come to think of it i kind of remember reading on the interweb about a 454 with a set of worked peanut port heads,a rob strob hyd roller cam and a flamethrower ignition making 606 hp at 3700 rpm,the torque was the real story at 766 lbs feet.maybe the op is on to something with the peanut port head.

Mike, I think what we in the US take for granted is the cost of fuel and availability and cost of parts. The OP is from Finland where gas is $8.00/ gallon. If he can make decent power at a lower RPM, he is more efficient. Since BBC parts are so easy for us to find here we are at a uge advantage compared to the rest of the world. I could not find on the interweb anything about a 606/766 hp/tq peanut port BBC but did find a lot of information about 550 hp peanut port bbc.

I think super Chebby magazine did a head comparison and barely got 500 out of heavily ported peanut heads. They are nice heads unless you are a full throttle kind of person. They work good in my 34 Hatteras...

the cam i used was a comp cams k11-445-8 kit it has .510 on intake and exhaust 270/276 and 218/224 duration at 050 lift its a great cam for the peanut portland produces a lot of low end tq.my heads were stock and i believe my engine builder used 2in. headers on the dyno.

add 100hp and then you are close 😉
But, you have none of that. I’d guess you’ll make 390hp in Marine trim. |

mild thunder i gave my dyno sheets to the guy that bought my boat but the motor peaked out at 4700 at 430hp and i believe it was 527 torque at 3200 that was at 32 degrees timing
|
i found an extra copy of the dyno sheet but don't know how to post it on here the motor made 431hp at 4800 and 527tq at 3600
