I have 440 stroked to a 493 11.5:1 compression wth aluminum max wedge heads that flow 342 in an 244 ex an a custom sold roller cam to match the heads wth a super victor intake wth a 1050 holly domoimor wth APD mods was just wondering what kind of hp I'm going to make any an all options r appreciated thanks
 
750 or so...
..with right headers,fuel supply,cam with 700 lift, distributor,etc....my guess


I have hooker super comp headers , msd distributor, Mallory 250 fuel pump,an 700+ lift on my cam

an thanks for ur opinion
 
My guess is somewhere around 650 to 700. I have a 493 also in my 63 but its a pump gas eng with 10.6 comp and EZ heads that flow 329 @ .600 lift. I use a solid flat tappet cam thats .585 & .592 lift with 264 & 270 @ .050. I also use the Indy dual plane intake with the basic Holley 850 DP. If I look at the charts for my 3700 lb car to run 10.70's its around 575 to 600 flywheel hp and your eng should be alot stronger then mine with your combo. Good luck with it. What car is it going in ? Ron

Its going in a 69 Superbee 3400 wth out me in it about 3700 wth me in it wth 430 gear an 29 1/2 tall tire 10.5 wide plain on spraying it to prob only a 250 shot
 
Stock block ?? I would not spray it, only because I have sprayed a 200 shot into a 700+ hp 440 stroker before and split the block, went 9.23 @ 145 a few times before it happened :)
 
Why guess, take it to the chassis dyno and put it on and know what it is making. Ask them for air/fuel as well and then use it to tune your carb.
 
4.10 gear will be plenty with a 29.5 even w/o spray. Power will depend. What heads, cam and intake?
Doug
 
Do you know the cam duration? I would guess it should be around 700+ HP.
 
How can we know what it'll make "easy" w/o knowing what cam. heads, and intake it has????
Doug
 
He said a Super Victor intake w/ max wedge port heads that flow 340+ on the intake side and a .700" lift cam.
Even without knowing a couple of specifics (like the particular head or the duration of the cam), I feel pretty confident on the ESTIMATED power output.
 
Lessee, 650, 700, 700+ and 750 estimated. I see the humor in that, sure, 650-750 estimated horsepower. Yep gonna be there summers. I agree.
 
I'd say allot depends on who built & assembled it, who did the porting etc.

Maybe go google & Comp Cams get their CamQuest6 {IIRC} download,
it'll give you a ballpark idea, IMO it's not that far off, from some of the stuff I've done,
mostly basic stuff & around what cam of theirs will best suited, rec. lift & duration,
solid/mech. lifter, hyd. lifter, sol. roller, hyd. roller, etc.
but you can change a few of the variables too...

what type of usage ?
{street strip choppy idle, drag race only, w-race converter etc.}

what compression, head cc, cylinder volume ?,
{pocket ported, fully ported, valve angle, stock etc.}

what valve size int. & exh. ?
{even has an optional cfm graph etc.},

what make of engine ?
{383-440 wedge, 426 hemi etc.},

what type of added mods ?,
{N20, blower, turbo etc.}

what cfm carb or inj. size ?
{cfm makes a world of a difference},

what style of induction ?
{port inject., efi, multi-carb, tunnel or single carb, single or dual plane, ported etc.},

what exhaust ?
{Stock Manifolds, header size tube, w-mufflers or open headers etc.},
but not really based on strokers thou

Perfect world scenario maybe a formula 2.2 hp/per cfm of cylinder-head flow
342cfm x 2.2 = 752.4 realistically 550hp- maybe upto 750-800hp @ sea level
{but of course professionally built, even what fuel is used, methonal, ethanol, race gas etc. & by someone who knows how to properly put together a good package/parts etc. & what they're actually doing}
should be a no brainer, properly spec'd/built/assembled...

good luck & happy Moparing
