Not Ranked
Forget all the articles, dyno software and half the advice and listen to this.
Two friends of mine just had engines built. Both wanted to run on the track and wanted them to be 500+ engines that were reliable and would not blow up. One guy was on his 4th engine!
They went to Hoffman Machine in South Plainfield, NJ. Dennis Hoffman built them basically the same, with minor variation. It went something like this:
351W Dart block stroked to 408. this has a Cleveland lower 4 bolt mains and looks like an indestructible block.
Forged Crank, hrods and pistons.
AFR 205 heads
One had the Torker II intake and AED carb, don't know the other but believe it is an 850 Holley.
Roller cam and rockers
One had a more radical cam than the other, both by Comp Cams.
OK the engines were put on the engine dyno and one recorded 615 hp and the other 570hp.
That's all I have to say,
Roscoe
