355ci of well...ummm....lets just say 355ci and leave it at that;)

400 + .030 = 406ci

454 + .030 = 461

400 + .060 + 3.48 stroke = 383 destroked

400 +.030=406

a very underpowered .060 over 327. someone please help me with suggestions....larry

My Chevelle has a knarly 468 big block and my El Camino has a sleeper 383.

Both are very cool I think. The big block is loud and obnoxious with the 3" exhaust and Super-40 Flowmasters. The 383 is an iron fist in a velvet glove with killer aluminum heads and a mild hydraulic roller cam.

The C-10 is not on the road yet, but it will have a very cool 463 big block with all the trimmings and 3" 3-chamber Flowmasters!:beers:

498 incher. Stroked 454 70 over, water jackets intact.725hp on the dyno with stone age manifold and single 850 carb! Will be updating and adding some ponies there. TSI powerglide w 5800 stall coan, and brake........Gets kinda hairy on the street.:eek:


HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL

Get the specs and rebuild it L-79 style. You won't be disappointed.

Mine is a stroked small block 391 ci.

Just a small 358c.i. Nothing fancy.:)

nice chassis jig. here is how we build most of ours. it's not a Nova...or even a Chevy , but it is one badass Challenger once you see what we actually started with and what it looks like 6 months after we started.

Does size REALLY matter?:thumbsup:

size matters some but what matters the most is usable horsepower and alotta torque with a curve as flat a Nebraska afternoon.

Ask a lady about size mattering...:D As far as us gearheads cubic inch is where it's at baby.:yes:

Jay!

Nice Challenger!:thumbsup:

Obviously, you're setting it up for drags! Is the rear of your own design or are you using a kit? What are you going to do with the front suspension? What's it going to run for motor/tranny?

that Scotty... always short changin' me on POWER... i MUST HAVE MOOOOORE !!!


;) Good Luck !!! ;)

Well next year we(my engine builder and myself) R going to change over to some 18* head's and see if we can hit 1000hp. But that is just me hoping for that kind of number's. We will be incresing cubic inches to 434 or 454 and little more comp. Some where around 14 to 1. With the head's being highly ported and polished. This all coming from an sbc motor. :P)

For the 6 guys out there who're running sixes in your Nova's (and the one who's running a 4), don't think you don't have a "sleeper" in .....er, sheep's clothing.
You can build those things to make some decent power (granted, its easier and cheaper to do it with an SBC), and you've also got one of the most reliable powerplants in history under your hood.
Like someone just told me the other day, "you just can't kill a six".
And in this day of $4/gallon gas, would you rather your car get 10 gallons to the mile, or 20 miles to the gallon.

Don't hate a six for being a six. It's a good thing, too.

...and since we're showing pics, this isn't mine, but here's a 230 with dual carbs and an interesting paint job. I like it.
