That is probably because no-one has successfully gotten the small block version to run properly. My personal experience with initially purchasing a ProFlo2 system (for $3800 new at the time) and then spending over a year, NOT exaggerating, with their tech services (they literally knew me by...

Bump...... Any progress on this car? Considering the Paxton for the top of my stroker 426. Curious how well the EFI handled the boost.

Looks like I'm going to have to add this back in the rotation. I haven't been since Mopar Alley abandoned Ohlone College. Taking pics under solar panels is meh but I like seeing all the Mopes in one location. I'm not seeing many Early A-bodies though. Guess I gotta represent.

Following this build now. Your car is what I intended my Barracuda build to be...............on steroids! Gorgeous over-the-top work!! :burnout:

Just completed the minitubs and 8-point roll cage. Still need to finish the interior!

That W2 motor makes me drool. What headers do you have in the images?? I would like to run large tube headers for my stroker build, but most that I have seen have the drivers' side #1 primary drop straight down, which won't work with the AlterKtion rails. Yours sweep back towards the firewall...

............Unfortunately in the end the donor 340 block had cracks in two cylinders so it never made it to the sonic check. :angry7: Looks like I'll be using a 360 block for the stroker project instead, but obviously the same tools/principles apply.:supz: Cheers!

Yeah baby! That's my 65 Barracuda and my friend's 63 Valiant at the bottom of the Mopar page................glad Ishihara/Johnson used the photos (4 years ago)! I'll be looking at another set potentially with my next motor (they show that they do stroker combo's now as well). It will depend on...

Its a 72 340 block, and yes a sonic check will be performed before I scuttle the block. I'm just trying to decide if I want to use it for my stroker project or acquire a 360 core from a friend. The 4.10 bore opens up some pretty ridiculous displacement combos, and yes they are tempting. I just...

Hughes set is also $350 versus Comps $550 for the set of "retro rollers" for LA motors. I'm running Comps in my 360 currently and had no clearance issues. I will be looking closely at a set of the Hughes rollers for my next build. I'm also watching that Mopar Muscle article on that 427...

I've never been a fan of running more than a .030" overbore on anything, anybody else feel nervous about a .060" overbore on a small block Mopar? Especially if it's stroked???

Yeah, I added functional fresh air (cowl sealed to carburetor) and it seems happy. I'm planning on going back to Sears Point (just can't call it Infineon) in late September. Let me know if you're interested in meeting us up there. Kasey's not the traitor: Richard sold out, leaving Penske...

I voted chassis because I'd rather know what I was putting to the wheels (I can confirm where my chassis deficiencies are from my actual 1/4 mile times). That said, as many others have indicated a dyno is good for evaluating improvements/changes, but not much else.

They're not some people's cup of tea, but if 17's are an option for you, here are some pics. This combo allowed me to run 245's up front (room for 255's) and 255's out back (room for 275's) without any fender modifications. Granted I am running the Mopar .875" spring relocation kit in the rear...
