What kind of hp and tq numbers can I expect from this build.

 

Anyone know what kind of horse power and torque this motor build should make!!

 

My guess is 350 to 380 hp.

 

Anyone one else have an idea of what sort of power this motor will make...
Thanks

 

yea, 360-390 range is a pretty safe assumption.

 

Yep

 

there are so many factors, such as head work, cam choice, compression, etc. I don't know what the other engine had as far as tricks, but a 440 running 11:1 compression, all other components relatively equal, is going to put out a gob more power than one running 9.7:1. just for instance.

 

1) That's a small cam.
2) It's all in the heads.
3) Bottom end is probably fine, but pop-top pistons would increase your compression.

You could easily push that to 500 hp, depends on what you want to do with it- street, strip, street/strip, pump gas etc.
