Sounds like a very stout combo. I'd guess 550+ HP.

 

[aengineguy]

Thanks darndart! kindof what I figuring....

Should be a beast. I'd guess about 525 hp with ample torque to make you grin ear to ear :supz:
:burnout::burnout:

x2...i bet around 520-530 horse power...about 515 ft lbs...

I think it will do better than 525 HP based on having higher comp, more cam, solid lifters than my 500 HP 416 stroker. That 3500 stall converter should launch with those 4.10s. Bet it runs way low 7 sec 1/8s if it launches like it should.

Keep us posted.

I'm wondering about the standard oil pump vs the high volume. If you've done some of Steves (Guitar Jones) oiling mods and went with a larger pickup and tube I would want the security of higher volumn oil flow. Just my 2 cents. Dan
