Getting ready to build new engine and just can't decide what combo to go with. I've had 355, 377, 383, 406. I like having the torque of the longer stroke but also thought about destoking a bit. Looking at going with either a 3 5/8 stroke or a 3 7/8 stroke. Bore will be 4.125. Throw out some ideas. Mainly running on 3/8 mile tracks.
A guy I share a lot of tuning tools with. Like my carb guy, chassis dyno etc.
Has a 358 10.5 to 1 that beats all my motors Ive ever had on the chassis dyno with a 4412 gauge legal. I have a little more tq with a 436 I had then him but when he switched to E 85 and dynoed it he beats me on tq and hp period.
Im seriously rethinking my whole motor program.
Didn't Bill Hendren tell you for years that a properly built 355 would outrun the 400+ci motors with the 500cfm 2bbl and you constantly said that it could not be done????
There's another question. E85 or VP113?
vp113 is oxygenated you better do a lot of research or dyno compare it yourself before going that route...
Um No NEVER... he was claiming he could build a small motor to beat a big motor with a 350cfm carb.... BUT HE never has built anything for said carb in his life.Quote:

He was using the 350 as an example and he had done it. Bill built engines using about any carb you can think of he said that he had not built a 350 2bbl motor for several years, he NEVER said that he had not built a 500 cfm 2 bbl motor. So it seams that you are the one that was wrong.Quote:
