I've been on the same dyno, its a pretty damn fair one, and fair to say its not happy.

OP the Edelbrock heads are as good as stock CJ castings but for the same $$ their is alot better stuff avalaible, like the SCJ's and P-51 they are more capible.

You goal of 750 is very obtainable with most any aftermarket aluminum heads, with a couple of chinese exceptions.....

thanks for the info man. so is there any certain block i should be looking for or will any two bolt main block be good enough?

dfree383 on January 27th 2011, 1:40 pm

Nothing special to look for, pretty much any block will do what your asking.

Common Casting Numbers a D1VE and D9TE they work fine.

Spend the money on high quality machine work and good parts to go in the block. Plus a good safe tune is the key to making it live.

thanks, what would you say are the max hp numbers for those blocks?

dfree383 on January 27th 2011, 3:11 pm

With a fill and good tune 750-800ish reliably, they have been pust alot farther with good results, but they do occasionaly break. If your building a big HP engine or are going to look for more later a Ford Racing A460 or and Eliminator block would be a wise investment.
