SPLN SUX Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Whats a common size of head? i see the AFR 210cc's all over ebay, but is that just because noone gets them or because they are a bang for the buck sort of part? Do most of the bigger inch motors run 220's or 230's? SB2? Im just curious because im trying to learn the after market of the SBC before i even think about creating one.

Trjackson Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 From what I have read, most people go with the 205's, I know nothing about the 210's. I know unless you are going power adder don't go with the 225's, they allow no low end. Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Well i wouldnt want to give away the conjured ideas i have but i was thinking of a sprayed carb engine... probably a short stroke 377. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 225 for anything over 383 if I'm not mistaken. I think for 377ci a 210 would work great, but a 225 would give you more room to mod if you wanted to bore it out more later on. I want to see what the SBC guys say when they wake up. Why 377?

Why 377? .030 out 400 bore with 350 stroke.... aka, 4.155 bore with 3.48 stroke. Its simple, easy to get, no chance of clearancing issues, and its really just a chance for me to start small and work my way up. Dont worry, i see a 440 in my future... somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sweet, If thats the case I vote 210 or 215 heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sweet, If thats the case I vote 210 or 215 heads. Victor Jr's are 215... one of my 377 "formulas" calls for that anyway. Wouldnt be much of a 1/4 mile motor though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Are you attempting to build a "more street" or "more race" setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I would've kept the 400 and gone with a 408, or maybe a 434. But I'm not real sure what you're looking for. Like Vinny said, track car or street car? There base the choice of heads, intake, cam, and carb set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN1647545504 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just go 30 over on the 400 and make it a 406, instead of messing with a 377... it's pointless... it will make a lot more power and torque for the same amount of money...

SPLN SUX Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 4.155 x 3.48 Victor Jr. aluminum heads Isky mech. Roller 264/272 Victor jr intake manifold Barry Grant 750cfm annular discharge carb This combo made 590hp@6400 , 516lbft@5200. Its more of a topend combo, and may be the best way to go if i plan on dropping it into an FC... Keep in mind these are just ideas... i have no conrete plan in place. i do know that i would like to use an FC for the base, just nothing really after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justalilow1647545502 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yeah there are alot of 355 and 383's in the tests. I think there are a couple 408's though. I just posted the link to throw some ideas out there. My 383 will be going in an FC too... Seems like the test mostly 350,355, and 383's.

Guest Removed Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 377 are revving mofo's.it will be spinnng over 6500 at will. and to make that kind of power up there, a larger head and camshaft can be had! Brians 377 has brodix 11x heads on it, and it loves 7500 plus RPM. partly do to the camshaft thats in it! IMO, AFR are great for the money, its just the cheap hardware they put in them..And im not the only one that shares that opinion.If you can BUY them BARE! and will them with what you need!

My main concern with building a 420+ inch motor for an FC, is traction. I dont want to build something that i wont be able to control. Plus, id like to use a T56 so having short gears wont do me any good unless i use a long rearend gear... but then it would be a total turd for the first 100 feet.
