Blue Print Hemi

[Big Dee]

I have purchased the complete 426 hemi set-up from Blueprint (engine management, fuel injection and accessories). It's going into a 71 Demon with a 4L80E behind it. The Demon will have the new Hammerfab A-body Street Connection suspension. The car is at my buddies shop, he's the builder for this! Im going to start a thread on the build when he starts the suspension instal.

Thanks Dee... my buddy lives 100 miles from me. I'm gonna swing by his place next weekend to check on his progress/motivate him!

A 340 with a 4" crank is a 416 and can probably keep up with a few engines and probably be cheaper than a new Hemi swap.

This is false. I had a 408 with good aluminum heads, solid roller cam, etc and swapped in the less desirable pre-eagle 5.7 with only a cam and some home porting on the heads. The 5.7 went faster in the 1/4 than the 408. Same car, same weight. I'll repeat, that was a stock early 5.7 with a cam that makes more power than a built 408. If you put the same money it takes to build a stroker small block, you could have an easy 650Hp Gen 3 hemi than runs on pump gas.


I'll go ahead and address the forthcoming comments that say they can build a stroker small block to make 650HP. I'm sure you can, and I doubt you will run pump gas. And The build cost will go up substantially. So that build cost, and your G3 hemi will now make 800HP and still run on pump.
