5.4 L engined JBL

Ant,

I can't imagine where you got the idea I put a BB in my car? I'm pretty clear in my posts and pictures. Sounds like you want something more streetable. I'm sure you can get close to 500hp from a 331 with AFR heads (in-line valve), and hydraulic roller but you'll kind of be at the edge of the envelope. I think it's a good choice. Also would be more manageable than my beast. The best thing is that it will drop right into a JBL nicely. You could also build a nice 358.

My motor is still asleep. It wants 2 more points of compression, bigger cam, and another 1000 rpm. I'm not sure I want to go there yet but the potential is there.

The larger strokers are not my cup of tea either.

The 4 cam motor would be cool. I like the idea and I know Richard has thought about it. I also know it would have a big impact on chassis design.

I will get back to you via email. John

Duane,

Yes it goes POW when I have adequate fuel pressure. I still need to change to a larger return line. I'm workin my butt off. I've got a May deadline!

Talk soon, John
