The cool part of this motor is the torque curve (or lack thereof); it’s relatively flat from 3k through 6k, staying north of 500+ ft lbs.

I still have some detail work ahead before installation (change disty cap, spark plug wires need to be cut to the proper length, touch-up oil pan, replace oil adapter, mount the factory style fuel filter, etc.). I'll start another thread when I get the ball rolling.


Post a vid! I can't belive the torque that it made! Sure thought that it would make closer to 600 hp. What gears and tire size are you thinking? What trans?

Dyno sheet?
