Finally Had some good weather. Got the 401 painted up and assembled.
I got it mated yesterday before I called it quits before sundown.
Feel free to chime in. I have a lot invested here
From what I understand on a new engine you prime the pump with old dizzy.
Use oil with zinc.
Just to be safe add octane boost to the tank of regular unleaded because it's 9.5:1 ratio.
Run 20 minutes between 2,000-3,500 RPM
Drain oil and replace filter.
Drive up some steep grades. In the few thousand miles to set rings (TRUE?)
When can I go do a dyno pull?
Or do you think I met my goal of 400HP 450ft/lbs?
MSD coil, dizzy, and wires
Edelbrock Performer intake
670cfm Holley TA ( do I need more carb?
.30 over
9.5:1 plugs
5-angle valve job porting too
Crower stage 2/3 cam
INT/EXH - Dur @ .050" Lift: 212°/220° RR: 1.6/1.6 Gross Lift: .464"/.488" LSA: 112° RPM: 1500 to 4500 Redline: 5000
I've been asking around a few other threads and the only answer I got was 350HP
What else could I do to have a street able 400HP?
