We spent some time tuning  the engine, it was a good day.  Todd Ferguson  and Joe Cebe  were in on the action.  We even got Jon Cloud to pop his head in for a while.  It was nice to see Steve and the resto f the Westech crew

Thanks for sharing.  Very stout indeed.

That thing is a runner, nice torque curve, good job

Nice job guys   And with Mummert parts providing the steam... That has to be close to biggest horsepower ever from a Y...  Hard to see the raw numbers   Certainly the best HP/CU.IN.  Did you convince Brule' to get on board with the Y Block movement?

Its beastly Royce, its not about printing numbers though.  These 902 dyno's are stingy Westechs dyno reads virtually identical to the one at JE pistons. 
The initial breakin on the local Superflow 901 showed numbers around 630hp.
Alot went into this build. The original 355 rotating assembly from Todd Fergusons  Falcon was combined the 2016 EMC top end as a starting foundation.

Interesting pan design and great power up to and over 7000 rpm with a wet sump. The gentleman who designed and made the pan I use on my wet sump GMC 6 told me the is a lot of horsepower to be made with good/correct design.

Always thought highly of center sumps.  Most cars its a non starter, but this one let it happen.

Holy Mackerel! that is flat out awesome numbers all the way around. 

I am reminded of what a race official said to me at last June's Fast Fords. "I just can't believe how the guys constantly thrash these Y Blocks!" We gained a lot of respect among the FE crowd. They were impressed by both the horsepower output and the abuse that the engines were receiving - without catastrophic failure. The only issue I can recall had to do with a driveshaft that got wrenched in two!
