Guy/shop that did my current motor hopes to get his car out next week with new power plant. Was talking to him today about mine, needed some bearing part numbers.
Anyhow 66 Coronet wagon, 3400 with him in it.
904, 4800 convertor.
440 inch motor, big bore ( 4.100)the 4.18 stroke crank from Molnar. Wiseco domes, 14 to 1 compression. 276-282 roller 740 lift
Trick flows with 2.06 intakes, he did additional porting on them, said they go 315.
He ported a super Victor for it, has 1 3/4 headman headers.
Jack said it made 660 on the dyno……:popcorn:
Hopes it will run 9.80 ish.
If it does, will easily be the best running trick flow combo I am aware of.
Hopes to test it up at Mid Michigan motorplex next weekend.

moroso slide ruler predicts 9.90 @ 135 mph at 3400 lbs. don't know how accurate it is but it should be close.
 
He sent me a video of it running via messenger but I can’t get it to show up on my photo library so I can post it. Even had the wife try to figure it out, she couldn’t get it to show up either.
Thing sounds ultra rowdy
 
You’ll have to upload it to YouTube, and then copy and paste it here.

Sounds mean!!

Be interesting to see how the on track performance compares to the dyno results.

Exactly what I said to him. If it gets in the 9’s he did a heck of a job.
He spent 8 hours on the super Victor, and the combo sounds very good to me. Not in love with a 1 3/4 header on that combo, but don’t know how much that will hurt. Think he had those on the stock stroke 360 with eddies he used to run, that one was 14 to 1 too.
 
I’m confident bigger headers would have pumped up the HP numbers on the dyno, but maybe not enough to have a large impact on the ET.

You remember how much bigger better headers impacted mine, but it might have been more total combo related than just the tubes

I know a lot of folks love small tubes over on Speed-talk, but larger cube/higher HP stuff has responded to bigger(appropriately sized as opposed to too small) tubes in my testing.

On a 440” build making 1.5hp/ci, I’d expect an 1-3/4” header to peak fairly early, especially if it had a 3” collector.
 
Looking forward to the results, definitely peeked out the trick flows.
 
They must of open the port openings fairly big to get a 1.39 lbs-ft per cid 440 to peak 6300 rpms.
 
I took the posts as saying it made 610tq, and made a peak of 660hp@6300.

No mention of where peak tq occurred.

I’d like seeing what the hp curve looked like up beyond 6300.

To me ?

I didn't see him mention peak tq rpm either.

I didn’t mention it because I didn’t ask him. Forgot.
Max power at 6300, max torque 610, but don’t know the rpm that was at
Most of our conversation revolved around that stupid timing chain tensioner. He doesn’t use them, so it must have been installed on that short block, and unfortunately he didn’t get rid of it, when I had him go through it. Been a long while since I bought it, kinda forgot of it was on there or not

Bet torque flat enough to peak a good chunk of 4300-5300 rpm.
