It's not that unusual. The famed bf109 had a cannon that sat ontop of the inverted v12 crankcase and fired through the propeller reduction hub

How did this get from stock muscle car motors to a bunch of built Motors that still fall short and ARENT chassis dyno runs?

Again show us those mythical “underrated” chassis dyno runs or shut up with the “gross” hp fantasies

You just make yourself look clueless when you dispute FACTS

The only thing making 350 + ft lbs is your dreams and misinformed fantasy

Cite some other chassis dyno runs and stop spouting the same “underrated” myths

Compare those laughable “old school” top of the top muscle car numbers to a 10 yo Stock 5.3 Silverado Which will put out between 270 and 280 ft lbs to the tires

SBC for guys with no fabrication skills who really just think “meh it needs some kind of motor”

Funny. I LS swapped a mustang for under $3k and that included a cam and it made 386hp on a dyno through a th400 on the “crappy” LS heads

Actually actual dyno tests say those old numbers are full of crap http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/additio…

Exactly

I am going to build one more SBC 383 for my suburban not because of any advantage it has over an LS but because I am a sucker for the crazy reliability of a TBI Chevy.

Mopar4life’s problem is he assumes those old GROSS hp figures are meaningful in any way

The one I drove last week showed 16mpg on the computer. Pretty average for s full sized truck.

Further complicating ford wrenching is their retardation on the “bell housing pattern of the week”

Change header gaskets on that and get back to us

You can take a 200k mile truck LS open up the ring gap and blow in 1000 horsepower AND IT WILL LIVE

A a stock 6.0 with a cam good tune and long tubes is a 500 hp combo. You will have more money tied up in just the heads to get a SBC there.

The place where the LS wins is it will make over 300 ft lbs just off idle all the way up and approaching the redline. The old 327 Even tested in the pure fantasy GROSS hp cannot hold a candle to this on a modern dyno where at 2000rpm you’ll barely have 200ftlbs

I taught my wife how to drive a stick in an exceedingly sketchy early model brat
