Z-Dreamer Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 In the October issue of Carcraft, there is an article on how to build a 351 Windsor long block that makes 405hp at 5800 RPM and 391 lb-ft of torque at 4500 RPM for, get this, $2500 And thats with CNC ported stock heads! Sounds tempting! Mark ------------------ " Now where did I set my beer? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 High horsepower is great, but in these little cars, lots of torque can be more fustrating than fun. My 302 is a moderately high rpm hp motor with less torque on the low end of the rpm range, which even with 315/35R17's, I still can have traction problems. I can't even image what more torque and less traction would be like. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
