I can bolt on the 1050 and see how fast it goes but its not going to get a steady diet of it.
I will not be able to make enough HP to put the block at risk with the 850. There is a good reason for running it, most of the time.
The HOs are going back on this block and I do not want anything to happen to it.
Your situation does not compare to mine or the OPs. A 505 with a great big set of heads and a highly ported Victor is apples to oranges with a stock block.
I bet you did pick up 35 HP. I might pick up 10-12 HP and its a heavy car so I might not even see it at the track. Just on a dyno.
BTW, the actual cfm of a 1050 is 1130cfm. Plenty for a 6500 RPM 461.
It is the Street Section after all.
Now we’re totally confused, a few of us have been following your build for last 3 years. We were all under the impression you were building one of the most powerful pump gas stroker motor with the intentions of setting a new record. From the Steff pan with double scraper that adds 25 % more hp. Heavily modified oil pump with the bigger pick up. The back cut rings, moroso vacuum pump. Crank tiger. The 1050 crab, you added billet metering blocks, $100.00 each or maybe for both. then sent it out to be super modified by the known crab guy. for another $300-350. The big 2” headers with the added merge collectors. The ported victor intake. Or maybe just port matched to those SD heads, The SD ported high port heads, that flow 355 cfm. That started out as 87 cc head you had cut for $100.00 each to get it down to 10.1 compression. A few of us really excited I mean you’ve gone through great effort to make 700 plus hp. Now Mike calls me after reading your last post, really disappointed. Because he was really hoping to copy your combination. Looking to build one of the most powerful stroker pump gas motors. One of the other questions he asked me is how do you go from a Victor dominator intake to 850 crab.
