Don't forget to add a (modest) amount for assembly and freight. |
500 reliable HP out of a 455 is easy as falling out of a tree.
I did it with 9-1 and iron heads. Just need simple stuff.
In fact, a 9-1 500-550 HP 455 is better and cheaper than a BBC.
We can do it with iron heads, iron crank and low RPM and they last forever.
Every one of the Chevy guys I raced against from 95-20019 had at least 3 engines during that time. 11- 10 sec cars.
I had one engine.
