1.2+ TQ per cube
+/-1500 RPM between TQ and HP peaks
Belt driving the water pump
+/-700 HP
Looks like a good honest motor & dyno and should be a lot of fun

Looks like a great motor, Dan.  Post a picture or two when you get it in the car - Jay

Thanks Barry, at 1.35 HP per cube is not too bad for an old truck motor. Its a street motor for my 66 fairlane.
Jay I will post some pics, its going to be a winter project.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for helping and sharing info on these old motors. I would have never built an Fe without it. If I had a dollar for everyone that told me to do a Windsor based build or a 460 stroker instead of a Fe, I could have built two motors.

A 7000 rpm, 700 hp street engine. I like it ;D

It'd be interesting to see the lower half of the graph. With 520 CI, I'd imagine it still has some pretty decent torque numbers down low. Plenty to get the car moving anyhow!
