Edelbrock Small block power numbers
The anticipation is over, kind of.
Attached is the Dyno sheet from my 357 mule with the new small block Edelbrock head.
To recap, the combo is;
Mahle 4.100 10cc piston, 9.2:1 compression
Mahle MLS head gaskets
Molnar 6.00” Olds rods
Crane 222/228@.050 Hyd roller, lift is .555 on both, 110lsa
This run was done with a stock Victor and 750 VS Brawler carb
My 1.6 rockers were used as well as .145 wall 3/8” pushrods.
All pulls done on 91 pump gas and at 500/sec.
Heads were totally and completely stock, untouched other than to check chamber volume.
As is typical with my Dyno sessions as well, engine was run with 3’ of 2.5” pipe and Magnaflow mufflers.
Needless to say, with more compression and cam, I think 480+ isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Not bad for a pump gas, off the shelf SBO build. Btw it made 424hp with an RPM intake, same carb.
Let the bickering and nit picking begin.

To take it one step further for all the Engine Masters fans on here. Their 383 SBC Chevy test mule has 10.2:1 compression, a Victor intake, AFR heads and a 242/248 Comp roller. It makes 480/445 with just a short 3.00” pipe and no mufflers. I think my combo is pretty damn impressive, considering.

I've dynoed two times on "dynamite", there is a setup page, I found this dyno to read 30 HP high due to the dyno software taking the corrected barometer converting it to the uncorrected barometer and being full point low, then theres the foot under the front of the oil pan. Hopefully you have the barometer entered correct so your data is accurate.

And for all, Superflow dynos, like Velcros, have a setup page too.

And there is so much more potential in these it’s not even funny.
Anoldsman- I’ll try to find the RPM Dyno sheet as well. I can tell you this, the RPM and Victor made about the same tq, but at vastly different rpms. The Victor made it at 5000 as shown, iirc the RPM made it at 4200 or so.
But this combo wasn’t really correct for the Victor, they just wanted a max number. If you added a full ratio compression and a bigger cam but on a tighter lsa, I’m confident the numbers would be even more impressive.

Pretty sure 99% of us would pick the RPM intake for the street. Run a converter and gear like Copper has been running with the Victor. I assume the Victor was to satisfy Edelbrock? With the identical bottom end, except an internally balanced 330 crank, a roller cam on a 112 LSA with 4 less intake and 10 degrees less exhaust duration and .009" less lift, intake and exhaust. My plan is my current 2350 rpm flash stall, rated at 2200 to 2500 in the 2004R and the 3.08 gears, I got from you. It is meant to drive comfortly for a 1000 miles, getting good mileage at our nearly $2 a liter gas. I plan to take it to the track next year, along with SEFI. Hopefully Edelbrock has a good amount made for the first run this Fall.

Great results, @cutlassefi! Thanks for sharing.
I think that this setup would be great with your stroker crank and your multiport EFI on an Edelbrock RPM with timing control.

you can run a lot more than 9.2 with 91.

It’s peak HP is at 6k and peak TQ at 5k. Both seem high for that .050 duration.
What’s the adv duration and lift it’s measured at?
what’s the int c/l ?

Victor has a large plenum. Plus remember, these “Small Block” heads still have “big block” size ports(198cc). Just too much intake area for 357 ci with 9.0:1 compression. BUT it was better with the RPM, I’ll try to find the Dyno sheet.

But remember, this is a “performance” cyl head, and this is a very mild build by all accounts. However it still worked pretty well with the RPM intake right out of the box.
