Baddest pump gas NA small block?

[Uncle Dave]

Its quite similar in characteristics to what Mustang posted. Its really pretty mild.

Starts at about 2500 and is all over with at 6K.


400 GM iron block I had side bolted punched out a bit to clean it. Generic Steel crank, regular 5.7 rods
forged Ross Pistons with zero gap secondary rings
Brodix track 1 heads -2.08's, some hand porting (would be better to put it on a cnc machine)
edelbrock single plane manifold (would probably run better with an air gap)
demon 750/850 carb
msd ignition
engel custom hydraulic roller, with shortened overlap. (Ill dig up specs)
Imco powerflow manifolds

Dick Gazan picked and put the combo together. The guy on the right of the freedom machine. Cool old guy died a while ago it was a pleasure to know him. Alexi from boostpower tuned it and pulled the secondary water pump off and put a crossover in for me.

I built the long block for 7500 bucks spend a few grand on the exhaust oil coolers valve covers etc..to keep it happy and alive- then beat it mercilessly from 98 to 2010 then refreshed it and tuned it back up.

Dick called it a 500/500 motor - Makes just under 500 hp/ and just over 500 lb ft with a curve as flat as kansas.

I could be really cool If I pulled it all apart and made everything shiny and polished.

I spent money one the steering- Its got an ITS and full hydraulic - turns like a slot car.
