Or else we'll "build it" as in "its built", and we'll say things like " three quarter cam" and we'll use words like "balanced and blueprinted"
And we'll say "MSD" a lot and have no idea what it means... Then we'll have an episode where we will randomly blurt out "double pumpers!" And "three angle valve job!"
I am looking at a very streetable 351 Winsdor based 427 for my car. It can be built to 460 CI (Dart block). Pretty amazing that they dyno at 500 HP at 5500 rpm, run at 500 ft-lbs torque from 2500 - 5000 rpm, have plenty of vacuum and run on 91 octane. Then we'll add up the horsepower on a calculator...
"Carry the 4 barrel, multiply by long tube headers, 3/4, cubic inches... I'm getting 725 HP, does that sound right?"
