HP/TQ Guesses on this combo - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Hey guys, this spring I'm taking my truck to the chassis dyno to finally see what it really has. There are a lot of guys on ths forum that really know Clevelands and I was wondering if some of you wanna shoot me a power estimate? Flywheel or Rear wheel, doesn't matter to me. But here is my combo:

357 Cleveland with 10.8:1 compression TRW forged flat-top pistons w/plasma-moly rings. Connectring rods are reconditioned w/ARP bolts and the whole rotating assembly was fully balanced. Heads are D0AE-N closed chamber 4v's that have extensive port work in the bowl and short turn area. The rest of the port received the normal clean up work, Parker Port Stuffers were installed in the intake ports, and the exhaust port was also polished. The rocker pedestals were machined to accept screw in studs. Valves are 2.19" Milodon Mega-flo intakes, 1.71" Milodon Mega-flo exhausts, Crower Stainless 1.73:1 roller rockers, PSI dual springs w/dampner, and Comp titanium 10 degree retainers and locks. Custom MME Hyd Roller cam with 285/287 advertised, 242/244 @0.050, and 0.640" lift on both sides. Funnelweb 4v Single Plane intake, Wilson 1" 4 hole tapered spacer that is matched to the cloverleaf top of the Funnelweb, 830 Holley DP w/annular boosters, and Holley "Blue" fuel pump. Mallory Comp 9000 distributor, complete Jacobs Pro Street Ignition, and MSD Super Conductor plug wires. Custom Flanged Hooker Super Comp Headers by MME with 1 3/4" primaries, 34" long, 2 1/2" collectors and dual 3" exhaust into Spin Tech Pro Street Mufflers with dumps before the axle.
"Full Roller" C6 Trans with extra clutches, Transgo Pro-Street shift kit, and Hobart Performance "Trick" Super Servo. The torque converter is a custom built Dacco Igniter S/S 10" 4000 rpm unit. Gear Vendors Overdrive, 9" rear with 4.86 gears, Detroit Locker, and 31 spline axles. Custom set of Cal Trac traction bars with Rancho RS9000 shocks and clamped leaf springs in rear. 28x11.50x15 M/T ET Streets for the strip.

There it is, let me know what you guys think it will do.
Thanks

My optimistic guess with that combo would be 385hp/435ft/lbs at the wheels.

Yeah i reckon about 390 rwhp. You could have alot more power by bolting on a TFC manifold which is the best for a cleveland on the market today. And what are those parker port stuffers ,never heard of them. Do they have a web site.

F100cleveland · 01-26-2005, 20:12

Crochunter, you think the TFC intake is better? I've seen numerous dyno reports where the Funnelweb made more power than the TFC. But here is the website to Parker Racing. http://parkerracing.com.au/
The Funnelweb uses a lot smaller port that utilizes the top of the intake port and eliminates the dead part of the port on the bottom. So Terry makes aluminum port stuffers that fill in the bottom of the port in the head. It changes the port size to 225-230cc. Makes it a smooth, straight shot at the valve. It is supposed to speed up velocity in the port and doesn't hurt flow. I can't find the website that lists the intake tests, if anyone else does, please post them.

I would appreciate it very much if you could find those dyno tests. I would love to try a funnel web to see.

heres 2 of the sites that deal with the parkers!
I bought a parker 4v and port tongues to eventually go in a 377c stroker. awesome in the flesh! a mate has got a TFC 4V and i may be biased but mine looks beeter and his has a flat floor in the plennum whereas the parker has a peak!

crochunter · 01-27-2005, 01:49

Does your mate have hp figures of his 4v tfc motor.

crochunter · 01-27-2005, 01:52

That funnel web manifold pictured in ford muscle web site is identical to a TFC. I think someone is copying. Just with a different name on it.

xyfmtjoe · 01-27-2005, 02:00

Not as yet! it made 435 with f238 10-1 comp port plated 4Vs with an edelbrock torquer filled to match and blew it up by way of filling up the sump with fuel due to a jammed fuel reg. it was 500ks old if that
nipped a lifter or two and bent some valves
it should be on the dyno in a month or so and when i get details I post them up.

xyfmtjoe · 01-27-2005, 02:08

they are similar but the parker has the cloverleaf carb mount and radiused plennum floor tfc are square with a flat base.
kec in perth did a head comparison a while back http://www.kec.com.au/articles.html iron vs 3V #1
