For Sale: turn key 428
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:39:15 PM »
.030 over C-7ME block .010/.010 crank. Zero balanced.
CJ rods with ARP bolts, TRW forged pistons.
The final compression ratio at 10.3:1. (runs fine on 93 unleaded.)
Edelbrock heads with bowl port by R & R Performance 2.09/1.66 valves.
Cam is a custom grind Crane solid lifter 284/294 adv  244/254@.050
Shell lifters, Crane springs, Harland Sharp, roller rockers, stock stands, and shafts.
Performer RPM intake, Milodon 6 qt pan, Mallory Unilite distributor, Accel wires, Edelbrock water pump, March pulleys. Surfaced stock flywheel.


This engine has about 40 dyno pulls on it from 2 different sessions. Testing was performed at R&R Performance in Spring Lake Park Mn
First session was with the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam. This cam did not produce the expected result, so I ordered a Crane profile that proved to be much better. Best hp with the Performer RPM intake was 488 @ 5900 rpm. (see dyno sheet). I installed an Edelbrock Victor and made just over 500 hp but lost a lot of torque and so I settled on the Performer RPM.

My intent was to put this engine in a Cobra replica, but my interests took a turn in a different direction. The engine has been sitting in my rec room on a stand for several years. Time to sell it and move on. The Art Deco engine stand goes with it.

$5,500
