Can you tell us what goodies you have inside the engine. Heads, cam, compression ratio... :D

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Jeff knows more than me... hopefully he'll chime in when he comes back from the FT laud races.

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

No doubt in my mind that you should crack 80mph with the right prop... :D
You may want to figure out a way to sit rather than standing at that speed... :eek:
Good Luck Storm!
Hope to see you out there this Summer... :drink:

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Finally ready for the water test tonight.
Gonna try to dial in a labbed 26 B1.
UH, Can i leave my office yet??? :evilb: :D :evilb: :D :drink:

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Congrats! I bet you are going to need more than 26P. I'm turning a 28P to almost 5K with only 425HP.

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Hey Dave,
Storm is shooting for 5700rpm... :eek:
If he gets there with a 26p... 81-82mph :evilb:

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

That labbed 26 was a pc o'sh*te. It was labbed w/ a hammer.
Could barely get past 5100rpm. Probably need to run a 24P.

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Congrats on the #'s

Which 454 did it start out being,HP?


Rob :D

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Hey Storm,
Test with stock props. It will give you much better info to work from. :cool:
Labbing a prop is for a specific application and they still don't always work... :rolleyes:

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Yea pat, i know... i thought there was also going to be a 24 and 26 to test yesterday.

Rob, it started out being a 1989 markIV 454mag 365 w/ water damage.
It was in sad shape. Looks much better now.

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Can you tell us what goodies you have inside the engine to get those good dyno numbers.
Heads, cam, compression ratio...

Re: 454 rebuild complete

Dart iron eagle 308s,9.4 to 1 comp.600 lift, 248,252 @ .050 dual plane manifold and 850 Holley.

Re: 454 rebuild complete

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

You need a set of Stainless Marine Hi-Torques.

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Got'em!!! :D :D

Re: 454 rebuild complete
 

Rough idea of cost per engine and how long it took? Any warranty?

I'm curious because I had two engine damaged by reversion and ended up giving them away. Wondering how bad a decision that was.
