I think I hold that title - stupidest bannage - makin' fun of guts, gristle, and gore posts in OT - ya' know, tellin' 'em to post pics... And callin' that little fagmoid pansy a jackass and bumpin' it twice to show how wrong he was.

Course that was 3 weeks earlier, and they had to 'use' that to justify their BS.

I committed the ultimate crime of asking a forum sponsor to support their claims before taking people's money. The tougher the questions became, the tougher the moderation...

U did more then that John. The thing with you and Tony is a done issue isn't it? I am sure most are sick of hearing about it. And I was joking about Tony M. joining here. It's highly doubtful as he is a busy man.

OT loves blood and guts, gristle, death, murder, dirty laundry.

My old 421 made 502rwhp and 481rwtq n/a, and 720/790rw on the bottle. My 450 is 2 mph faster and about 2 tenths quicker, but I haven't dynoed it. So maybe it is about 600hp n/a. That seems to be the popular number around here!

Someone who has proof of their claims, how about that!

Sounds like your project is getting close. You'll love the big cubes and torque that 436 will make. Getting everything behind it to survive could be a different story! Was a 383 the last engine you had in your car, or was there something else after the 383? Going from a 383 to a 436 is day/night difference.

Tell us more about the 436, you been holding out on us? First Ive heard!



No winter projects for the Vette. Been sitting collecting dust most this yr and probably will til the 67 can run under its own power which will be real soon. Im afraid once I hear it fire up I will lose interest in the Z all together.
Gotsta go Z06 hunting.

Thanks guys for the kind words. This is a good forum. The 421 had 11.0 compression with a Comp 248/254 about .600/.620 lift solid roller on a 112 lobe sep. I decided to push the pump gas limits a little more on the 450, especially in our thin air (DA 6000-9000 ft). So I bumped it to 11.5 on the 450, but it also has a Crane 252/260 solid roller also on a 112 lobe sep and .660/.660 lift, so the dynamic compression is do able for pump gas, and actually nos also. I mainly just pull 6 degrees out for nos, and it's happy. The heads were AFR 220's on the 421, and LE ported them out for the 450. But to gain 2 tenths and 2 mph running bottom 10's takes some effort, and i am happy. And my car is NHRA legal to 10.00, so I am close to the end. But up here it takes a 9 second car to run 10's and a 10 second car to run 11's, ect. And I really don't want to do everything to make it NHRA legal in the 9's.

Good to see some more familiar names joining up. My winter project is installing 383 shortblock I bought already assembled, slightly used. 230/236 flat tappet hydraulic cam. Going to put the AFR 195 street eliminators on top. Going with Rhodes vari-duration lifters to keep the street manners nice and tame. Re-installing the HSR intake, 2800 converter and such that I already have. I'm hoping to run high 11's on motor and high 10's on a 175 shot. Is that do-able?

Currently run high 12's on motor and ran an 11.43 on a 175 shot with a 224/230 cam on stock bottom end. That is with tons of blowby, which is what prompted my winter project!

Dan,

I think if you're running right, high 11's will be no problem.....loosen up that converter another 500-1000 rpm and mid to low 11's could be realized.

As a note, I ran the next size smaller flat tappet cam on a 350 over a decade ago, I will say, I never really got that motor going strong, I'm not necessarily blaming the cam, but I would consider upgrading to a hyd roller cam, especially considering you already have the new stroker motor out.... would be easy. But regardless, I think easy 11's are in your future.

good luck !
