Pretty soon we'll all be running Peanut Port heads!

365, but we all know those "ratings" from the big three in that era were all over the map.
Really, it's not a race car. I just can't leave anything alone so I started foolng with it and wound up with ported intake, heads and a solid cam.

It was good to go through it as we found a few suspect assembly things we fixed. (Junky//bend oil pump pickup, distributor bushing in the block spun, # 2 cam bearing was gone)

w/ either 2 barrel carbs or tbi,,gotta get that port velocity super super sonic,,ludicrous speed.scotty,I need more speed,,Captain,I've given her all sheee's got,she can't takes anymore.:D

This is a numbers matching engine for a 39,000 original miles car, so the idea was to keep it simple, cost effective and reliable. It's an ice cream cone getter.

I have a nice engine package for the big block chryslers.will see if I can find the paperwork.also did a nice stroker sb chry for my brothers AAR cuda.

Speaking of this, how high do port velocities get? A 2x2 inch port that flows 400cfm would have a velocity of 240 ft/sec. What if with a blower you sped this up to break the sound barrier? Would the engine just sonic "BOOM"?

Ports never go past the speed of sound. But that is variable based on localized density and temperature..

Might sound something like this?

Not if you lined the ports with sound deadener.

The port velocity won't break the sound barrier.

You just need to up the boost to something like 4000% overdriven, This can be accomplished by adding a 63 speed overdrive transmission to the blower.
