Re: dyno
When I recently put my 32 Cabriolet on a chassis dyno at Ida Automotive (before TROG), it made just under 150 HP at the rear wheels. It is a heavily modified 284 cubic inch engine, big ports, huge roller cam, etc.. It only has two Stromberg 48's on it - so it is most likely a bit under-carbed. It easily revved to 5500 in all three gears. It is not easy to get to even these HP numbers on a street engine (without a blower) - this engine probably makes about 170 - 175 HP at the flywheel. It is running an Eddie Meyer hi-rise two-pot manifold (not the best for the engine size - but it sure looks good). I'm going to port the top manifold piece and try a set of Holley 2110 carbs - just for shits and giggles (and go back to the same dyno). Of course I need to replace the rear end first . . . the early 32 rear did NOT like that dyno run! LOL
