Cobra Ed,
The car produced 388 rear wheel horsepower on Sal's Dyno.Torque came in at 3000 rpm. 425 ft lb. That is too much.The engine was built by Tony Carey here on Long Island who is an excellent builder. Problem is the engine idled at 1300 rpm and was not easy to drive for me. To make a long story short. I had some other work done and the cam changed by Joe Lapine n Danbury CT who is also an excellent builder because Tony has no real space to work. Joe put in a cam profile that was pretty close to the original and I think it is great/ .524 valve lift/ 324 adv deg duration/ 245 dur @50deg. Cam is a flat tappet as was the old one. 114deg.cl. Yes much milder. Driveability: Much better. Low end torque: "like a freight train"! AND IT IDLES @ 850rpm. O.K. the car does not shake anymore but the 427bb sound is still there!
Running Scat crank stroked to 468 cu. in. Holley 830 cfm nascar carb. Joe said if I cut it back to a 750 it might even be better. Joe told me I probably have around 450-460 engine horsepower.
Regards,
Mike
