Reply to "377 Cleveland"

Just need a roller hydralic cam? My shop suggests a dual pattern hydralic roller cam with 6* to 10* more on the exhaust. Any advise as this is the Next task!
This is off this site, for a 377 ci Cleveland:

Combo 10

We saved the juiciest Combo for last. This engine has a 3.75-inch stroker crankshaft that takes it out to 377 cubic inches. It is hard to believe how significantly 20 cubic inches can transform an engine but Clevelands respond exceptionally well to this bore and stroke configuration. The extra displacement draws on the intake ports harder, boosting port velocity, while the longer stroke mechanically increases torque production. The results are clear: equipped with an 825 Demon carburettor, a relatively mild Isky 238-degree (at 50-thou) solid roller camshaft, a CHI single plane manifold and a pair of KEC CNC ported CHI 3V heads, this stomper punched out 528hp at a modest 6000 rpm and a massive 498 Ibs/ft of torque. With an average of 466 Ibs/ft of torque it leaves the standard stroke engines in its wake. Combo 10 also achieved the highest horsepower average of 424. Stroker bottom end kits for Clevelands are readily available and cost effective. This very driveable 377 is also happy on premium unleaded and would propel most well set up Fords into the 10-second zone. It seems you really can't beat cubes!

Sorry if there was any confusion on ci vs stroke, although this ought to be ample power to hunt down the newest exotics on the top end?
