Default LOOK! what I found at a tag sale!
who says that tag sales arent for men.
actually a divorce tag sale wife got the house and contents in it .
look what I got for 500 bucks
406 stroker with victor intake and brodix track 1 heads.
other goodies in there aswell.
the wife said the motor was in the car for a year which he wrecked.

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)

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