Sorry I missed this one early when I was going through before. Your right you should have seen me banging my head off the garage wall the first times with an edey carb. The guy who is going to go through my engine for me runs his car off the money he makes tuning other guys cars, in fact he sold...

Thanks Fishy. I didn't know that. I put converters right up there with quatum physics, black holes, woman, and other other things I don't really understand.

What intake would you use and why? Just trying to as much information as I can to get it right.

Yea the cam is big for the street but it's a steet/strip car...if I ever get everything working together right. I do have 3.91 gears and the stall is supose to be a a 3500 but it seems to flash alot closer to 3200. Thats what you get when you buy cheaper parts. Some day I'll learn. Thanks for...

Rumblefish thanks for the numbers. You and GTXperience are right about everything needing to work together. So I guess I should ask this. I was going to reuse everything I can to keep the cost down which would include the stock rotating assembly, the mopar single plane intake, the heads, a comp...

Not sure yet. The motor was supose to be all ready to go but the springs on the head was only showing 50 p. of pressure so those were replaced. However when it didn't run any better we did a compression test and when I was getting numbers like 88, 110, 25, 108, 5 I knew that I had to pull the...

I saw the X casted into the side. Thanks that clears a little up for me.

Ok I bought an absolutly mess of a 340 engine!!! I'm getting ready to take it back out of my car and I'm going to compleatly rip it down this time. The question that I have is this. The guy I bought it from claimed that it had X heads on it. What if any was the big advantage of the heads? How do...

I'm going through my own rocker arm pushrod nightmare!!!!!!!! If you get yours figured out let me know.

Tells us more about your motor and your set up. By the way congrats on getting the motor together. :drinkers:

By the way Longarm is completely right. The more you read and talk to people who know the more you'll know what you want.

Sublime in my humble opinion you have to make sure your parts match. Theres alot of guys here who can tell you what parts work good together and what don't. I actually have a performor intake and 600 cfm eddy carb I just took out out of my car. I also have a slightly higher stall for a 904. This...

Hey I think this thread has kind of run it's course and I got alot more good information then I ever thought I would. I just wanted to add another post to say thanks again to everybody and all their good ideas. I have a much better idea of which way I want to go with my car now. I just hope I...

BJR why do you want a manual valve body on a 904? The rest I understand and sounds like a good combo.

68 yes I have seen the one wheel pull up on other cars and always wonderd why it did that. Thanks I'll have to put the roll cage on the future upgrades list on my car sounds like something that I'll need/want on the car. Greezer and Moper thanks for the sujestions. Sounds like I should have...

Ok 68 sujested it so I'll ask. What combination would you put together to go 11.5 in both a stock stroke and a stroker motor in a 3200 pound car?????????

68 Your right about the frame conectors thats a must. However I didn't know you needed a cage at 11.5.....Must be becouse I've never driven that fast. Also do you think I'd need to worry about my tranny overheating with a 3500 stall? Unfortenutly your right about the money. Nothing would get me...

68 What you said about me needing/wanting to be in the 11's makes so much sense. Why would I want to run with them when I shoulod just want to beat them.

Moper your right. I actually did alot of thinking about this and what you said reminded me alot of what the hot rods around town have always said about building motors. The problem is their all chevy guys. The way I was going to build the stroker motor was to cut corner here and there and then...

Greazer I appreciate the comments and actually the way you had your duster set up is kind of where I'm sitting right now. The problem is theres a three guys in town running high dollar rustangs in the low 12's and they enjoy nothing better then messing with me on those hot summer nights. There...

Moper thanks for clearing that up for me. After reading your more indepth explanation I understand and your right there is alot more to it but I get the point you were making. However I think I'm more confused on which way I want to go with a motor now then when I started this post. Don't let me...

Ok I think I'm going to change my log in name to confused. Moper I read what you said several times. It sounds like your saying that you don't think that there is that much of a hp and tq differance between building a stroker and 360 or 340. Well one that for true street use atleast. :banghead...

I understand what your saying about trying to guess prices. Even if you do that for a living it's impossible to know what they charge in another part of the country. Anyways let me put it like this. I want a stroker for the low end tq to make it a good light to light car. However I want to be...

Thanks BJR. Sounds like maybe I should rethink doing the build it myself route. You didn't say anything about the conecting rods can I use the ones from the old core and should I? Your also saying $3000 to $3500 but the one from MP is like $2600. Is the one that I'd have built at a shop going to...

You really think that I could get more power for less money just building one? Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to argue with anybody. This will be the first motor I ever put together so I bearly know what I want let alone what I'm doing. The local "good" shops were giving me numbers like $6000...

Thanks again guys. Yes uou did scare me about the cam. I may end up going one size down. I want this car to be completly streetable anyways. I'll double check everything befor I ordeer nay more parts. :salut:

I didn't know people were running adjustable rocker arms on street motors. I thought those were more for solid lifter cams. I have a set of crane roller rockers I was going to use but I don't want to bend a valve. How do I check that befor I start bolting things together?

I've never been to the Syracuse show. I'm actually emberassed that I didn't know they had a big mopar show there. I will try to make it. Youe car looks great I'd like to see it. By the way the biggest show of our area is the all mopar Albian show. I think it'd be worth your time to check it out...

THanks for the help Cave man. If your from Albany I'm sure to run into at some show this year.

Cave man I'm from Erie Pa. any farther North I'd be in Lake Erie or Canada. Thanks for the reply. It's nice here I'm close enough to the Mopar Nats and the Woodward Ave. dream crusie so I can go to both......If my wife lets me :thumbup: I'd Like to stick with the gears I have. The car as it...
