Building a 455 for a customer that's a member on here, will post pictures as I go through the process, along with the dyno test.

 

Looking forward to seeing it come together.

 

Nice. Love to see what you cook up

 

Nice. This should be educational.

 

Fallowing! Good to see you active again!

🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's only been 6 weeks. Another 6, and the machine work should start.

 

Lol, good one. I can't wait to see it when it's done, prob going to be a monster.

 

Yes, it's been a long wait for the customer, 4 years to be somewhat close, its finally almost done. The dyno test is next week. Thanks to Bernard Mondello and DR Dan Macal for getting me parts very quick! And BTW living in Marble Falls your right across the bridge from me.........

 

Vortec where have you been ... all work and no play time I assume.

Awesome, very much looking forward to it.

 

Moving, working, and running quick with my NA small tire cars and truck.........

 

Some pictures, ready to go on ol pan print.............

 

Nice !

Specs and guessing on the table ? or does the owner/fellow member prefer privacy...

 

4.185 x 4.250, pump gas, .550 lift on a 108 hyd roller, Johnson lifters, Torquer intake per the customers request, 850 Holley, Mondello's rocker arms 1.6 ratio, Older Edelbrock heads with a 2.125 intake valve, 1.680 exhaust. Moroso pan with some modifications, Mondello oil pump. Eagle crank and Eagle rods. Blueprinted HEI dist, BOP composite gear. Owner wanted to paint the engine himself. We will test it Saturday.

Moved to the bay then, yes? Where's the shop? I'll have to come and visit. With my job, I know Horseshoe Bay well.

 

The shop is in Georgetown.

 

 

515

 

What do you think a engine like this will run in a 3600 pound small tire NA car?


515 crankshaft HP = 122.4 MPH @ 3600 pounds
1320/122.4 MPH = 10.78
?

 

Full dyno sheet please. The same thing you ask from everyone else.
Thank you, really.

 

That's outrageous asking for the full dyno sheet, next you're going to want the weather conditions as well, what's next? You do understand this engine was independently tested on a dyno other than mine "pan print" I like to refer too it, something your very familiar with[img alt="Smile"]images/icons/icon7.gif[/img] then there was no tuning done since there was no O2 sensors due to the customers headers had no provisions. Maybe I should tune it first before supplying the dyno sheets. [img alt="Wink"]images/icons/icon12.gif[/img]

 

A look at a two of the spark plugs....

 

I’m not asking for anything other than what you routinely ask for, so don’t get so defensive. Didn’t you just ask the DX guy for an explanation regarding the correction factor on his dyno sheet from Bill T.?
And seeing as how you’re using the same brand dyno I have, I would think your results would be similar to mine apples to apples right?
Lastly, yeah it’s real tough to put an O2 bung in it. You can buy the clamp on ones from Amazon.
I believe you might be overthinking this.
Just sayin.😉

 

I can't remember seeing any of your dyno tests on "pan print" with as complete data as the ones (dyno sheets) they handed me from their "pan print". If it was my engine it would have had a Performer RPM intake, the customer likes the torquer intake. I think it did just fine so far. I will post the testing conditions for you...............

96 Degrees
82 % humidity
136 grains of water
28.98 Barometer
3900 DA

Care to venture a guess @ the correction factor??

 

Please show me where I said they’re not respectable numbers. I didn’t, so again don’t be so defensive.
I was just asking for the same thing you do, it’s as simple as that.

 

Not defensive at all, your questions are welcomed, and I can never remember you supplying any of the data I've asked for. I was curious as to your opinion on the correction factor. BTW How you and the "Ripper" getting along?

 

Thank you Mark, for all the hard work you put into this motor. Feeling great full that you did it for me and very excited about that beast.

 

I appreciate that especially seeing it took 4 years to complete you have every right to be very upset. Now that aside, you got one hard running street 455!

 

Anyway we had 571 HP and 625 TQ with zero tuning, I feel I could make 600 HP or close too it but I don't think its a good idea pushing the block that far seeing its going in a street cruiser.

 

Sounds great to me. But I am thinking low 11s

 

Phenomenal !

Glad I was so wrong. The owner must be ecstatic.

My guesstimate range was 515-550 but because you said old Edelbrock heads as well as not seeming too pleased with going with the Torquer I went low.

P.S don't know why but I didn't see the last 8 post's prior to my last post. Didn't realize you posted the outcome. 10s for sure now.

 

I figure it would run easy 10.40s in my car @ 3600 pounds. We dyno tested my 360 SBC on that dyno @ 536 HP and it ran 11.1 in my 3970 pound C-10 long bed truck, stock suspension, huge truck brakes, two piece drive shaft.

 

You siad you didn't like the Torker intake? What intake would you have used then if not the Torker?

 

Edelbrock Performer RPM

 

Ok but Holley Sniper 650 doesn't seem to work well with a dual plane! Was thinking to cut down the dual plane like we do with BBc and run a 1" or larger spacer. So running a Torker to fit under the factory ram air hood.

 

My Sniper Quadrajet works good on my old 04B dual plane.

 

Is that good in a stockish style deal or a 550+Hp deal?
