Fantastic information. If everyone would list their engine, for example ford motor sport 392 with XXXX heads and Carb and post dynoed horsepower at flywheel or rwhp we could all save alot of money on our next one. For example I had a 302 bored to 306 cubic inches (all ford parts in short block including cast crank), no roller rockers but roller lifters with eddlebrock performer heads, eddlebrock performer rpm air gap manifold and holley 600 cfm carburator and obtained 315 hp at the rear wheels in a backdraft. factory headers and sidepipes, tuned by me, myself and I. Engine cost approximately $2500 from start to finish using used block, rods, crank. $2500 included engine, starter, msd ignition, machine shop work, water pump etc.
