706 Hp

[Manowar]

To those who think some of our builds are a little conservative, we offer evidence of our on-going efforts to dispel that notion. The Man O’War Hardcore 427 Drag Man O’War small block.
Pictures speak louder than words (But NOT louder than this motor!)

Now 706 HP should produce ¼ mile times conservatively in the low 10 range in the right, light vehicle and traps in the 137 MPH range. A/F ratios and BSFC figures are excellent.
Here’s a brief description of this combination: Man O’War iron 9.5 deck block, with 13.5:1 using C-14 race gas, forged and balanced Eagle and Mahle internals, Hardcore spec solid roller, and the really significant items, new Man O’War 235cc, 18 degree heads. We pulled out some stops to see what they’d really produce. We hand-ported them in-house the good old fashioned way-slight tootsie roll in chamber and ports, gasket and manifold match and our killer valve job. Speaking of manifolds, due to selling out our batch of Man O’War single plane intakes, we temporarily reverted to the Super Victor with 4500 adapter. We anticipate a little more power very soon when our manifold arrives.
Remember, we’ve put LS style ports in Ford architecture. Seems to work OK…

Now we know that this is not the prime choice for all GT and Cobra enthusiasts but we also know that many of us have other Ford-based hobby and track cars. All the build and pricing details can be found on The Engine Shop site in my sig for those with interest.
