Well, as for wanting torque and horse power, I decided to go both. The 460 BB motor / tranny / clutch / 9 inch Currie cost me over 50 grand installed. That did not include suspension, and the rest of the car. Is it a hand-full? The skid marks in my undies atest to the awsome thrill I get driving the car on the street, or track. Do I race stoplight to stop-light? No!!! I do know whats under the bonnet, and I have nothing to prove. And, I run 308's for a final. Crank HP is 740 and torque is 640. These measurements are at 5500 RPM. The Motor was built by "New Generation Engines" of Fonthill Ontario Canada. The unit is not a stroker. The engine idles at 850 RPM and produces 90 ft pounds of
oil presure at idle. It has been converted to a 4 bolt splayed mains. The rest is just numbers. The motor runs very hard. The weight option in the car is 51/49. It sticks like glue in the corners, and goes like 773H in the straights. It sounds nasty, and keeps my driveway free of small stones.
