Mine is a HZ block 3.3 red (9 port head). The head is new cast Yella Terra 12 port head, the block was drilled to suit. Street Terra roller rockers, Duralite pistons dished to 8.2:1 compression, Starfire rods, forced ind |

do you think it would put out 250hp to 300hp and how much did it cost to build a engine like that.

The head cut55 has for sale sounds ok. Remember if the head don't flow, the engine won't go!!! So good airflow is important, maybe moreso than high compression. As far as compression goes, I run an 11-1 chev around the street on premiun unleaded and it's

Cool, thanks for the info!! I'll have a look around for a 465 and high flow manifold when i get home! Ive seen a nice orange LX hatchback in Townsville running a 186 with work and a 465 - i was following him in mine (with the 202) and he literally stomp

That sounds alright! I suppose its a case of whichever pops up first! If you could keep an eye out for me that would be good!! The 350 will do alright for now, but im sure it'd go a bit harder with the 4bbl holleys!! If not a CAIN manifold, can you re

I have a new cam going in and it should be capable of 300hp I would say it is at least 250hp now
The engine cost no more than a regular performance 202, except the pistons cost a few dollars more to machine a dish in them. All the stuff that bolts on c |
