I've heard some people say that they have assembled short blocks that will spin over on the engine stand and only need 3-4 foot pounds of torque to rotate the crank. Of course, this is without the heads on, but less torque to turn would equate more power left over at the other end of the crank.Best wishes with this latest incarnation and for a great season for you guys!!
