408 Stroker build who's keen to watch this one :)

I think Bruce told us the size.I have it written down as 209/217/112 and.496lift with 8.9Scr, 262/270 advertised. Howards 770055
Bruce is looking to figure out why his combo is so lazy off the line, with a 2200TC, a 904, and 3.23s.
It should run like a 340 except with waaay more bottom end, cuz that's just what 360s do.
I say show me the pressure,lol.

You and I are talking about two different things , I've been talking about this 408. Yes he should tune the carb he has on his 360 now.

 

[AJ/FormS]

Oh well, that explains a lot, lol. Thank you for being kind to me.

Sorry guys I have been running 2 conversation in this post

This is the 360 vac at idle

And

 

[Bruceynz]

Opps I never checked when in gear

 

[Bruceynz]

Ok watch this, finally got camera set up and took some video, had to guess revs as could not see rev counter, looks like approximately 5000rpm



And here is a pic from of the vacuum gauge in gear at idle. Looks like 15.

Here is the full video if you want to see, I ran out of road where I was Can anyone tell me from watching the revs pick up if thats what you would expect from a 360, it would of pulled well past 5000rpm! The take off is a bit slow as if I mash it will spin one wheel!

What about to do an 0-60 measurement on an 'abounded' piece of road? To calculate WHP with the weight of your car.

BTW. Nice looking car. Like the color. Keep going on!

220@.050" is not a lot of cam, especially for a stroker. It has an advertised RPM range of 1200-5700 for a stock stroke motor. 4" crank will move that range lower. Slap it together though and see how it drives. You may end up wanting to swap a factory torque converter back into the car though. The more torque and engine produces the higher the RPM a converter will stall at; which is what you don't want if you currently have a 2200 stall in the car.

One thing is for sure though, that motor is going to be a low RPM torque monster. Should make for some real fun street manors.
