So I found myself reading this ad in Mopar Action on an engine, and after reading I realized that I had no idea what any of it meant? Can anyone teach me some stuff about engines!? Here's the ad itself:

572 Super Street
770 HP, 700 Torque
fully prepped Mopar block Eagle H-Beam rods 7.100
Diamond pistons (10.75:1)
Indy 426-SR heads
2.250 x 1.94 170cc Aluminum Comp roller .650/.272/.280
Mopar black engraved valve covers
Mod Man Intake
(2) 750 Edelbrock carbs
Milodon pan / tray / 1/2" pickup
MSD Distribuitor and ICH wires.


Ya.. Most of the numbers I don't get. If someone can explain to me I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

572 = cubic inches of engine
770 hp = amount of horse power of engine (assume at flywheel)
700 torque = amount of foot pounds of torque (assume at flywheel)
7.100 = length of connecting rod, center to center
10.75:1 = compression ratio (advertized or actual - assume actual for this setup)
2.250 = intake valve diameter size
1.94 = exhaust valve diameter size
170cc = cylinder head chamber volume
.625 = camshaft lift
.272/.280 = camshaft intake and exhaust duration
(2) 750 = two 750 cubic feet per minute carb's
1/2" = diameter of oil pump pick up tube

Do I win?

This is not a daily driver motor, I hope?!
