pulled the pan and all the lower end looks all forged except the rods with I thought were aluminum but turns out to be titanium!
the guy raced drag cars on weekends .
windage tray and scraper under the pan aswell.
Ok whats a conservative ballpark figure for horsepower and torque for this motor?
pistons are flat tops btw. (borescoped the sparkplug holes)

[Jay Hilliard]

Depending on cam, but I would guess ~440hp. 1hp + per cubic inch comes easy these days.

Im trying to ID the heads and intake
its a victor intake
brodix heads where do i find the numbers?
I see some on the end of the head 109 stamped
also found another number on the heads
M709

[DAWG]

after installing a stud girdle for the rockers and got a set of billet valve covers I decided to throw on a fresh coat of POR 15 engine paint.
the intake will be bead blasted next week.

Sorry, but I have been on the other side of one of these deals. My ex got a 71 442. 455/4speed/ac etc. convert. Then the dumbass sold it for $5000!!!!!!!!!!

I guess this thread just brings back bad memories. Maybe the thing to do would be call the previous owner and see if he wanted it back for $500. :thumbsup:

Always remember this, what goes around, comes around.......

I really don't mean to rain on your parade, it is just I have been there, know the feeling.

[DAWG]

im sure if the guy wanted it he would have said so in the settlement.
he just took his clothes and cars with tools and left.
I talked to the guy today he said its better i got it than some idiot that dont know what he got .
plus he laughed when I told him I got the motor off his wife for 500 bucks.
So everything is cool.
Turns out we went to high school together and used to hang out a long while back.

[Bill Howell]

Cool, now I feel better, congrats on the find.:thumbsup:
