Let's talk radical small block fords.

[91CoupeMike]

Just picking you guys brains, been checking out builds lately of 600-700hp n/a.

Horsepower isn't everytnjng but Im toying with the idea of starting the parts gathering for a high revving small block ford. It'll be a dart block of course, probably a shp unless an iron eagle would be better?

I know it won't be street friendly, probably won't run on pump gas ect..

My goal in mid to high 9s in the 1/4 mile n/a with no intentions of a poweradder.

8000-8500 rpm?

How would you guys go about building somehning like this?

Would a face plated TKO be the way to go?

My only requirements are 8.2 deck, and fit under a stock hood if possible.

they require a job with a payscale slightly more "radical" than autozone.

god bless.

Step 1:
Open your checkbook, your significant other's checkbook and your future kids checkbook.

Bunch of lol in here.

Google "Joe Sherman 347". 550 hp for pump gas and there is a race gas 13.5 CR version that makes around 770 hp.

I dont see the point.

Great help guys..

In the meantime for shits and giggles, throw a bigger cam in yours and run it to 8,000 rpm, and make sure to get video.

It won't be cheap, but this isn't a cheap hobby. This is something I would build and collect parts for a good amount of time. I still have my stock block on spray to play with meanwhile.

I know a lot of you guys don't see the point, but there's something about a good running all motor car that Ive always liked, plus it'll sound awesome.

Haha.. Screw that the lifters go to shit around 6500

Perhaps, almost 50k a year before taxes at age 24 working at autozone isn't too shabby IMO, def not choo choo monies though.

I know you like doing things differently than others, but it's been done, it takes more money than it's worth. There's a reason that a power adder is used in most cases, because it works, and dollar for dollar, you get more bang for you buck.

Plus, you are drag racing. If you were road racing or something, I could see the want for a high reving N/A build.

If I had money to waste I would have something like this. For now I'll settle for my budget built 7,000 rpm, two bolt time bomb.

LSX, it will fit under stock hood, less rpm required to meet goals.

[VaderTT]

Doesn't the shp have 2 bolt front/rear mains and the IE have all 4 bolt?

I can't recall.
