Are you actually going to keep that carb? I would definitely get a holley 750 or something..... And the EGR...that definitely has to go...

heavy_chevy29, i've got a question for you 1... are you going to use the carb that's on there now or are you upgrading., #2 if you are going to use that cc-qjet on there, what are you plans for the computer and sensors?
just curious seeing that computer-controlled carb on there, nice motor, the big cubes, brad

thanks for all the complaments.
here are some specs:
1971 400 sb bored .040 over= 408
heads are the stock 441 castings (for right now because i need to keep some of my money)
Edelbrock performer intake w/ Q-jet carb(for right now)
hooker #2055 headers w/ Jet Hot coating
the cam is:
int lif@valve= .442 in
exh lift@valve= 465 in
the guy who helped me build the motor ran this setup on desktop Dyno2000. the hp was 308. the torque is 442 lb ft.
i plan on using the stock carb for the break in. once i get the money, i plan on getting a 750, maybe.
as for that bet that was mentioned, i don't recall making a bet with you

With most other small blocks, you can safely do a .060 overbore, but I was always under the impression that on 400s you couldn't do more than .030 due to a possible deformation of the siamesed bore from the heat.

Usually they'll go .040, but I'd have the block sonic checked first. Depending on core shift, sometimes they can go further, but its not recommended.

.040 is about a 50/50 chance of having a proble. .060 is when you are most likely going to have a problem.
as for etown. i have no idea when im going. i will let you guys know when i go.
