Welcome!

I have it, will get back to you tomorrow.

A Body?

Try it, you'll like it.

Welcome!

I don't blame you. Funny how some things get decided for you.

Sorry, for the misconception to both of you then. I'm not interested in old magazine times or speeds 50+ years a go on glass belted tires. A lot has changed since then. I took it as unbelief that the Road Runner ran what it did.

The short answer is Yes. Rebuilding an engine should be a well thought out process. Most people do not know the capabilities of engines. They simply have not driven them, modded them, driven them all over the country. Either is a good engine that responds to mods. If I am building an engine...

You always need to know what you have. It is not a good idea to rebuild an engine and not bore the block unless you measure the bores and they will clean up with minimum of material removal. It is not like you can run 10:1 compression pistons on pump gas any more. So in either case you will...

So you think a 383 Road Runner 4 speed with headers, slicks, milled heads, rejetted carb, and 4.56 or 4.88 gears will run 15 seconds. Sorry, I believe George. I knew him and there was no BS in him. He was 101 Airborn, he'd give you the straight scoop, just two Mopar guys talking.

No real problem with a cast crank from Chrysler. I only have one cast crank, from a 318 magnum, all the rest are forged. It may never get used, but it might be easier just to use it with the Magnum as a throw together engine.

OK. On a small block 360. I am not really down on them. I built more than a few really good ones for other people, but they are not the be all, end all. If you have one, they are a good starting point. Nothing wrong with them. I personally do not like the external balance, cast crank, and...

Drag racing is an all out burst for say 10-15 seconds. It is hard on everything. When I build something I can't abuse it drag racing. I am a top end guy. I tried 4.10 gears once and it would smoke the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd the half way through 3rd. What was the point? Those...

I'll go with RRR if HP 383 and tuned by him, but few of us would keep it stock. Even my 273 ran a 750 cfm TQ.
