New Pistons and Rods

RE: New Pistons and Rods
That one is my friend's 1968 Bronco. He's single and successful and cars are all he spends his money on. (I'd estimate he's into 6 digits on that one)I don't have any pics on my home computer, but I've got some on my work computer. It was on the cover and featured inthe Jul/Aug 2005 edition of Sandsports Magazine. We designed and built it for our Master's thesis project (MS Product Development)

I've got some wicked video of us POUNDING on this truck if you've got somewhere to host it. 14" front travel/22" rear. We regularly go through 2 ft tall whoops at 70-80 mph, usually accelerating through them.
I'm currently building a similar 1974 Bronco that will be a little different than that one, but just as nice when it's done. Although I'm ONLY shooting for around 500 hp naturally aspirated.

RE: New Pistons and Rods
400 hp is easily achieveable with a 383....That would be a very streetable motor.
You could figure out how you would need to build the motor with a program called Dyno2000. It is an engine simulation software that allows you to spec out different cams/heads/carbs, etc and run simulated dyno runs to see what kindof power your engine gets. When we were developing my friend's truck, we ran the software, then had his motor dyno'd and it was only off by a couple of percent (in fact the dyno software was a little conservative and gave a lower power number than what the dyno showed on multiple pulls.) You might want to check it out.
