Magnum shortblock capability.

Pretty much every single thing in that build was spelled out with a good bit of detail.
Victor cnc heads that were massaged. Ross pistons. 3.55 stroke crank. 100 overbore 360 magnum block . 255/265 roller cam 775 lift. Holley W2 intake he welded on to get to fit victor heads( oval to rectangular... lots of labor. 11.66 compression.
Not trying to sell anything guy. You sometimes have a warped sense of reality. Usually late in the evening..... drinking?
Who said anything about 1000 horsepower builds? This build is stock stroke, compression limited.
You have heads that flow 380cfm plus it isnt ulra hard to make good power with them. These Victor heads seem to be very nice

I have watched this closely and was not surprised to see it down on power at the REC, however I WAS surprised that it still made 740ish . No way would I have had the sack to even mentally entertain a Magnum block .100" over even with a fill. Very impressive build, and I'm sure in PB's Duster it would run bottom 8's if his near 600hp runs 9's like he so often reminds us.

Wasn't this thread about Magnum block durability? I'd say a near 800hp build put forth as an example is a pretty good testament. Would it last 7years as PB wants to know? Don't know don't care myself as there isn't any R3's available. How many runs in 7 years anyways? 10-20-50-100-1000? Doubt it's a thousand--even then that's a paltry 250 miles at WOT with full cooldown and maintenance in between. Try your hand at circletrack where one engine can and often do perform for THOUSANDS of laps (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 mile) in a season before a refresh. Always pounding your chest about your 9 sec smallblock duster with Edelbrock heads. Good for you-we get it. J.Rob
