Building a 370. What should I expect?
Building a 370. What should I expect? Hey guys. I am building a 370 engine. The compresion will be 11.3.1 with TSP stage 3 heads, 90/90, Cam is near the Texas Giants size, and a compliment of full boltons breathing out true duals.
Does anyone have something close to this? I am just curious about the numbers you are putting down along with times. Thanks for your help.

I would guess 460 or 470, but depends on some things you didn't mention. You running 1-7/8 headers? Auto or M6? Regardless, should be a stout setup and will run well. 370's are a good alternative to a 408 when your bucks are down a bit.

Amen brutha! I am building the 370 the way I wish my 408 was built.
It will be a TH400 car. The headers are 1 3/4. Silly of me not to list that. I figure with an auto I should see on the dyno 420ish. I was just hopping someone had something close.Either way I will be be spraying a huge shot on the bitch after a good break in period.

You dont think it will do more than that?? I'd would think that a "well" built 370 could do 500+rwhp. Just my .02.......

Yes a 370 could make 500 but that would have to be one serious 370.Huge heads and all.Evan if your car duznt dyno huge number threw the auto it will still run great times at the track with that trans and thats what im your really after
