Yep, his engine is probably the only reason I went with a 470 myself.I was just reading through your build on your website about the 470 that made 780hp. Amazing

Grab your popcorn.......
Okay I understand, wow that's a big swing in numbers, thanks for sharing that.I’m talking STP corrected numbers.
Let’s just say not all dynos give out the same results(if some want to disagree with that point of view, that’s fine……… but we don’t need to take this thread down that rabbit hole)
I’ve had one of my own engines on 2 different SF-901’s……. Which showed a 65hp difference between them.
You know exactly what he means, true means no BS inflated #'s.What do you mean by "true"
Well, I asked him what I asked because, observed HP numbers are most of the time lower than corrected. I wasn't sure what he meant.You know exactly what he means, true means no BS inflated #'s.
Some call it "true" hp, I call it " honest" hp.
on the Dyno next time I'm looking to see 700 on observed,
Your engine will bust the 700hp barrier, there's no way it can't, the combo is there.Will turn it into a pretzel. lol700 HP does to a stock OEM body
Hard to imagine it wouldn’t.Your engine will bust the 700hp barrier, there's no way it can't, the combo is there.
Like most, ask a question then vanish.Wonder where the OP went.
I could be wrong but how I read it was he was doubting that the guy he knows has a 700 HP 440.Wonder where the OP went.
True. It will be loud and needs to be kept in excellent tune or else it becomes a real pain to keep running. EFI can help, but then the person needs to understand enough about EFI to keep it running.Even built as a 505, I think one that made a true 700hp would end up being rowdier than what many people envision them as being like.
I don't think it would hurt a stock block filled to the top of the freeze plugs. You'd have to have a really good cooling system. I'm betting it would work.If and when the new 440 source block with the first four cross bolted caps comes out, then no problem making 700 plus hp with ported B1 original heads reliably. But, I can think of a lot of ways to do it it for a lot less outlay, too!
I've been studying up on this recently because I'm hard blocking mine. Not from personal experience but I've read that the coolant spends less time in the block which will keep it cooler, but it will definitely increase oil temps on a wet sump oil system.I don't think it would hurt a stock block filled to the top of the freeze plugs.

Either dry sump or add a good oil cooler. But I'm unsure the oil temps would be affected much as long as the cooling system kept the engine temp down.I've been studying up on this recently because I'm hard blocking mine.

This is the reason why I've started building a dry sump pan and gathering parts to run dry sump in my pos dart.
I think it's that you're adding basically a heat sink since coolant can't get further down the cylinders but yeah you're correct....cooling system must work well.Either dry sump or add a good oil cooler. But I'm unsure the oil temps would be affected much as long as the cooling system kept the engine temp down.
Is your car going to be a track only car or do you plan to drive it on the street also?I think it's that you're adding basically a heat sink since coolant can't get further down the cylinders but yeah you're correct....cooling system must work well.
Maybe. Remember though Heat sinks can work both ways. They can also stabilize the temp too.I think it's that you're adding basically a heat sink since coolant can't get further down the cylinders but yeah you're correct....cooling system must work well.
I'm sure Tim has several tests in his archives regarding oil temps with or without a fill and with regular oil vs Torco oil.Either dry sump or add a good oil cooler. But I'm unsure the oil temps would be affected much as long as the cooling system kept the engine temp down.
