Bet it's closer to 385 hp with that small cam and non ported heads.

3860 lb race weight and 110.68 MPH. I never claimed how much power my 400 was making, nor am I saying it's fast. I'm slow, I know that.

But for a $100 cast shortblock and a pathetic Torker II () and factory cast iron heads, that I threw together originally as a temp motor, it does pretty good. Basically just a junkyard special that ran a [email protected] on plain street tires at 3860 lbs the first run down the 1/4. That ain't bad.
