Mild 416 Stroker
I just got a call from my machine shop to let me know they have broken in and dyno'ed my mild stroker I had them build. My goal was a nice torquey 400+ hp motor for the street (727 tranny, 3.23 gear) and I think I nailed it right on the head!
Here is the rundown:
1973 340 block- .030 over
360 heads, mildly ported with 2.02 stardard valves (keeping cost of motor down)
416 stroker kit- cast crank and pistons (machine shop dished them a little to get a better compression for pump gas)
LD340 intake
750 Edelbrock carb
Comp CamXE284H Windage tray
stock pan
old set of Comp cam steel roller rockers
420 HP 475 ft lbs torque at 5000 RPM (with a modified set of small block chevy headers needed to get it dyno'ed)
Will idle down to 650.
I am going tomorrow to see it run before they unbolt it from the dyno to bring it home.
