wondering about the limited edition sb-454 motown street engine from world products, i havent heard much about the company or their engines, but im looking for high hp in a small block package. any input would be helpful.

 

Don't have any first hand experience other than their heads, and they were good. Don't see any reason their motors wouldn't be top notch, if you have that kind of coin laying around, you have looked at the prices ?

 

got back from the big sandbox a few months ago , got a 78, and want to build it to scare the rest of the living crap out of my self

 

I havnt had any experience, But if i had the money THATS THE ONE ID GET. I think its amazing, World has very fast creates and there heads from what i hear are exellent. I dont know anyone personal with this but all i know is if i had the money Id be ordering one.

 

It ALL comes down to the one item, BUDGET. We speak with many customers up here (on Long Island) and build many units for them. The following unit went "down-the-highway" a few months back, it left (I believe, as I don't have dyno sheets here) with 733HP (6700 RPM) & 646 Ft.Lbs. Torque (5650 RPM) and both drives AND races on straight 93 octane. I believe it to be in a Vette near us. Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. The following was posted a few months ago.
The heading was "The Highest HP (N/A) SB Pump-Gas Unit In The Country". (For all we know it may still be, but it's like "Computers").
[Quote]"At least that's what we believe at this moment. I had made a couple of previous posts about getting ready to test an 18 degree Chevrolet engine. Just completed first dyno test couple nights back on a 468 C.I. SBC. "Staggering" HP and Torque numbers. Without getting into too many details just yet, the first 2 pulls produced 705/706 HP and 630 Ft.Lbs. torque. The engine is still in the dyno room and is going to see some minor changes, we know we will see much higher numbers before it's unbolted. The entire tests were performed with 93 Octane from our local Citgo gas station. We actually expect to see 740 Horses and very close to 700 Ft.Lbs. torque before we decide to do any major changes. Our hats go off to Jeff at Brodix and James down at Comp Cams. Without the Brodix heads (at least at this point in time, due to the combustion chamber design), we could not even have put this combo together. At the present time it would be impossible with any other brand of 18 degree head. I'll make another post after we take it down from the dyno. Thanks, Gary in N.Y." [End quote]
