You did but it was higher than that.

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

Looks like a stout motor for a 440!

 

[1967coronet440]

788 right at the end?

788 right at the end?

The dyno spiked right at the end.
788 not actual.
We didnt make a full pull because i had a cast iron flywheel for the dyno.
The motor will go to 7500 rpm.
At 6900 it was at 730 hp and still pulling.
I just ordered a carb spacer for it and will make another pull once that gets there.
They say maybe 760? But who knows.
It also made 631 tq. which I was very happy with.
For comparison, the old motor made 678 @7200 and 564 @ 5300
I was hoping for 725 hp 600 tq.
No rear seal leak either lol
