Default 3250 small block horsepower!

:lolg: OK, so it takes 5 of them to make that much, but these are fairly small. Only 355ci at 650hp.



Fresh off the dyno waiting to be picked up.



Final assembly. Getting ready to go on the dyno.

It has been a very busy week, with no end in sight.

I too would love to spend some time in his shop he is one of the most knowledgeable on the forum. I have bothered him on more than one occasion with a question or two.

It is good to see you are busy, means you are doing well and also the great hot rod hobby is alive and well :D

lostpatrolman: You don't even have to ask nicely to get one. You just have to have a check in your hand. :lolg:

Norval: Thanks, From you that means alot.

Motorhead: Busy doesn't even begin to describe it. I have had to work late every night last week to get all those dynoed and I have that many to do again next week.

Grandsport C3: The compression is between 14.5 and 15.0 on our top of line 23 degree motors.

Prowler: These are fairly small spec motors, meanig we have to run no more than 362ci and use a Brodix Track 1 head with very little porting. We make a 391 ci open motor that makes mid 850hp and mid 650tq and revs so fast that you don't need a hair dryer to be more than you can handle. :thumbs:


Pete
