Ed just did the last pull on the 403. 516/472 without any tuning for temp, etc. No question in my mind he could make a few tune tweaks to do 521/480 which it was last spring. This build has aways been extremely consistent. Well, now we have a baseline. Onwards and upwards!

Are you offering to give me one??? :)

Awesome project. Can't wait to see how this progresses.

Im watching this as well! i really want a 427 in my Z. After my recent cam install at VA speed i am loud and choppy a year or two of this and ill want a true sleeper.

I will drive it back to you when its done to assist with the break in for gas and beer if you need me to!

Now that I see the new numbers and the old spring numbers, I could clearly see what you mean by motor being tired :willy::willy:

Somebody just wants to put Joe's stump removal service out of business.

The day I hit the lottery Kevin, you got it.

Ed says that if he just let the oil heat up he would have pulled the old numbers.

I think the new build will make a little more. :D

Will there be a pool for what the new numbers will be? :lol: I'll say 585/530.:eek:

:lurk:

You know he wont be happy unless he's 600/600 NA. :crazy:

I really have no idea where we'll end up. This remains a science experiment. I would hope 550/510 but who knows. We'll ALL just have to wait and see.

:lurk: Listening and learning :cheers:

Where did the motor leak?

Intake, exhaust, crankcase?

:willy::willy:

:willy::willy::willy::willy:

At least SOMEONE is thinking realistically here. :leaving:

We'll be cam and intake limited here. We're contemplating several "options" but won't make any changes until we have a complete motor baselined in it's current form.

All in the crankcase. Had several cyl. as high as 30% down.

That answers that question. Thought I might be able to save some unneccesary bottom end work. Let the build proceed! :thumbs:

Well, thanks. :crazy:

Not that you need my permission! lol :o

But it's nice to have your blessing LOL. :lol: :thumbs:

Nice guess. This is not your first rodeo, so you know the dyno can break your heart if numbers are all your concerned about. I would still guess a little higher. I'm thinking at least 520rwtq using that same cam!
