Peanut Port Drag Test

[impstocker]

Great runs. Pretty impressive.

Have you ever done any work with the 366 truck motor? I know it is a high deck block, but we noticed it has smaller Main Journal size 2.50 like a 409 motor.

Does anybody know if this motor listed in the NHRA guide? Probaly not since it only came in dump truck/buses.

HP is this the same engine combo with no changes as last year? Also if you had to make changes would you use a cam with a tighter lobe sep. ? What icl is the present one in at?What if you wanted to make more upper hp but not kill the bottom to increase the back half.Seems like you are running as fast as some alum. head roller cam more comp. engines.How about some thoughts on this.Most builders would cringe at a 114 ls.

It is the same combination as last year, just dialed in now, low 10s. The cam was used to keep the engine as close to what I sell as possible, the cam has great vacuum and works great in a street driver. There is better cam choices when it comes to the track for sure. I feel I've maxed the combo out and its time to move on to my 620 HP oval port combo, I think you will like that cam, 108 LC, peaks @ 6600 RPM, the peanut port peaked @ 5900, although it ran through @ 6900 RPM. Stay tuned....

I think that would depend on the barometer that the 2000 DA happened at.
Example: 2000 DA with a baro of 28.00
2000 DA with a baro of 29.40
Obviously the 2000 DA with the 29.40 baro WILL be faster than a 2000 DA with a 28.00 baro in my opinion. So to answer your question, I would say 10.40s in a 2000 DA.

366 has same main journal size as other BBC don't know of many ever doing anything much with them,had a friend ran them years ago in Super stock 4wd pulling,they had 366'' limit,they made the rules don't guess they thought of anyone building 366'' BBC, he dominated it.
About all we have ever done besides build them back stock, is use the cranks,in 396,427's and use the rods for stock rebuilds.
366 wouldn't be good for any kind of budget build,by the time you had custom pistons made that would be more than the difference in $ of 454/427 block,could build bigger for same or less money.

HP,I like your build.
