New setup running-SLP 402, AFR, MS3 Assembled Friday, and installed Saturday. Set up uses the slp 402, afr heads milled .035 to give 11.6, and the TSP MS3. Other parts include LSX 90mm intake and TB, 85mm MAF, and Edelbrock stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 race header with ORY. Car has the Ram steel flywheel and 4.10s in a ten bolt. I'll have numbers Monday.

how does it feel? It will be intersting how much power it turns out with that head. I doubt it is enough head for a 402 but it may surprise me. You milled the heads but did not open the chamber up to a 4 inch bore?

Sounds like a nice setup on the motor. Bruce

Numbers are in the dyno section. (508.7 rwhp and 489.6 rwt) The only initial issue is this thing smokes like crazy when hammered. I'm hoping the rings will seat with some miles, but it does concern me.
Thanks for the reminder about my ten bolt!

Great numbers... my guesstimate was pretty close... only 8HP and 9lb/ft off!!!
What's up with the smoking? Could you post the details of who did what with the assembly? Thanks

max's dad, this is using the high compression ZL402 correct? And was the shortblock installled as shipped or did you, or have someone, go thru it first to check all the tolerances?
I was considering this sb, but seeing that its iron, and that no one want to release any info on internal parts I am skeptical. Besides, its not ring gapped for over 200Shots!

It's a shame that the 1st real review of this product is so negative... A budget 402CI Iron Block for under $4000 would have lot's of potential!
I am happy that I chose to deal with APE for my 408CI that they will be building me this winter
