Default Genesis Aluminum block dynoed and will be for sale

We dynoed the Genesis aluminum block today and every thing went great. The engine consisted of a Scat cast steel 4.250 stroke crank, scat 4340 H-beam rods 6.700 long, JE 10.7 to 1 pistons, hydraulic roller camshaft, Armondo oil pan, stock front cover, ATI damper, Dove heads with our stage 2 porting [324int, 250exhflow], T&D roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and DaVinci 950 carburetor. We used a MSD distributor and our custom 8mm wires that are shielded.
The engine idled at 800rpm's, made 675HP at 6200RPM's and pulled to 6500 no problem. The torque was 650fl/bls @ 4800RPM's and over 500ft/lbs by 2300RPM's.
We pressure checked the block and heads prior to assembly up to 35PSI with no leaks. The engine held 60psi oil pressure idling and 85psi by 4000RPM's. This engine will be on display at the PRI show in Indianapolis, IN.
The engine will be for sale not long after that and would make some one a great piece. The price on the engine will be 17,500.00 and will iclude the DaVinci carburetor, MSD distributor and wires, Edelbrock water pump, Ford Racing aluminum Cobra Le Mans valve covers or something similiar with a Power Master starter. You can,t beat that kind of horse power for that kind of money. We will also be happy to build something to suite your needs. Thanks Keith Craft
