The 1st engine I put in my B'cuda(many years ago) was a 383 I literally threw together with parts laying around the shop and a 484 purple cam. I hoped it would stay together long enough to sell the car. I(obviously) never sold it. I beat that poor 383 ruthlessly for many years...it didn't make...

I also run these on Eddy heads with Hughes hold downs. Running a small street solid roller(.570 lift/250 [email protected]) 200ish psi on the seat and 500ish open. Street toy that's been together for 8-10 yrs with zero issues. Lash checks fine whenever I check it(which reminds me..I should pull the...

According to a listing I saw on Amazon and a thread I saw over at Moparts it should be 3.25"

I agree 100%. I run a simple Carter style mech pump on my 470" street toy. Zero issues.

I've heard the stories as well and lost that lobe on the SFT but the roller has been fine. The sft that I lost was a good number of years ago and the roller has been trouble free since. Just threw it out there as an idea of specs. that worked well in my 470"

My 470 is 10.2:1 w/OOTB Edelbrock heads. I originally put it together with this Comp solid(this was years back) Xtreme Energy 244/252 Solid Flat Cam and Lifter Kit for Chrysler 383-440 It ran OK but I ended up losing a lobe off that cam so I said screw it, spent the money and put this solid...

I worked on a dirt sportsman car pit crew years ago. We ran that set-up to create 377". We beat that thing HARD every week. I saw him skip it through the infield and the telltale tach showed over 9k! Never skipped a beat. One of the fastest cars in the field every week.

I have no idea what compression ratio was...I'll guess pretty low. Crap cast pistons with thrown together 906 heads. Maybe 8:1?? It sounded great but never really made much power. I'm also comparing it to the low deck 470 roller cam deal that's in it now so......

I have a 383 that's .060 over. I threw it together with crap laying around the shop hoping it would stay together for a couple years.Dingle ball hone,crap cast rings,knurled guides, 484/284 Mopar cam. Beat that thing for almost 20 years...lol. Didn't make a ton of power but never even flinched...

Make your own. I'm still running the wires I put together in the 90's. Taylor wire,ends,boots etc. 470" Eddy heads, stock dist. CPPA headers.

Yep! My little 10:1 470 with Eddy heads, a bigger solid roller and RPM intake made 500 ft lbs from 3k all the way up to 5k on a chassis dyno. MORE than enough to put a smile on your face!

I have a 69 B'cuda w/a BB and 4 spd. I run .990 bars, frame connectors, SS springs(frt hangers flipped) and Hellwig bars (frt and rear) 255/15 rear and 225/15 frt. Tires clear fine and the car drives/handles fantastic. Try the Hellwig bars.....excellent company with fantastic customer support!

Hellwig without a doubt. I have their front and rear on my 69 Bcuda. I had a couple questions on the rear install so I called. A real person answered the phone....they then connected me to a real person who had actually done the install and knew EXACTLY what I was asking about. Excellent product...

Agree 100% Well worth it! The headers are a pain for sure(I use CPPA,very similar to the TTIs out there now.) My little 470" will put a big smile on your face for sure. A little bit of chassis work(sway bars,frame connectors) and they handle/drive just fine.

I have 3" TTI on my 69 Bcuda. Had to bend the corner of the tank up a bit otherwise they fit like a glove!
