520 cube, cast single four, Pro Ports, 824 hp, 745 tq
« on: June 09, 2016, 09:20:00 PM »
Fun today!  I like it when a plan comes together!  We dynoed a 520 inch streetable FE that surprised me a little.  A fine member of both here and the net54 FE site is the proud owner of this mill.  I'm sure he will post some on this at a later date.

520 cubes
BBM block
RPM crank
Crower forged rods
CP Pistons
Total Seal rings
T&D race rockers
BP ported CAST Edelbrock Victor
1250 Quick Fuel Dominator
BP ported Edelbrock Pro Port heads
Crower bushed rollers
BP "drag week" cam

Peak power   824 @ 6500 rpm

Peak torque. 745 @ 4900 rpm

I don't have the sheets.....they went with the new owner, who came to the dyno and tuned the variety of Dominators himself .  Not everyone can jump right in and get involved as he did.  Hats off to him for his abilities!  A good day of testing with good folks.  I thought it was worth posting.

Somebody's truck is gonna need a roll cage!! 8)... Blair I will call you tomorrow. I think The Dyno sheets I got are the uncorrected numbers. Lower than what the operator was showing us on the screen. Thanks for all your effort and patience after the first go around, but I think we made the correct choices in the end... Good things take time. I hope I can make the truck fly.

Cody, you are very welcome. Enjoyed meeting you and the wife in person.  I'll get Frank to print the corrected sheets.  Probably was not a huge CF yesterday.  I'll call him.  Can't wait to see how it does in your truck.

That's a bad ass mill for sure, especially if it's streetable. Looks like the truck is gonna need some wheelie bars along with the cage!

those are some sweet horsepower and torque numbers and at low rpm also,  should last a long time.   and times 2,  get that welder fired up for that shiny new cage ;)

Congrats Blair and Cody... wow, you got a mean engine now! Looks like you have had a busy week Cody! Getting married, big dog burnout at the reception was cool... honeymoon, Nashville, and a dyno session... I saw the Facebook post, but I didn't know it was your engine and BP Power. Great job!

I think you will need a full cage now. Are you trying for the fastest FE truck? You and Bruce F need to go heads up!

Looks like the Victor with some love and a big Dominator can make some steam. I have said that before on mostly deaf ears. I realize there is much more to it than that, so don't get me wrong. I can't wait to hear some ET numbers!

Thanks guys but Blair deserves all the credit since it's his recipe. I just sent him some of the parts I had already collected and he worked them into the build. I just told him my intentions for the truck and this is what resulted. Should be a hoot adding around 300 hp to the truck. I will be changing rearends going from 31 spline and street gears to 35 spline and pro gears. Will hopefully be putting a cage in the truck over the winter or as time allows. Anybody care to take a guess where I will end up ET / MPH? Truck is around 3900 lbs without a cage...Thanks

I'm guessing you'll be in the 12's....from lack of traction  ;)

I got a gander at your engine while I was at Blair's picking up a stroker kit. I still can't believe this is going into your truck! A nice combo of parts, and of course the right guy to mate it all together. Good luck on getting it sorted out with the new combo, and that's not meant sarcastically either. I hope the new wife enjoyed her honeymoon :)
