Re: 350 - 270 Combo Horsepower
NJK53, I think Jim said it earlier (I agree) that you would need to get 400 plus out of the 350/270 to be competitive. Probably put you in the upper/middle of the pack if everything else is right.

Re: 350 - 270 Combo Horsepower
I managed to make 360 horsepower at the flywheel(mathematically derived, not actually dyno horsepower), with a 68 327/250 horse engine. That one has only 8.5 to 1 compression,has small valve heads, and has a shorter stroke. The 350 should make a lot more torque, has way better ports and valve sizes, and it should be good for over 400 horsepower if it's a good one. The size and weight of a wagon is the biggest thing that has to overcome. It's been done. If the big block is really your preference, Herman Chapman had a 402 Chevelle wagon in Super Stock(no manifold restriction,open season on camshaft selection), maybe that would be an option.

K/SA is a great class! Had a 1.45 last time out so we are inching closer to the 6.99 goal

Re: 350 - 270 Combo Horsepower
400 hp is only 1.15 hp/in3 for a 350, so it should easily make 400 hp.
A good one should make north of 450 hp. |
