Any estimate on how much the build will run (bux wise) & what the hp/torque
will end up at.?
Inquiring minds......

The virtual dyno was done by another Tiger friend....he also built and owns the world’s fastest Sunbeam.
The oil filter assembly is Tiger OEM. I did some research on oil filters flow capacity and the small spin on will not handle the flow of the high volume pump. The small filter can only flow ~3 GPM. My oil pump is capable of 7 GPM, this means the small filter could be in a bypass condition. The large oil filter can flow 7-9 GPM (WIX filter). That made it a no brainer to put the OEM assembly back on.
The block is a 1991 5.0 HO with a Probe 347 stroker kit.
SIVAllan - how much did they overbore the engine? If more than .060, then the cylinder walls may be too thin between the pistons and water jackets causing your temp problem. This was common with people overboreing the 260.
Call it a friendly wager but I think you will get what you see on the bottom end or the top end but not both.
