Something for you 289 guys....B2 Motorsports 331/347

[blykins]

I've been contacted several times about doing a SBF that would appear period correct for the Cobra guys with 289/289 FIA cars.

We can do this several ways:

1. Use a 289 block, use a 302 crank or a 331 crank.
2. Use a 302 block, use a 331 or 347 crank.
3. Use a Dart 302 block, use a 331 or 347 crank.

For the most practical (and cost effective) way of attaining this, we'll concentrate on #2. Since it's the inside that counts, it would be hard to throw open the hood and know that it's really not a stock stroke 289 or 302 in there anyway.

If you're set on authenticity, then we can certainly find a 289 block to use as a foundation. If you're set on cubic inches and horsepower/torque, then a Dart block would fill the needs there.

Again, concentrating on #2....

This would be the same combo as our normal 331/347 engines, but we would use the RHS iron heads, a Blue Thunder intake, an air cleaner with 289 decals, and offer the customer their choice of valve covers. I can work with the customer in determining what level of appearance they want to achieve.

Brainstorming for a future road race project, so bear with me.......

With a static compression below 10:1 (9:5:1 or 9:8:1) and a simple 600cfm Holley double pumper (04776C as an example), what would be your basic HP projections? Also, would the price below include dyno tuning of the carb to the motor and a proper road race oil pan?


Thanks,

Bill S.

Bill, with a 347, <10:1 SCR, and a 600 carb, 425-450hp shouldn't be an issue depending on what camshaft we stabbed in the engine. For a road race car, are you thinking something a little wilder on the cam side?

Yes, the price would include dyno testing/carb tuning, and a Canton/Moroso road race pan.

Thanks for all the inquiries...YES this combination is still available at this price. I can turn this around in about 4 weeks....and even deliver to your car's manufacturer for installation.
