RE: E475 mel

The engine put out 345 HP at 4600 RPM, and 475 lbs of torque at 2900 RPM Compression was 10 1/2 to 1. Frend of mine had one in a 58 Ranchero that he pulled his 63 406 Galxie and trailer with. Ranchero towed at 65 mph like the trailer was empty.
I stock form it is a really good torque engine, but there is very little to hot rod it. (I did at one time have a 4x2 intake manifold for a 410. that not a mistake, it took 4, 2 barrel 3 bolt carbs.)
Good points, It's a really good engine, bad points, it is heavy, and not built for high RPM.
If you want more info talk to the guys a Y-Block http://disc.server.com/Indices/5173.html
