Putting the engine in a 1968 Lemans I've had about 20 years. Was on the road about 8 of those. Doing a frame-off resto-mod ala mid '70's look, TKO-600, Ford 9", tunnel ram, big & littles, one piece fiberglass tilt nose, jacked up, white interior, tilt steering column, Grant steering wheel, Jensen door speakers in my new white door panels, Kraco under dash 8-track, and all the extra gauges outside the windshield. LOL Got side tracked with a 1948 International Box truck I am rebuilding for my brother. Have not touched the '68 in 4 years, but I have been purchasing a boat load of parts that'll make it quick to put it all back together. The body is back on the frame. |

Asked in post number 8 but it's still not clear. I presume the testing was performed on a engine dyno and not a chassis dyno.
A water brake engine dyno like a SuperFlow needs to be set to operate in a certain rpm range based off the torque the engine is producing. After some initial pulls and adjustments to the brake, you start testing at a certain rpm. More often than not at about 3000 rpm and up. "Starting engine dynamometer pulls at low rpm is hard on the dyno and hard on the engine. Today, engine dynamometer testing is an integral part of many HOT ROD engine buildups and product tests. Typically these tests start no lower than 2,800 rpm, and often higher." https://www.hotrod.com/articles/dyno...often%20higher. .

Westside Performance is a good shop. I've had a few dyno sessions there, the last was in Oct this year. Cost at that time was $650.
I mentioned the tid bit about a engine dyno because it was asked about numbers for idle on up. Nice build. .
