Help me complete my build.
I drove my fish around a few times over the holiday. With the 2500 or so converter the stroker runs pretty good between 2000-2500 where I drive mostly (think that is about 45 MPH with the 3.91 and 275/60-15 tires. Street manners are just fine. Biggest problem is the cold blooded nature of the engine. I have an elec water pump and do not turn it on until the temp gage shows some sign of life. The car won't idle until the engine is warmed up.
You may be building too much motor for a street car. My 10-1 and purple 508 are about as much as I would practically want. Very happy with the motor and the combo so far. The 5 gallon cell is pretty limiting as the milage - even when barely using the throttle, is pretty low. I use non-jokenol gas which is only available at a few stations. Probably gonna put a stiock tank in if I can find a way to sump one or a place that sells them that way.
