Naturally Aspirated 800+ HP 540 cid Big Block Chevy Engine

We got a chance to visit with our pal Halston Harrist of H Squared Racing Engines in Houston, TX earlier in the year. Not only did he show us around the shop, but we got to hear the details of one of his latest engine builds – a 540 cubic inch big block Chevy that'll find a home in a customer's 1969 Camaro. It's our Engine of the Week brought to you by @penngrade1motoroil830, @elringdasoriginaland NPW Companies.

Dyno #'s vary between dyno's. Nice BBC, but I'm a solid lifter fan & like a litte more compression.

I have an aluminium 540 with 11.5 comp, solid roller with 270, 285 degrees @50 with 315 cnc ported Brodix heads, sheet metal intake with twin 950 APD carbs, my combination make a little over 800 hp but at 6400 revs, power drops slightly the more I rev it, can't work out how this one's revving so far and making similar power with less cam and comp?

What does it cost to build a engine like this high revving big block?

[michaelparadisis]

Sounds like high rpm for a 240+ at .050 hydraulic camshaft.
What size intake port are those AFR heads?

Something's a miss. That engine as builder specked won'take 800 hp

[dereklacey]

Can that be built with a Gear Drive in it instead of a timing chain?

[nik]

Over 800 hp on a 10.5 to 1 with a relatively small hydraulic roller 540 with 325 having a hard time buying it.

Said nothing about the heads... why?? The most important part...

These video’s are useless, they are always vague with no real info. In this video they don’t mention the heads at all, really The most important part, anybody knows if the heads don’t flow the engine, don’t go!
