

Hope your numbers are better than 340.

 

Yep and here’s mine on the dyno!! All 340 HP according to Tony! Suppose to be a complete 1963 engine. Mine has fuel pump block off plate as well. All 13K + worth that’s not in my possession yet

 

That's not a 1963 engine . Look at the timing cover and water pump .
This is a 1963 engine ;

 

Charlie Jones you are exactly correct. Tony with Ross Racing Engines has been building a complete 1963 394 for me since November 2013. $6500 down in 2013 and received the pic I posted from him last week saying that was my engine on the dyno.

 

I tried to load it running on dyno but it won't load.

 

KQQLKAT,
Let’s see your dyno sheet, build sheet and by the way when did you order your motor and was it on your core?

 

He said it would be around 425HP ended up being 415HP

Getting engine ready to go in.

 

415 hp, is a good number for a streetcar. It's none of my business "but" what was the time limit between delivery and pick up of your engine? Without of quoting $numbers, was the engine final $$ near your estimate? Being an Olds guy and living nearby to Ross, I've always spoke well of Ross and have recommended him to Oldsmobile owners. As of lately, I'm not recommending Ross. I'm a big fan of the 1961's, love the post, love the roof. Beautiful car.

 

It took a little over a year and I drove down to get it. It was exactly what he quoted.

 

That ought to make that old '61 two door FLY ! You do have a posi unit in it don't you ?

 

Awesome! Care to share the specs? Compression ratio, cam specs, any head work done?

 

Did I read this correctly ?!
6 years. Holy Sh** ... You are a patient man.

 

There were reasons the 60s Gasser crowd loved the 394. Unfortunately they loved them so much they used 'em almost all up!

 

Yes Sir!! You did. !! When I went to get it though Tony treated me like I was trash. He acted like I had only given him a week to build it.

 

Updates? Both from KQQLCAT and Vern.......please.

 

Well it's in and has been started but it's too cold out to test. Exhaust was too strong in garage so I put it to sleep for winter. Exhaust is louder now didn't expect that. Must be because it now has 10:25 to 1 compression. Also I put in a new Power master Alternator generator.

 

Sweet!

 

Pat, what rear end and ratio are you running ? Did you need a core for the alternator/generator? Engine looks good except for the color.

 

Looks great! Where did you find the fan shroud?

 

Can you post up the dyno test data?

 

2:78 Fabcraft posi unit, and no you just buy the alternator but the upper bracket has to be fabbed. Color?

 

Came with car when purchased.

 

Here is a picture of the roller rockers he put on. He manufactures them.

 

These fit under the stock valve covers KQQLCAT? Are you running a custom grind cam as well? Was any port work done to the heads? Are you going to chassis dyno the car? AAAhhhhh.....so many questions!!

Looks great though and I'm glad you are sharing this.

 

Yes the stock valve covers fit. Probably won't chassis dyno it with 2:78 gears in the rear whats the point. Has a roller cam and lifters so it's a custom grind cam but not extreme I wanted it to be streetable.

fourth push rod on the right doesn't look like its setting right

 

Rockers weren't on yet I just wanted to show you guys the lifters.
