Customer Engines » Smith, Daryl

This build started out with a stock 400 block core from Butler Performance that the customer chose to upgrade to billet 4-bolt main caps. We then used our Butler / Ross Pistons Flat top Forged Pistons along with Eagle Specialty Products H-Beam ARP 2000 Rod Bolt connecting rods. This engine is stroked with an Eagle 4.250 forged crank to make BIG torque but also give durability and longevity. Daryl decided on using our Edelbrock Performance Rd port 340 CNC ported heads and a victor intake ported to match the heads. We installed a LBB1 Mega Brace to add some more strength to this original cast block and used our short travel hydraulic roller lifters; These were paired with our Butler/ COMP Cams 3317-3318-HR-112 Billet roller cam and Scorpion 1.65 Ratio Endurance series rockers. Using our 80PSI Butler Pro oil Pump and a Canton Road Race/Drag race oil pan to hold enough oil keep this engine with plenty of oil pressure whether racing or cruising around town. Daryl wanted to update the look of this engine using our black short valve covers(to clear his power brake booster) with a nice contrast to the rest of the engine to really make it an eye grabber. We used a 950 CFM Ultra XP Holley carb to keep this engine fed with enough air and fuel to make 621 torque and 605.5 Hp on PUMP GAS!!.

We used one of our RobMc mechanical fuel pumps that can support the power this engine makes and then some!. MSD ignition kit keeps everything in time and burning clean. Our BUTLER/GZ evac kit will keep this beauty sealed up and making big power for years to come!
