The geologists are about to discover that Pop's 440 was causing the swarm of earthquakes here in Challis, ID. What if the 505 causes a volcano?
 
I thought you farted, Jim.

Very acccurate observation. Pretty darn boring (tedious dullness) up to this point.

We introduced some antifreeze into the closed circuit water system that supplies the absorber for the dyno (BIG MISTAKE) and it foamed in the absorber. Looked like someone put dishwashing detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Thats all cleared out now after flushing the whole system and the dyno is operating as it should again. Could have some results this weekend.
 
This thing really could use a cam, an intake manifold and carburetor. Sorry guys, this isn't for an A-body. It's for a street driven 1st gen Challenger.

440 Source 4.25 stroke, 4.350 bore 505ci
10.4:1 compression, 91 octane
750 Holley
Edelbrock Torker II
RPM heads w/ some tweaking
Comp Cams custom hydraulic roller

The first tq & hp columns are with the engine as above. Second we put on an Edelbrock RPM Performer and third we added a Q950 Quick Fuel

RPM.........(1st TQ.......HP)......(2nd TQ.......HP).......(3rd TQ.......HP)

3000...............521.....298.............538.....307............539.....308

5700...............538.....584.............537.....583............548.....595
5800...............537.....593.............526.....581............535.....590

Average TQ/HP...572/480..................577/483...............586/490

The RPM Performer shifted the torque peak 1000 rpm lower.
 
Is config 3 how the engine will go in the customer's car? Or back to the 750 and torker intake? Regardless, that's still gonna be one movin' E body...or at least shredding tires...

A random question. What would it cost for someone like you to build one of these for a customer?

This one is for a customer. Please understand that these engines are the blink of an eye away from 700 HP. With a camshaft, intake manifold, and carburetor swap and some additional head work, some crazy power is available. With that in mind, a turn key dyno'd engine is in the $14,000 range. Each one is designed and priced on an individual basis.

Unless the customer changes his mind, configuration #1 will be what he gets. The idea was to use as much of the owners original 440 components as possible. The engine came to us with Harland Sharp rockers, a Crane cam, $700 Crane hydraulic rollers, RPM heads and the Torker II and 750 Holley. The combination right now could use a bigger single plane. I'm trying to justify trying the Edelbrock Victor we have laying on the shelf.
 
So we tore the darn thing down and fixed it. Long story I'm not going through tonight. Here it is, still on 91 octane with the Torker II and his 750cfm Holley. Two back-to-back pulls.

RPM............TQ/HP.............TQ/HP
