For what it's worth, I ran a '68 Fury III 4 door hardtop at the track. Police package. Low mileage, stock 383 commando, auto, and the gears were maybe 3.23's?? Factory dual exhaust, factory HP manifolds. Car weighed just over 4100 lbs without me, no spare. It ran lower 15's... 15.2's I think???? But I can't connect any dots from a 383 commando in a Fury to a RV440 in a D150. I think a fairer comparison would be to find what a D150 with a 440 ran in the 1/4 mile, means they came with them. Even a D200 2WD with a 440 would get you a lot closer. Then a person could try and figure the x-factors such as headers, little more converter, and such.

You would think there would be published times for factory Warlock 440's.

What's the time for a 360 LRE?

That's at least a starting point.

There is just about a 4 second discrepancy between the top and bottom. 4 seconds is a LOT in a 1/4. It's what makes it fun.... shows we don't have a clue. When I'm done, we'll know.

That's at least a starting point.

LRE were high 14's, but that was a factory HP 360 engine. I can't even draw a line from that comparison, a HP 360 vs RV440.

 

[Elmo65]

That link is not working. You can just type it in Google and find one.

 

[RustyRatRod]

lest you forget: baby stall & and an intake. carb is negligible i suppose.

13.99 here we come!

The head mill the headers, new valve springs and a good tuner and driver.

 

[318willrun]

speedwaymotors.com has a quarter mile calculator.

Wallace calculators say .... well what do they say?? I got to have a HP rating that's accurate to plug in the weight and have it spit out an ET. And no calculator factors in a pickup (or van), and it does make a difference at the big end

to be fair, though, the head mill was just getting back the same amount I lost on the head gasket thickness.

They were still rated at 8.5 and blueprinted lower. So there's your line.

Also regarding the 70 Fury comparison, curb weight for those was from 3700-4200. The truck could be lighter. Those trucks were pretty light for full sized trucks.

muh huh. ok. lol

 

[318willrun]

muh huh. ok. lol

I actually measured, to be honest lol

With headers intake carburetor and new springs plus your good tune I wouldn't be afraid to use 325HP for the calculator.

yeah yeah. sure sure.

Yeah, everything down to the size of the gas pedal makes a difference.

I could go with that, 325 gross. That would be a reasonable guess.

That's all I ever speak in is gross numbers. You don't really know where net is, because you don't really know exactly how they figured it.

Little Red Express had 225 net hp, the warlock 440 had 195 net hp according to google

Yeah they're fulla crap. I know someone who had a collection of Warlocks, Lil Reds and all the rest from the 70s. The Warlocks with the 440s would melt the rear tires. Easily.

Well, I'm gonna push mine to the max I can, obviously. Whatever is in it, I plan on squezz'n it out. 15.9, or 13.9, here we come!

I know you will, but make sure to give it a good loose ignition curve.

I’m starting to trust the clocks at your track less and less.

you need a new source of info. I went 15.9's with a stone stock 318 2bbl in a B-body with only dual exhaust added. 904 and I believe 2.94 gears.
