426 stroker, is it reliable?

Didn't miss any point. Over 500ft-lbs from 2800 - 3600 rpm, then it doesn't drop below 500 ft-lbs all the way through 6800. No need for a 4500 stall. 3K would do it. 3400 car, 3.91's, 3000 stall, you have a low 10 ride.


They used KB pistons, around 10.6cr IIRC. Iron heads more then doable for pump gas.

I'm sorry, what? Is this the engine to which you refer? Horsepower on the left, torque on the right. Because 500 lb-ft @ 6,800 rpm is 647 HP.
