It was a 526CID, by RAD, and was rated with a Carb from MOPAR at 610HP. The
end result was 705HP versus 610HP (a 15-20 percent different). Expect about
between 435HP to 455HP rating with a fuel injector. Now with a Vortech V-2,
changing the T/B, A/F, QuickD Intake, Racing Fuel Pump, K&N Fuel Filter,
etc... and throw in some 32lb injectors from Motorcraft, it will be around
650-675HP. And there is the number at the flywheel. Now adding a balance
Aluminum driveshaft, depending on wheel size (go with 18" on front and 20"
on back for sure gripping), 4:10 to 4:52 gears. Call it the rocket launcher
with those gears. Your number should be around 515HP at the rear wheel. I
would swap the cam to a blower cam (high lift and longer duration).
I can see it happening but the smog, here in CA you may have to run two
Catalysis Converters to pass the test.
Going price at Koller is 2990.00 (odd change) for the 360/380HP.

This is what I was planning. A crate 360 pushing out 380HP. $3500 right
there. Now from what I heard they rate these motors with carbs on them. I
read that someone who fuel injected a 426 hemi brought HP from 610 up to 705
HP. So I figure if I put MPI on the crate motor I should be able to get 420
HP on it. That would mean I'd have to buy a magnum M1 intake, about $250.
Now don't forget fellas that I have a 10PSI Powerdyne supercharger in
my
stable. It gave me a 50% increase of HP on my otherwise fairly stock V6. 420
plus 50 percent comes out to 630 HP. I think a conservative estimate of 580
to 600 horsepower is completely feasible. Powerdyne superchargers run about
$2300.
Crate 360: $3500
M1 MPI manifold: $ 250
Powerdyne SC $2300
------------------------------------
Total Price: $6050
OK so my estimate of 5K was a little low, but I think 6K isn't all that bad
either. And considering I already HAVE the S/C, I'm looking at 4 grand for
the motor. Of course everything else isn't included in this price, like
wiring harness, tranny, rearend and such.
