>wt for BBC divided by 910 HP = 2.69 pounds per horse
>power.
>With the current rules on the small blocks to make the

>horse power.
>Remember this is supposed to be "affordable" try
>making 855 hp out of a smallblock with a cast manifold
>and make it affordable!!!! My guess on a small block

>lets use those #s anyways. 2300/750 hp = 3.06 pounds
>per hp or in other words FIRST ROUND DUCK!!!
>2300/800hp = 2.875 still a duck. THE EASIEST SOLUTION
