85_SS_302_Coupe said:LOL like i said, vs. 1) either the stock carb setup or stock EFI setup, 2) the way Ford rated their engines back then, and 3) when you combine a Wieand Stealth intake with a good running 4 barrel, yeah i'm sure you could pick up 53hp at the flywheel when you take into account those details. The numbers they show are at higher RPMs as well. I don't really think 53hp at the flywheel for those two items are a big deal at all I'm sure they also bumped the timing and adjusted the curve and tuned the carb too.

I dont consider the cam bottom end.85_SS_302_Coupe said:A light weight bottom end could aid in HP production. Also, when you say stock bottom end i assume that it has stock pistons and cam, so to me that tells me that all the cam specs are stock and that the compression will be at least close to stock aside from whatever increase that the aftermarket heads might provide.
Boss 351 said:too much oil... from what I've read puting 5 quarts instead of 7 yielded more power at the dyno but this is the type of guy who would write 2 pages on how to save 1.5hp lol
I'd take a 360 anyday over a 340. 340's were slugs! Even the AAR Cudas!thumper460 said:the 340 and 360 Cry were the first to do this, if the pin is off center it will leave the piston at dwell longer and increase piston speed...and all that is HP !! tricks the engine into thinkling there is a long rod!! the 360 guys used to brag 20-25 HP!!
Just me..............................
