Horsepower determines how fast you hit the wall. Torque determines the size of the hole you make.
That's the place I keep hearing about and that's right down the street from me (literally). Is it Baldwin Machining? (248) 335-1518Originally Posted by mdsheppie
Thats the place

Just got off the phone with "Buck" from Baldwin Machining. His suggestion for the 396 was to get the "dump truck forged crank", 7/16" dimpled rods, Clevite #8 bearings, ARP rod bolts and balance the whole thing. Sound like some good advice? I'm planning to drop this motor into Shep's V-drive in the Spring.
He used to own a 21ft Sleekcraft with a 455 and Jacuzzi pump w/ an energizer kit. Said he stepped up to a 28ft offshore.
Sounds about right I have a "dump truck forged crank" if you need it I think its .010 ,.010...#6223

The only thing I would change is the rods. For a little more than what it costs to re-con a set of stock rods with arp bolts you can get a set of offshore h-beams.
Great Day at Church!!! You car motor Jabronis are missing the boat!!
Mike just texted me that he has a set for a deal.
Shep, shoot me a message if you're willing to part with the crank.
Text sent to you Dave

Crank acquired (Thanks Shep)
Oil pan, pick-up, windage and pump acquired (Thanks again Shep)
Rods are on their way (Thanks Mike, I'll mail you the check as soon as I get your address)
Short Block
-Isky cam 396284/294 - (INT./EXH.) .578/.608, 284/294 ADV, 238/248 @ .050, 110 lobe
-Hydraulic Roller lifters either Crane or Isky
-Double roller cam? Suggestions?
-Lock plate for cam?
-Need suggestions on pistons!
Long Block
-049 big oval port heads with new valves
-Isky Springs PN 8005-A, steel retainers, and poly locks (already installed in the heads)
-Steel Roller tip rockers
-Going to need stud girdles?
-Edlebrock dual plane intake
-Still need a carb, thinking 750cfm
What else am I missing? Any advice is appreciated. Should be dropping parts off at the machine shop in the morning.
Dave...I might have a new lock plate with hardware....you can have it if I can find it..Don't waste money on a girdle...you have a hyd cam, which will never see mid 6k rpm..you are not building a lake rocket with long legs.. Also keep in mind that you only need 450-500 HP for the boat you are looking at...and 500HP is crazy high side.. A cam that you might consider..http://www.dougherbert.com/bb-chevy-...9888.html...as with any roller cam, install a button

The block and parts were dropped off at the machine shop this morning. I talked with the guy up front and he seemed comfortable with what I was after.
I called up Doug Herbert and spoke with their technical guy Tim. After getting my basics and what I was after he gave me two options on cams. I asked about reversion and he said going to a 112 lobe center will reduce the chances of that.
CBH8 (10.1:1 comp) 245/255 dur, .595/.610 112 lobe. His experience with marine applications shows that you lose about 700-800RPM off the top end of the cam so the useable range here would be up to 6000 max RPM on this application.

CBH5 (9.1:1) 230/235 @ .050, .595/.610 112 lobe. 5800 max RPM

Once the shop gets the block cleaned up and I drop off the rods we'll come to an agreement on piston and compression ratio and I'll pick the cam. I'm thinking of going 10.1, why not?
