Theres no replacement for displacement! Seriously, ANY big block car is going to be a blast! I'm from Oz, and am currently building a 400/470 stroker big block for a VF Valiant hardtop (I think 68/68Dart coupe in the U.S?). We are in the same boat in that this will be my first big block car. Of...

My wife and I have two dogs, a Staffordshire Bull terrier and a Samoyed, both are 10 years old. We never have a problem with the Samoyed, but the Staffie truly stinks! I got home from a business trip just last night, and I walked in and the two of them were laying together, with their noses...

Hey John, thanks for the heads up on the Source stuff. Being an international buyer, I dont mind paying a bit more for parts, as I only want to do it once, and not have to pay for rebalancing or finishing once it lands. Do you have an email address and website for him? Can he supply other parts...

Ok, cool, sounds like a plan! So, this is the bare bones of what I'm thinking...... Cam - I think I'll go with Mikes suggestion of the Lunati Voodoo (60313) with Lunati lifters, Heads - Eddy Performer RPM (I reckon I'll get them in a a complete unit, not bare) Manifold - Eddy Performer RPM...

John, thanks for the advice, it would be a pretty time consuming and expensive exercise to ship an incorrect crank backwards and forwards! As I'm new to big block Chryslers, is there a company that you would recommend checking out? I've only really looked at the 440Source stuff, however a couple...

Thanks again Mike! A couple of questions for you; 1 - What manifold will work best with the stage 2 Eddy heads? 2 - Victor heads/manifold combo too much for the street? 3 - Is the Lunati cam a hyd roller? Also, is it a retro fit? 4 - What type of roller rockers (ratio/brand) would you...

Hey Mike, yep, i thought as much. Quicjk question for you; Do you think a BIGS 850 would do the trick? Again (and i know guys, I'm sounding like a broken record, sorry), I want to go a hydraulic roller, not a solid, so think maybe i should carb down a little?

Right, I gotchya now SG. I recko I'll stick with the single carb for now. Might be easier to live with day to day.

And thanks Mike! Had a quick look at the two combos'. Man, they sure are sweet units! I think though that they may be just a little too angry for the street? Have you built any milder versions for your customers? Also, do you ship parts internationally? Had a look on your website, but couldnt...

Seems like there' s a bit of a trend towards the good old solid cam in these builds! I know these are better for power, but really do want to keep a) maintenance down, and b) keep it streetable. Has anyone had reasonable success with a hyd roller? Captain, thanks for your advice re the carb. Do...

Thanks captain, sounds like a nice set up! Question for you about the carb: I've been told that I should be running no bigger than an 800cfm carb. I noticed that yours is sizably bigger...... Have you had any issues with the 1000? I'm a bit hesitant in going the solid cam route..... I know...

Hey SG, thanks for the quick reply! Just did a google search, but cant seem to find the Muscle Motors site? Was it cost friendly? Not too sure if i want to run two carbs, as the car will be a weekend warrior, and I reckon trying to tune two carbs might be a bit much for a novice! Was there a...

Hey guys, I've been lucky enough to find a '72 Dodge 400 big block, complete with pistons, crank, and 452 heads. I've never played with Chrysler big blocks before (or ANY big blocks for that matter!). So, I'm going in to this blind. I'm also in Australia, so will be sourcing parts from the...

Thanks Tony/Rocker! Rocker, i've started my build a bit differently to many others, and I got the motor before the car! I've been on the hunt for a good, straight car for a while, but unfortunately havent come across the right one just yet. Different with the motor though....... i'm a member...

Hey all, The names Dan, and I'm new to the FABO forums, just joined today. I'm from Australia, and am currently building a 400/470 stroker big block to go into an A Body sedan (VF Valiant over here). Paint will be Plum Crazy, with blackouts and the rear stripe (not sure what colour to go yet...
