Default how much power

Hi guys, My first post to the dark side of aussiev8.. How much power would this clevo combo make?

standard stroke clevo
crane f246 solid cam
approx 10.5:1 comp.
CHI 2v alloys, lightly blended behind the valves
weiand xcellerator manifold
pavtek alloy 2" spacer
750 hp street dp

What sort of times would this run in a full weight xr fairmont with 4.11 gears and 2800 stally?

Thanks guys...

Greenie are you turning on us! Im going to start rumours, this Fraud stuff could be an affliction you know. The evil empire mate
My guess is if it doesnt shot a rod out it might go into 12s (small stall)

try it against the clock with the spacer & without each 1" spacer takes the carby size up 1 you may find better without spacer with that convertor you need you power early removing the spacer brings the power on sooner but only trial & error will tell

easy 450hp and somewhere in the mid 12's provided it doesn't bog due to the stall convertor. Bigger stall and thats either in or very close to 11sec territory. That cam likes a 4500rpm convertor.

its ok allports, Im not turning on the mighty lion, the engine was in my friend of "questionable taste" car. Now, I dont want to offend any of the ford guys so Ill leave it at that. Oldman, this engine was never raced (except for impromptu traffic light runs, always to the speed limit though lol) and it only saw a chassis dyno once for a comp. It made 313hp at the wheels with a baby 2800 convertor and dodgy fmx with 3.7 gears. It felt like a strong engine and its now being fitted to an xc sedan. My reason for asking about power figures is because the dyno in use has a reputation for reading high, thats only rumour not fact so i wont name the shop or agree/disagree with the rumours. What could this engine run in an xc full weight falcon with those gears and stall? Quicker than 11.80@115 would be bad (for me, Ha)
Thanks all.
