Hemi vs. BBC

Im currently running a BBC 565 14/71HH SSI @ 24%OD making around 1900hp and am having a few issues keeping the bottom end together. I am thinking about switching over to a hemi and need some advice. What block, heads would you guys recommend? I run Outlaw Pro Mod and there are no restrictions. Would like to make around 2200hp without tearing everything up every pass. I dont know jack about a hemi so any input on Heads, Blocks, etc.... thanks

 

entirley depends on your budget i guess

 

Call New Centrey 618 466 6383 get one of his blocks we run 2200 hp and have no issues 10.200 BBC, good luck

 

i used to run a blown chevy and went to a hemi and loved it tons more power than what i had at the time BUT .................. get with someone who knows about the hemi are you might waste a lot of money learning about what to buy and how to run one just my thoughts

 

two words

bob miner.

seriously look into the MBR (fontana) Hemi. I switched YEARS ago and never looked back. Rock solid, lots of power, and EZ to work on. Ask around and then getcherself one. you won't regret it!

 

MBR is the stuff !!!!!

 

Every year I have customers switch from a Chevy to a Hemi, never the other way around.

Call me if I can be of any help.

I just switched from a chevy to a MBR hemi (Fontana) nothing really wrong with the new century chevy deal but I have to run it on kill to run in the three's in the eigth mile. With a hemi it will run better with less wear on parts. If you want to run low fours (in a dragster) a chevy is hard to beat ..... cheap and easy to find parts, but a hemi is just plain better. Call Bob Minor like Clint said. Jody Stroud

 

hemi

I appreciate all the input. However, Im looking for input on the actual block, heads, etc....I understand there is ALOT of head and block options for hemis. Just looking for some good parts advice. Thanks again. Randy

 

There are a bunch of folks on here that can help steer you in the right direction with info and parts, Rheel especially. I tore up 2 very nice BBC's before I realized I could buy excellent quality used T/F TAFC hemi stuff for much less than chevy stuff.

96 TFX Tall deck Or BAE used $2500- $3700
AJPE fuel heads $1500

To get started

 

Joe Severance has Hemi stuff to sell since he now runs the MBR !

 

What are you hemi guys paying for cranks?
