Engine building, up to date comparisons?
I have been looking into engine building and found the following link very helpful
http://www.ryanscarpage.50megs.com/combos1.html
Has anyone made an up to date version of this page? some of the builds are over 15 years old and I guess things have moved on somewhat.
Perhaps we could compile a list of what people have built here and get something up and running.
After 632C2's 1374 rwhp post, my almost stock 75 L48 is looking a little weak!

around in his modest powered car just enjoying it. I once built
a solid cammed 396 put it in my car ran it less then a month,
nothing wrong with it, pulled it out wanted more power, I had
a stouter 454 before that time in a different car so I was not
happy with it. People that don't have the power disease are
lucky it sure costs them a lot less money to have some fun.
I blame my older cousin for this power addiction, when I was
14 he let me drive his moded 64, 327/365 hp coupe on the public
streets one night for a short distance.

I have always been jealous of the guy that is happy cruising
around in his modest powered car just enjoying it. I once built
a solid cammed 396 put it in my car ran it less then a month,
nothing wrong with it, pulled it out wanted more power, I had
a stouter 454 before that time in a different car so I was not

Its just, sometimes...I want to floor it and see her smoke the tires! Instead its like, oh, what, you want me to go faster? ok, lets go...lol
I guess Im thinking of a project car, a wreck that I can make my own and have all the horses I want!
