1965 Valiant 200
Long overdue update:
There were some changes along the way with the plan for the engine. In the end, I decided to go with RPM heads and intake. The first set of heads that made their way to the machine shop were not machined correctly, and were basically scrapped something was machined too deep, I don't remember exactly what because it's been months. The replacement heads were 6-9 weeks backordered so there was a lot of waiting. Finally, good heads came in and the machine shop was able to complete the build and complete the dyno.
404 hp @ 5300rpm
430 tq @ 4500rpm
over 400 tq from 3300-5300rpm
Stock bottom end 2000 5.9 Magnum
Final compression 9.4:1
Edelbrock heads and intake
Comp Cams 20-746-9
Dur. @ 0.050 216/224
Lift .506/.506
Sep. 114
Hope to continue putting this together in the coming months. Need a few odds and ends now(flexplate bolts, WP bolts, plug wires, exhaust bolts, serp belt, etc) Then, see what adjustments I'll have to make to fit the manifolds that I'm using(referenced in previous post in this thread).
Will still need to complete the Fitech and radiator install, along with a few more electrical circuits to complete.
