[quote=blykins;904825]Sure, anyone can make 600hp with 340ci and a big cam, but making that much power and having the torque to back it up is a different scenario.

Well Edelbrock didnt have any luck when 5.0 magazine did the article.
I also reiterate that the 740 engine was on the small & now out of date series AFD 2v heads that use Cleveland parts
(not a hybrid head like the 3v with dedicated parts),
the engine was making plenty of torque down low but the dyno sheets only show from 4100 up. Im sorry but Id be stocked if I got a torque curve like that out of a big diesel let alone a small Cleveland.

As for Kaase & the EMC. I have a great respect for the man his history & accomplishments with Ford based products but if you think hes using a CHI head anyone can get off the shelf you need to (as we say in Oz) leave it alone. He would be using raw unmachined castings & working them from there as he does with his Pro Stock blocks & heads. I would shudder to think what a duplicate of sheriff Jon's EMC head would set you back

Anyway, wasted enough time back & fourth here. At the end of the day its up to the customer to decide, after all there are still people out there buying XXX XXXX

cheers
Lawrence
