What do you think about this statement.........
Short Block is all I agree with.
The efi system is not that great.
The camshaft is weak weeny
The cylinder heads don't flow worth a crap and can't be ported to support real HP 550 or greater.
Chamber design okay, chamber actually junk they all crack between the seats.
They are untunable without someone else building a tune for you.
If you wanted to do a real cam swap there is 1 or 2 very expensive options for adjustable rockers.
I mean @ Brooks James posted this in the racers forum and he's talking about stock slow stuff.
There's a magnum/ small block spot just for a thread.
I believe the question I was answering was,
“What part of the magnum was superior stock???”
“The efi system is not that great.”
Somewhat true but, you get a block that has good cylinders
“The camshaft is weak weeny”
True, but did most LA come stock with much better, and provisions in the M block make roller lifters easier come cam swap time, you know you’re gonna swap cams anyway.
“The cylinder heads don't flow worth a crap and can't be ported to support real HP 550 or greater.”
Which are we talking about stock or not, I forget, but the statement did say stock.
“Chamber design okay, chamber actually junk they all crack between the seats.”
True,
“They are untunable without someone else building a tune for you.”
True, because of the EFI I suppose, but you did say stock, so I would say that there are more EFI engines running pretty good with 100K+. Back in the day someone was some kind of god if they had a car with over 100K, and they certainly didn’t have cylinders with hone marks if they did.
