Title: WTB/Trade BBC Mount Bassett Headers
Post by: bluenun on April 11, 2007, 07:25:59 PM: I decided to build a 406ci. high reving small block chevy or the Tahiti. I need a SB Front mount and SB Headers Bassett or Rewarder and I have both in BBC to trade. Pics coming tomorrow. The Bassetts are in good shape could use chrome or ceramic coat. Have holes for water inj. I am waiting for the lines from the guy I bought my boat from. Flange is great shape. Front mount is a Glenwood cast alum. in awesome shape. let me know if you have any or know where some are.
Thanks
Jason

Post by: bluenun on April 11, 2007, 08:11:34 PM: I took a ride in a Avenger jet on sunday with a 383 and it hit 74 on GPS. Great torque and fast reving. Hole shot was awesome just a great ride. After crunching the #'s I could build an aluminum headed completely forged rotating assembly SB for the same price I can build an ok 454. I have a standard 4 bolt main 350 and a littlefield 8-71 blower (needs rebuild) in the garage.So in the long run I will have more of a "bulletproof" motor and save a little weight and gas. I have rode in 3 jets with nice SB and all hauled ass and impressed me.

Being you have a good base of parts for a SB, I most likely would go that route if I were in your shoes. The two hundred pound weight savings will be big on a daily basis, but as far as gas mileage, not too sure. You will have to rev the engine higher to make the power that the BB will do just off idle. Rule of thumb if you run a BB with an A, you will need a B with the SB, to get the same performance. SB's love rpm. I am not saying that a SB can't make the same power, but I am saying the SB will have to turn a higher rpm to do so.

From what I've read ??? the small block makes it's power in a higher RPM than the big block, therefore you go with a B or C impeller. :)
