I am evaluating options on the motor for my 1985-006 1E silver four eyed Saleen (tribute) build.
I have a Edelbrock air gap, Edelbrock heads, and comp cam for it. Essentially a known performer build. Multiple magazines have achieved 399-403HP with this combo of parts at the crank with 400+ lbs of torque on a 302-306 cid bottom end. More on a stroker.
When we pulled the E7 heads off the motor I’ve had stored we found that the person who sold it to me is a lying sack of crap. 30K mile original motor out of a 90 5.0HO, yea right.
No, try 0.040 over hyperturatic pistons with valve reliefs the size of Texas. So, a 308.
I’m weighing my options right now. Attempt a 308 build in this block, attempt a 333 build, or scrap the piece of crap and buy a shortblock to build on top of.
My heads are 52cc chamber.
I’ve been asking myself what would Chuck Norris do....
The car is down in the Austin area getting worked on right now. Soon it will be time to drop a fresh bullet into it. It needs to be rock solid because I’m not doing it twice.
