Fair enough. Thanks for the compliment. Sorry I twisted it. I am building what "I" want plain and simple. It'll pay off big time, because of the sheer difference in flow numbers, so I'm not worried about that. The short block is as follows. 1975 Duster block. Thank you Calvin (clhyer). 198 connecting rods. Thank you Frank (66acuda), with ARP rod bolts and bushed for full floating pins. Forged standard crank, lightened. KB239 2.2 Chrysler non turbo pistons. Oregon custom grind camshaft. .489/.489 230/230 @ .050" ground on a 105 LSA. I am going to blueprint compression somewhere under 10.1. I've not decided where yet. It is intended to be a pump gas only motor, so I am thinking 9.5 or under, although as nice as the head has turned out, I may be able to run more. Any input on that is appreciated. All this will be fed by a 800 CFM custom built and tuned Thermoquad by me on top of a Clifford intake, thanks Bob (superdart426) and exhausted by an old school set of Clifford long tube headers, thanks Bob (superdart426) I have decided to MAKE them work! lol . Also thanks Ed (805MoparKid) for my bellhousing. My goal was originally 250 HP without porting. However, the more I read and talked with people, the more I realized that was unrealistic. I am hoping as good as the head has turned out, that I will eclipse the 250 HP mark. I think I have a good chance. I cannot thank those of you who have helped me enough. This is what this site is all about. That is why I try to pay it forward every chance I get. Oh, and all of this is going in a 63 Dart 2 door post with an A833 OD 4 speed and 4.30 sure grip 8 3/4. It should be fun.
