No, In actuallity it sounds like you are now coming to your senses. That engine would have been an overkill for the street. BTW - You have some beautiful cars out there. I always did love the Eleanor's and you have done some nice ones.

You're crazy!  Na, your call but did you talk to Tim or your builder? The 540ci can be built to 525hp if you so desire, mine will be 600hp-615hp MAX. It was overkill IMO and why I started the "How much is too much" thread. Nice for the track but too much to enjoy on the street, I would see if you can choose a better cam for it myself.


Best of luck.

While it'd be something to brag about having over 700hp, the practicality of such an engine is overkill for a street brawler.  I don't think you're wrong in thinking you would be better off with a milder build, so best of luck getting it sold and getting something a little more mild.

there never was a goal or objective to have BIG BA11S on da street

Speedomotive knew from the outset that this car was a Convertible, resto-mod, Power Tour-ing car with air conditioning power brakes and the features needing a motor with vacuum

had to purchase & install a vacuum pump also

but it is a H311 of a motor at a great price without having to wait 3 - 8 months

thanx for the positive comments

[Carlwalski]

So, did you talk to Tim or your builder about "down sizing" the cam?!
Tim is only on 2 months build time now, I'd wait a year+ for the end result, definitely.

Speedomotive has ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE Customer Service so no - go for the business side

the builder, now departed from Speedo -  has started his own company - after sending 2 emails for explanation - he has NOT returned a response

Stay away from Cedarstrand Racing in California

probably will take a while to sell Hemi, researching "downsizing" and other options

 

[Carlwalski]

........researching "downsizing" and other options

I've said it before but will say it once again, call Tim Banning at FHO.

thats a pretty powerful motor for sale.i think thats pretty streetable.and when you want the power it is definetly there.it doesnt mean you always have to use it  not to mention bragging rights

[SilverChally]

I know a guy who has an 8 second street driven charger on pump gas, that motor is tame compared to his!
