The engine power was actually 567 which I'm quite happy with. In street trim with quiet-ish full 2 1/2" exhaust it runs 126 mph. It is a bit of a science project in streetable power, which right now is not so streetable.
I recall on another forum a guy put up sbc 383 engine specs of:
Heads are Edelbrock E Street minor porting
Intake Edelbock EPS
Speed pro pistons
Pertronix dizzy
Flat tappet hyd Mild cam, 218/224@50 In lift .492 ex .501 110 lobe sep 1.6 rockers
468 TQ 437HP.
There were doubters (me one) but when dyno sheet and engine builder was know there was humble pie shared around. Well done on your build to extract the power you have.
All the idle mixture screws were around one turn, but there was some variation.
The idle feeds are 35 and bleeds are 76p 70s
The timing has manifold vacuum advance. I've messed with the advance thinking that may be a cause and it made no difference. When I tip into the throttle just a tiny bit more it runs fine.
What mystifies me is why it worked so well on a milder engine much further away from the intended application. So I won't solder the plate holes first, but maybe 2nd or 3rd.
.035” IFR should do. Worth trying .065” iab primaries, or even all round to see what that does. I’m still curious of mab and emulsion sizes. They may be shrunk right down for EMC. That could delay onset of mains as there will be reduced emulsion air lifting fuel to the booster early enough.
I’m a Street/Strip guy..... like to think outside the quadrilateral parallelogram.
