[sdun]

Ran into a guy several years ago that had a 52x w/ nothing exotic in it that went 5.70 pretty consistant.


I would of have to had a fogger on that thing! Street car.

The problem with big blocks compared to the small block is the cost it takes to make good power. Big cubes and good heads are expensive.

Buddy of mine had a 54x in a 78 f250 single cab 2wd. It was stupid awesome

was it tan/brown two tone? If so he would talk to me at Kdale. It was a real sleeper.

This red car is an Australian Falcon with a pump gas 608 with C heads. The guy built it back in 2006. It made 900@7000 RPM at the flywheel on the engine dyno. The heads alone will set you back $5K or so though. Looks like it would be a fun little setup.

Guess I should have said "close to"...

"My 545 with aluminum heads, intake, water pump, lightweight starter, headers, weighs 573. Not bad considering it weighed 720 to begin with. "

"351w = 510-525#"

Those are random googled numbers, fwiw. Don't care enough to try and research further...
