First 547 build

Looking good. The Grabber Blue is an all time favorite color too!!

I still haven't dynoed the motor yet, I pulled the heads to get some bowl work and back it on intake valves..

As for fuel system,Still need to order a carb, possibly looking at a ultra 950 xp, a refurbished one from the Holley store , as for rest of the fuel system thinking just a Holley 130 gph fuel pump, half inch line with half inch sending unit and a regulator. I think that should be enough??

Hopefully in a month get it dynoed

Finally the motor is getting dynoed this Friday. I just hope everything goes ok. Any guess on power?

Engine pics (and car) look fantastic.

Not sure what compression ratio you ended up with or what camshaft specs you ended up with.
Those will give us an idea what rpm range - and what possible HP output will be.
Without much information it is tough to guess.
Could be 400 hp to 750 hp. (baby cam and low compression to big cam and higher compression)

x2, thought I missed it somewhere..

Compression should be around 10.3. deck clearance is .011, cam is solid cam from Randy 668 lift 649 exhaust 259,265@.50
Roller Harland sharps rockers, intake ported and heads have bowel blend and intake back cut. Pro systems 1000cfm and jomar powercone.and 547 cubic inch 4.400 bore, 4.500 crank. We were going 552 but had to get a different block

I would guess at least 650 hp.

Let us know what it does!

690 - 710 ......ish

That would be nice, but I don't think it I'll be that much. My guess is 668 . Dyno will be at 900 feet elevation vs 5,000 in Wyoming

Where in Wyoming? They gave me the "correct ed" hp, which accounts for elevation and I believe temperature. I am in Tremonton which is near Logan, Utah. I got a Wyoming elk tag this year, unit 98 I believe.

Casper. But I work out of town so I haven't been back in 3 months or so

Follow for "Dyno"

It made 630 hp at 6000 and 670 lb at 4400. I'll post a sheet later

That is all the RPM you will need to use in a regular hot-rod street car.

Very nice! That will get you moving

That cam was designed for a 472 / 502 size engine so, it really should have been about 4 degrees larger but, certainly not enough difference to spend the money for another camshaft.

Out of the 10 pulls one at 32 degrees
it made 675.2 @4500
But horsepower dropped to 626.4 @6,000
It all depends on what I guy wants I guess
