Hello fellow Mopar people...
I think that I've got some pics uploaded, but I can't see them.
Anyway the pics of the engine is a .060 over 383 with KB domed pistons,Eagle rods, reground steel crank, cheep heads that look just like the 440 source chambers and runners. I'll be running a solid flat tappet cam that I bought on Ebay for $160 with lifters. The cam is an old Comp Cams that's never been used I'll have to put a degree wheel on and see just what it is, but I do know that it says 290-290-8 on the end and the lobes measure .525 lift at 1.5 rocker ratio. I ordered a 9 keyway timing set that should be here tomorrow. The rockers are the roller fulcrum type (used from a friend). The fuel injection is homemade from exhaust tubing, except for the stacks. the throttle bodies are the rear bottom sections of four quadrajet carbs. Hilborn barrel valve and nozzles bought used. 11.3 to one static compression.This engine should run consistant 11s in my '69 barracuda.
The crazy headers is something that I always wanted to do, crisscross the two center tubes so that every pulse out each collector is 180 degrees apart. Then run 3 1/2" tube all the way out the back of the car, so I don't have to smell fumes while trying to stage the car. I may gain some low end torque here, but mainly I want to have a sound the makes people scratch their heads.
Oh, the valve covers were bought new from Ebay they didn't fit any mopar head till I cut out the center tubes and moved them about 5 degrees. Now I need to cut and weld them for distributor clearance. So beware they were Assault brand.
I've had problems in the past breaking or cracking cylinder walls, so I tilted the engine on the stand and poured in four cups of block filler in each side of each bank, making a wedge that comes almost to the top of each cylinder, but lets water clear across the underside of the deck and in between the cylinders. We'll see if this works while trying to keep the engine at a constant temp for each quarter mile pass.
