Re: Back to 409 stuff........
No "old days" here in my shop, wannabe !
Dyno'd my engine a couple weeks ago ( 3rd build ). Looks like I FINALLY got the valve train stabilized, by using Comp's new tool steel retainers, and a set of heavy wall Manton pushrods.
Pretty darn happy with this engine now ! Spins the RPM that I always thought it should, horsepwer hanging in there.
According to the dyno numbers, which don't have a great peak, but a very respectable average... with a perfect operating chassis, the car weighing in at 3640 ( with me ), should run a high 10 @ around 121 at sea level.
Perfect chassis ?
HEEE HEEEE !!
don't know about THAT ? !
good engine though
