The Small Block Chevy Should Have Built
This is a very interesting engine that Hot Rod built which I believe has a lot of good ideas. I've priced it out from the different suppliers and it looks to me that it is going to cost between and to build not as stated, but still not bad for what you get. I checked with AFR and they said Hot Rod had the heads laying around from a project (I believe a 305) they never got to and that AFR would recommend larger valves in the same heads, which should even give a better engine. A number of these engines have been build and it sounds like the owners are happy, but I've never found one to talk to. The cam used is Comp Cams 12-420-8 (270HR -- Hyd Roller with 215/215 at .050 and .500/.500 lift).
Be sure and check out the very wide torque range of this engine (over 400 from from 2800 to 5200). What a street engine!
