Did anyone watch Horsepower TV yesterday? (It should be on again today) They built a 306 roller motor with under $3000 in new parts that had 400+ horse power. That's pretty good compared to what building a stroker can cost. Here's the link: http://www.powerblocktv.com/site3/index.php/horsepower-episodes?ep_num=HP2010-01&ep_sea=1001
Can always go w/ satellite tv! Only fault I find w/ sat. is in stormy/snow wx u will sometimes loss the signal. I use to hve cable; I bn w/ "Direct TV" sat abt 10 yrs and like the cust service. I call them and I talk to a person, they get right on the problem and get is resolved. I saw it both days. Nice pwr for most apps. unless ur looking for crazy pwr. For street use it shud work well for most folks. I also like the fact that it makes that pwr on 89 octane fuel - Something to consider in these days of vry unstable fuel cost, esp. for those of us who drive our cars.
I have to wait for it to be uploaded to their online player, I love that show thought! Especially since they built that MN12 Tbird!
The first sentence: " as they take a Ford 302 Big Block and build it up to a 306 cubic inch, 400+ horsepower street-fighter."
Or a happy dyno. Reminds me of another build years ago where a magazine used a completely stock bottom ended 5.0 with a pair of AFR 165s. Supposedly made 400 hp but no one since then has been able to duplicate it using the same parts. At least this motor has some 200 cc intake heads and a fairly aggressive cam.
I watched it today. I also watched in 2010. I also have saved on my DVR from 2010. I like the trick they did with oil lines on top of the block. That was in a previous episode.
Engine masters mag. just did a tech write up on a stock 302 build up. junk yard 302 for $100.00 and a set of pro comp 210cnc heads, something similar to an X cam, a parker funnel web and a 750. it made 399hp and 364tq. not to bad with that big of a carb. it would have made more with a 600. my motor made 410 horse @ 6700, unknown mileage 302 with an x cam and a set of big valve and ported RPM heads, parker funnel and a 600. now im looking at about 330hp with the K code manifold and the stock exhaust manifolds.
that is pretty much the motor i built for my drag car most of the same specs except carb i got a 650 double pumper dont know about 400 hp but its dang close and im running low 12s.12.01 to be exact and very consistent
Cam, Lifters, Valvetrain, Hydraulic Roller Tappet, Advertised Duration 286/286, Lift .598/.598 that seems like a a ton of lift to me...?
