My 1970 Hemi Dyno run at Dougan's Engine, Riverside CA

[super-bee_ski]

This dyno run was at "Dougan's" in Riverside, CA.
Owner Ray Fields and his team were a great help.
I had water coming out of the back of the right side head.
We pulled the valve cover, did some troubleshooting, Ray figured it was a gasket that had not sealed properly. We put it back together and continued with the run.
Multiple hours and 8 gallons of race fuel.
Total cost: $650.

Pic 04: My wonderful wife in background
Pic 12: Exhaust temps after a "warm-up"
Pic 13:Ray Fields and one of the "
Pic 14:Left side valve cover off looking for "water"
Pic 15: I'm tired and concerned, not looking happy.
Pic 17: My wife "Candy" emthusiastically oversees the operation (My one true love)
Pic 19: Ray Field (owner of Dougan's) and my wife Candy while I "wrench"
Last pic: Not a "PEAK HP/TRQ, 5140 RPM. HP: 420 and Torque 429
Still more to go, final was 452 HP and 457 Torque (More there I'm sure)

The Hemi is a 1970 "Short-Block".
So, the specifics are all "Factory"
I bought it from Bob Mazzolini Racing, Riverside, CA.
It was in his 1966 Plymouth HEMI Belvedere whic he bought brand new. (Original Hemi car)
He found a date coded 66 block. so he sold me this short block.
I believe it is a extremely LOW mileage 426.
Original parts.
10.25-1 compression
Hydraulic factory cam
Timing was best at 36 degrees total
we did try:
34 degrees
36 degrees
38 degrees
It liked the 36 degrees total.

Again, it is an original 1970 (May 69) short block.

10.25-1 compression (probably has factory style 5/64 rings which are a huge source of friction, relatively speaking)
Hydraulic factory cam (this combined with the CR pretty well dictated the power it made)
Timing was best at 36 degrees total (I would've expected it with all that open chamber at 10.25-1)
we did try:
34 degrees
36 degrees
38 degrees
It liked the 36 degrees total.

Very nice build and a good representation of a factory 426 hemi!! You should be proud!
