it does not add up. That would mean he had a compression height of over 2-1/4 inches. This makes for a piston that would weigh over 900 grams when they would have been made from the material that was around then. At 353 cubic inches, he would have to have been making close to two horsepower per cubic inch. Since a Tunnel Port was "only" 620 horses in peak Nascar form at 427 size meaning he was producing an output that was never matched by Robert Yates, Waddel Wilson, Joe Rumph, Jack Sullivan, and the rest of the H/M crew. I dont like to call names, but it was not possible, and somebody is playing Pinochio. Also, the aerodynamics involved, and gearing, and the tires of the day are against it. I was working on a factory acid dipped Pro Stock Hemi-Cuda race car that was a state of the art National event winner then, and with two Chuck Nuyten 1050 Dominators and a Racer Brown roller with the D-5 twin plug heads, (they were not worth any improvement) and crank trigger ignition, turning 9,400 RPM's, it was able to go 9.40's and had over 700 horsepower at 3,200 pounds. Sorry if you take offense, I dont mean any by any means, and people here will vouch for that. If you have this engine, what are you gonna do with it? I've run de-strokers like that for years, mostly 427 blocks, and 600 horsepower is achievable with todays cam grinds. Can you post pics of it?
This thread, so far...
