Waking up the beast

Nope, 400 block, half filled, aluminum caps. Shes been torn down and put back together for many years.
 
I did the same but with RB block.
We'll see!
 
We're going to run the motor on the dyno again on Tuesday morning.
Did a little blending on the intake and picked up a 2" HVH super sucker spacer.
Will post results.

I have read that some Dyno results show a little more hp with an OPEN 2" spacer. I run a 1" OPEN spacer on my 10.170 3695lb Coronet...for what it is worth...you might try an open and a tapered spacer both to see results
 
So here's where we're at.
We made a few more pulls today only with the 2" supersucker.
Limited on time.
We made timing and jetting adjustments with the spacer.
We didn't spin it to 7000 but I was still happy with the results.
Previously, it went 720@ 6900 and 631 tq.
Today after tuning with the spacer it went 728 @ 6500 (still pulling) and the torque topped out at 640.
Unlike the previous pulls, the torque carried up the powerband.
Before the torque peaked at 5300 and started falling off.
Today the torque carried from 5300 up to 5700 before starting to fall.
Thats it for the dyno. Ill be bringing it home next week.
Can't wait for the spring
