Car engine, Performer AirGap, 4150 carb. You could put a TR and a pair of 750's on this and have easy 770-780@~6200 with a little bigger hyd roller (250-ish, .650 lift). Make a great jet boat engine. A Vic Jr and a 900cfm 4150 would be worth 30hp, probably give up a few lbs/ft.

nice mill, that should generate a few smiles upon occasion to say the least. What was the static compression ratio? How much would the power curve be effected with a cleanup done on the runners and chambers? Would the 250ish duration bump be a concern/problem with the reversion potential of a jacketed set of lightning headers in a jet application?

Hey JJ, compression was 10:1. Usually more air flow with the same cam just moves the power curve up in the rpm range, with more power of course. The cam in this engine would not be wet-exhaust friendly but we can create a similar cam that would be. The biggest issue is where the water is injected into the exhaust system. The further from the engine, the better.

Used the 305AFR with the cnc chamber a lot on 540s. 850/vic jr. (pulling vac.) 248/254-.648 hyd roller. 715-720lbs 720-730hp. Sold a bunch of em. Bravo 1, v-drive, jet. Works in everything. Those numbers look legit. 68' Camaro in the shop right now with one of these engines. TKO600 and 411 gear. 1-3rd is useless! Total animal.
