Too much horsepower?

The heads are 2.08 valve W5's that peak flow 325 @ .700 and the lower lift numbers are really good too. The cam is a crane roller 276/.727 and 283/.727, net lift at the valve is .698/.717. You can see how much the pushrod angle affects the actual lift on the intake as both lobes measured the same.

I know it's just a sim and they may be generous but when they made 650 HP with that cam in a SS 340 it makes me think. Iron heads, stock size valves, and single thermoquad on that motor plus I have another 44 cubic inches so it makes me wonder. I've got a good bit of money invested in this block now, it's been bored and honed with a plate, tall filled with hardblock and a Hughes main girdle on it. I never really dreamed it would make 700 HP, which may be closer but I have to think now that it will do better than that.

I'd love to put it on a dyno but I don't know if I can swing it right now. Work is slow and my funds are drying up faster than the water in a Japanese nuclear reactor.

It will go together and make some passes so we'll see what happens.

MPH will give you all the info you need as to how much HP the engine makes!
