While Talkin to SW....

[Steve Chryssos]

I was talkin with SW on the phone earlier about common sense engine combinations and it occurred to me that he and others might benefit from seeing a wimpy knock-around 480HP in action.
The video shows an all iron 406 with specs as follows:
-Scat forged 3.750" crank
-Manley 4340 6" rods
-JE 4.155" pistons
-World 200cc Sportsman II heads with mild porting and a real good valve job.
-2.055"x1.600" Manley Pro Flo valves
-Crower hydraulic roller with about 230 degrees duration and heavy but indestructable Crower stainless steel roller rockers.
-1971 GM block with Milodon caps
-Compression is about 10:1
-DaVinci 750cfm HP carburetor
-Canton Pan
-Engine is only turning about 5800-6000 in this vid because of track length.

There are two versions--quicktime (be patient) and YouTube Have fun watching

That car is an absolute Original, Steevo. Years from now it will be know as a unique, original Pro Touring car. All of us here know it to be the Badass ride it is. It will only become more legendary as the years pass.:thumbsup:

[J2SpeedandCustom]

I love that video! And I still can't believe it's and auto...:hail:

[MarkM66]

Nice vid! Good driving too.

[Payton King]

a leaf spring, automatic car...who would a thunk it. LOL

I love your ride and it appears you have been behind the wheel at least a couple of times.

[Steve Chryssos]

That's Tony Bolton behind the wheel. With me driving, all of the cones cough and take two steps back when they see me coming.

Anyway, the point was less is more: Little tires, little brakes, little motor, automatic and leaf springs. No wild tire smoke or brake lock up.

It's the little Camaro that could!:willy:

[Stuart Adams]

Steevo, what were your times?

[Steve Chryssos]

63.947+1 (65.947) was the fastest . Would have to dig out the others. as you can see, the track is a 3/8 mile oval with a figure eight. So track is more than 3/4 mile long.

Great video of a great car! Looks like an absolute blast.

[D Rock]

Thanks looks like sooo much fun. I'm PMing you man.
