Engines are back from the shop. Good job RMBUILDER on the cams. These numbers are with as cast iron oval port merlin heads. We cahnged valves to inconel and springs to comp, otherwise these engines are with out of the box, as cast parts.

only about 9.3:1 comp. 750 carbs and dual plane intakes. 496CI.

428,431 HP at 5300
480, 485 lbs at 4400

Huge torque curve between 3000 and 4000

I really should be putting these in my sea ray with those numbers, but I wan't to see how these little engines will make this boat run.

Looks like maximum fuel consumption is around 30gals an hour at WOT.

Good job to Owens racing for perfectly matching machine work to get the numbers to almost match.

They are getting dressed and ready to install again. Hopefully this week.

Here is one sheet and a comparison against the old cams I had in there.
