Cheepy Three-Sixty build

I love this build nothing extravagant and yet fantastic numbers. I cant wait to see those 1.6 rollers they have to be good for 5-15hp. Your going to get your goal of 400hp with a little more tuning. Using those pistons you have off the shelf surprised me. My guess KB107 or H116CP would have got you there and possibly more. AWESOME JOB!!!!!

You're right this build is nothing extravagant and the 3 most expensive components were the intake manifold, valve springs, pushrods, and soon to be roller rockers if they help power at all. The "personality" of the engine is just what I was after with an idle vacuum of 13.5" @ 750-800rpm, 91 pumpgas compatibility (180psi crank comp), ZERO leaks, starts instantly/shuts off instantly, etc... Simulating a highway cruise @1800 rpm 65-70 hp and it was generating 200 ft/lbs uncorrected @ a very low throttle opening, which is more than enough. I'm pretty happy with it so far but I'm doubtful I could reach an honest 400hp with a belt driven waterpump as well. Thanks for the compliment however I wouldn't rank this as an awesome job but it sure was/is a fun one. J.Rob
