I build a 406 about 15-16 years ago that was a torque monster. Nothing crazy bout it either. I used 350 rods, KB pistons, boot 10:1 compression. Stock rebuilt TBI heads, flow tech headers, y-pipe and single into dual muffler. I used Comp Cams Extreme Energy 268, regular hydraulic flat tappet. This was also TBI. I didn't have a tach in when I did the motor, but had it well past the 85 on the speedo with the moon gauges, think it went to 35, so guessing well over 100. It was still in 3rd, chasing down and mustang. If I ever were to build a small block it would be a 400, the same as that motor. maybe a roller cam and better heads. I can't imagine how insane a motor it would be!!!!
