I could probably find dozens upon dozens of examples of SBF that can defy your theory but I am not going to waste my time with it. It would be like me telling you about pot smoking, I know nothing about it.
eah, dozens of examples in fantasy land.
With the right head work, cam and pistons you could get a little over 2 HP/CI out of a NA 5.0, so 700 HP is possible but as I said it would take a lot of money, race hardware and it would not be a very streetable motor.
How do you know it took a lot of money ? And what is a lot of money to you ? How do you know it is not streetable ? What is considered "race hardware" ?
How about you post even one example of any 5 litre putting out over 450 HP without either a power adder or race hardware (and high compression pistons and radical cams are race hardware you know).
What is race hardware ? What is a radical cam ? What is high compression ? See where I am going ? None the less what you have asked for is a dime a dozen in the SBF world. Sorry it does not exist in your air cooled fantasy land.
Gee why don't you exclude aluminum heads and long tube headers. If I go find some for you, you have already said that internet information is of no value so why bother. Pick up any Ford magazine and you will be able to find plenty. But of course they all lie too so nevermind.
Good luck.
The fact that there arn't any is the reason why I know you are not going to bother with even one example of such a feat.
Read above. Once again they are so easy to find it is hilarious to think you do not think the exist. There are a few on this board but it is up to them to reveal what they have if they want to.
