Horspower of new engine

backusbs · May 1st, 2011, 05:27 PM

I have just built and installed a new engine in my 89 5.0. i was curious of the approx. HP. im gessin about 300 but would like some other opinions.

85 block bored .060 over.
Badger pistons flat top with valve reliefs.( not sure of compression ratio.)
Stock crank
Edelbrock performer rpm heads with 2.02 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves
roller lifters
ford racing F cam
1.6 roller rockers
BBK 1-5/8" long tube headers and x pipe into flowmaster 40's into 2.5" tail pipes.
self ported stock upper and lower intake.
underdrive pulley kit.
no a/c
no smog pump
electric fan
high output coil
stock distributor
24 lb. fuel injectors
stock throttle body with 65mm bbk throttle body spacer.
stock mass air flow meter.

I know i should upgade the intake and mass air and throttle body and i will. Im just curious to know approx what it is making now for HP. Thanks for your input.

255whp

doesnt it make 225 WHP bone stock? or is that at the crank? 255 WHP just seems a little low to me. What's holding this thing back?

What suggestions do you have for intake and cam? will that get me to 300 HP?

93hatch · May 1st, 2011, 08:20 PM

ehh you wont need alot of intake your heads dont really flow shit, cam isnt something I know enough about to suggest. Lots of lift square lobes

Guess i was hoping for more. I got the block assembled with pistons in it and the heads all for $1000. Cant really complain. Maybe a little forced induction will help her out. I have 2 comp cams for sale Non roller if anyone is interested.
