Hello group, I am back!
When I stepped away in 2014 I had pulled the 445 stroker, upgraded the modified C6AE-R heads to a set of ported BBM heads which were new to the market at the time. The engine was assembled and the new front suspension had been installed when life got in the way and the project was mothballed, other interests would come n go, and soon 11 years would have past.
So after years of procrastination the engine and chassis have finally been reunited, and the dyno results are in. WerbyFord, I hope that you find this thread, you should know that your Gonkulator was dead-nutz accurate! You'd predicted an increase from 465 to 539hp at the crank and 365hp at the tire. The actual results (drum roll) an increase from 309hp with the iron heads to 366hp at the tire with the BBMs.
The aftermarket support for the FE enthusist has grown and my build with its factory block and BBM heads has become entry level but I invite you to read this thread from the beginning to follow the transformation.
New for 2025-
Cragar SS wheels have replaced the Torque Thrust D's with 15x10s wrapped in 295/55R15 ET Street drag radials now filling the rear wheel wells.
A whole new altitude. Moving away from a lowered sleeper appearance towards that of a period correct R-code tribute.
