340 Build

Hi I would like some help with a motor Ive just done with the help of Dave Hughs, I bulit! its a 340 bored 40 over, Icon pistons,hastings rings, 10-1 compression,63cc Edlebrock Alum rpm heads 202 & 1.6, cam is 586 ex and 584 in , 1.6 Hughes alum rockers, hughes pushrods, 750 Holley track warrior carb, pro billit msd dist, Msd 6al box, Msd wires and champion plugs, Hooker pro comp long tube headers with flow masters ,Edelbrock air gap intake. timing is at 34 degrees total, Everything is as suggested by Dave and ordered through him.
This set up is not that impressive. I thought it would have more power, according to Dave it shoud run 11s in the quarter, I dont think it will! its in a 66 Valiant with a 433 4 speed and 373 gear with 28" tire. Does anything look out of place here? Thank you in advance.


This is where NOT spending $500 or whatever on your $10K + build to dyno it is suddenly worth every penny. How high does it "want" to rev? Oh wait the dyno would tell you exactly what your powerband is. A good operator could tell you what to expect in the car too.

I bet that engine with I'm assuming are unported Edelbrock heads isn't making much over 400-420HP which will be fun but not near enough with out a perfect chassis and driveline for 11's. I bet you have a mid 12 ride as it sits. Let us know what you find. J.Rob
