Developed a leak on the rear seal since fixed. It has an 800 cfm Thunder series Edelbrock.
After a day of testing and tuning we were able to get it well over 550 ft lbs and 550 hp. Yeah, it’s not what it appears to be.

Sorry about the leak. At least you can fix it now while out of the car. Good numbers on the 383. I am hoping to get 400 HP out the one I just had rebuilt. Did not want to go into a Stroker motor. It will give me enough HP with an A/C car.

Nice looking engine and thanks to both of you for the dyno specs. Here's a rookie question. In doing the search on my 383 engine numbers, 2468130 – 1959-1971, 383 B-series big-block. I believe it's a replacement. my car was released in Jan of 68 and engine stamp is Dec of 68. Looking at the pics of your engine, my exhaust manifolds are different. Take a look, What does this mean?
And Russ, I apologize for giving false info on a shifter question you had in the recent hurst shifter post. This is the A833 four speed overdrive out of a mid 80's truck or cargo van. The shifter is obviously towards the rear, not the more to the front as I misstated .

It is all good Rumrunner. Just to say the trans. is in and got down to installing the shifter on it in the car. I goes into reverse well. My Exhaust Manifolds are different HP type I think. So have fun with the motor. Buddy.

Nice build. I always like dyno day. It's like that everyday at work. We dyno hundreds of engines every week. One of mine going to dyno day.

I'm confused, your picture shows the shifter in the front (correct for a roadrunner) position.
