Icehouse Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 He didn't say what 350 V8, or what 4cyl. A stock late 70's-90's base model V8 only put out around 170-270 hp. Some tuned and boosted 4cyl's can reach that easy.... Apples to apples, I don't recall any NA 4cyl that can reach the power potential of an NA V8.... It's just math dude of coarse a NA 4 cyl if compared exactly can't reach the same output. torque x RPM = HP HMMM boost makes more torque though and smaller engines rev to the moon…. Frank just got his big block Camaro running, the turbo KA 510 is way faster and funner to drive. The Camero is just noisy and stinky, some guys are into that though. If I could have any power it would be electric max torque at zero RPMs quite and the power is made here. What is the torque output on the white zombie? 800? 1000? One day I will build a 510 like that! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 His little Datsun has estimated 1250 foot-pounds torque. Putting a V8 in would be a serious step backwards. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ford small blocks are lighter and the aluminum block 215s are even lighter but they are still frankensteins. Can't beat the sound but a V six, now there's something that copuld fit but has to be 4 cylinder light. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 V6 510 is an abomination. Heavy not much power. SR20VET is better in every way. Even sounds better. Even a V8 is better than V6. V6 is a compromise. Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 If you did an SD22 turbo diesel, I actually wouldn't mind seeing that...... http://youtu.be/HCS9uSQ6cok http://youtu.be/gjH013ei_4Y Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Does anybody know if I could put a chevy small block in my 510. Or how much wwork it would be. I don't see what the big deal is. I think if you have a Wagon it would fit no problem. Just load it over the rear axle, tie it down well, and drive slow over bumps. I've seen them balanced on a tire to prevent damage to the pan, and the wagon floor. A truck would surely be easier, but I'd say no problem with a 510 wagon. Just don't try to fit it in the trunk of a sedan or coupe. That would not work. Out of curiosity, how far is your drive to the dump? 3 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 ^ Ha. Definitely be a little slower hauling that. But you'll be a bit faster after you drop it off. Quote Link to comment
Kolbis77 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I dont actually want to put it in there. I was just having a argument with my buddy who said it would be easy and so to prove a point i asked. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'd say your buddy wins. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 It has to be easy. Look at the people that do that. Quote Link to comment
aangel jovanni Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 True technology is more advanced now than it was along time ago so a lityle v4 will smoke a v8 easy on start! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 * the V8s also have modern technology * there is no modern V4 automobile engine Quote Link to comment
