so, after quite a few hours playing on the dyno, the jury is in on this build
I have to say I'm both absolutely chuffed, and quite a bit surprised I managed to get these results from this build – all the painstaking hours and hours of work has finally paid off.
I really think I left a bit on the table with regards to the head, not wanting to break through anywhere and ruin a rare head I think I was a bit conservative in places.
Either way, really really happy with the results, dyno operator said it pulled like a train mid-range which is what I was hoping for, and it was one of those that just all came together and worked well
I was going to be happy with anything over 170bhp, quietly hoping for between 175-180, but in the end we made a whopping 190bhp, and 169lb.ft. with the timing dialled back to a safe zone.
Not bad for a cast iron 8v boat anchor! i must have excelled myself and done a pretty good job on the head
