Dyno Sheet from a guy in Cali who I consulted on building his engine and supplied a roller cam

Thank you.

What was the ci, cam timing and engine size on that dyno engine?

[brechlrl]

I think it was a .060 over 368. Not sure on cam timing, probably in the 240s @ .050

Was it a factory 4v intake? What size carb?

IIRC, the car 4-bbls were small bolt pattern for the Holley tea-pot carbs; later Holleys require an adapter. The last truck version had the later Holley bolt pattern, but was considered worse runners for flow.

He used the aluminum adapter to run an SBC manifold. Probably a Performer RPM or a Victor Jr. 750 Carb. None of the factory manifolds would make that much power.
