i have just finished building and breaking in a 3.5L

using: 100mm Mahle P&C's (74mm crank)
3.3L euro 930 case
46mm weber IDA's
matched intake manifolds
46/44mm ports
big valves
lots of custom machine work on heads
1 3/4" B&B headers
M&K muffler
twin plugged
electromotive crank fire ignition, w/individual coils and controable advance....


i made 278 (corrected to SAE) rwhp, (~320 crank) and there is at least another 20-25 on the table, that can be had with cam timing (which is presently a stock s-cam, @ stock timing) running a little rich

its hp peaked @ 6100rpm, torque was low ~5500rpm.
to say that it is tractable is an understatement, it pulls from 2000rpm hard to 4000, and from 4000-upper 6000'd better be reaching for the next gear.

as a pure race car u would obviosuly use ALOT more cam, as even i need mroe, basically i'm not using my avaible air flow.....
unbeknownst to me my mech decided to double up on head gasket spacing , making it between 9-10:1cr...i had planned on 12:1 , and with that according to bruce anderson it should be 330hp with stock cam and weber settings....

keep us updated on your build
