Well, at least it didn't blow up.
We made 610 HP @ 6800, and 544 ft lbs of Tq. @ 5100 rpm.
Found out alot of different things at the dyno session. First of, was that the Biggs carb was absolutely flawlessly RIGHT ON. Didn't even have to jet it. Absolutely perfect.
Got home from the dyno about 6:00 pm, ran down to the shop to pick up the SFI bellhousing and flexplate, ran back home, did some quick measuring, tossed on the flexplate and installed the trans. Then tossed the engine and trans into the car.
Well, other than hooking up the shifter cable, cooler lines, and tossing the radiator in, it's ready to rock.
Not bad for a couple of lazy hours worth of work.
Flame suit is on.
Now tell me why it didn't make the BIG HP.
LACK OF COMPRESSION. SIMPLE AS THAT.
