OK, that sounds great, but I've never heard of it. Is it some unobtainium thing I have to dig out of a bin at the Mopar Nats or can you buy them someplace?

Gotcha. That's very generous. Thanks. 73-74 are different than 71-72. The earlier ones will bolt up, but they don't have the headlight bulge at the edges, so it would look funny. The link you have only makes a stock replacement glass hood in fiberglass which isn't going to help with hood...

Right, good idea. Unfortunately, nobody makes a hood for a 73 roadrunner...

haha! I've got Indy heads and an Indy single plane MW intake on the car. I need something with a lower height to gain some clearance to my stock Roadrunner hood. I'm planning to experiment with various alternative intakes and spacers on the dyno. Given that I have sort of a low lift camshaft, I...

Hey All: Have a motor with Max Wedge Indy heads on it. Need to try some different intakes-most of which are not Max Wedge. Is the MW port basically just bigger than the standard port or is there going to be roof or floor misalignment? I know this must be a stupid question because I can't turn...

You're making 700 wheel horsepower, or is that an engine dyno number? 525 rear wheel is about exactly 700 at the flywheel once you account for 727. Whats the weight/ET?

I'm open to that.... So when are these 270s coming out?! Motor is going to have to come apart for upgrades at some point....

OK: So, Im interested in opinions. I have these Indy 440-SR 295 CNC heads on my car. The flow numbers are very comparable to the TFS heads.... My car makes 525 rwhp on my Mustang Chassis dyno. Solid roller, single plane, 727, etc. Is the TFS standard port (affordable) new hotness really...

Thanks, I will check it out.

Hey: I am so sick of charging this thing between rounds. Has anyone on here figured out a way to run an alternator with a Meziere electric pump? I have the full pump on a 440, not the insert that fits in the stock housing. I can't believe Meziere made this thing without the stock style...

Exciting stuff, best new Mopar loot for a long long time.

The intake/exhaust ratio on these heads is pretty outstanding. Peak intake flow isn't as high as (Indy's numbers) on my 440 CNC EZ heads, but exhaust is crazy higher. Probably be worth spec'ing a custom cam for these heads if you are going with them. These are with a standard port (not Max...

OK: So let me start by saying I am a big block newb. Now that we've got that out of the way....I have a big block engine with a meziere water pump (the full pump, not the pump that fits in a stock housing) . The previous owner of the car deleted the alternator as it was pretty much a drag car...

I didn't hear it run. He was asking $950 carb to pan, with accessories and pullies, no exhaust manifolds. I don;t think he was trying to pull anything over on me, I honestly think he didn't know it wasn't an hp. Just pulled it out of a '69 GTX and that was what they were supposed to have.

It had a forged crank, no HP on the pad. Did have 906 heads, no exhaust manifolds. Had the oil pan that is good for swapping big blocks in A-bodies rather than the one with the baffles (its too late for me to remember the numbers) Carb was from a 69 340. I passed on it. Thanks for the help guys

That's in front of the intake right? To the right of the dizzy? I'll be checking that.

Thanks. That sounds about as good as it gets! I know just enough about big blocks to be dangerous, which of course is why I want to start tinkering with one! Steve

Hey: Been on the hunt for a big block for a while. Came across a low mile standard bore carb to pan 69 440 out of a GTX. Dude says it runs good. Is this going to have decent compression and what-not? Would the pistons be a mile down in the hole? Are the heads on this thing any good...

IMO the only reason to do that would be to say "I've got a hemi". There are many other ways to make that horsepower. Most of them are easier to work on and all of them are cheaper.

Thanks for the ideas guys! I didn't want to get into the shortblock, just do some bolt ons like my Magnum, and this is for a different car. If I could get high 11s out of the big block project I would be pretty happy.

Hey: Maybe looking at picking one of these up. What do they have for pistons? How far are they usually down in the whole? Is it a hopeless issue getting any power out of one without pulling apart the shortblock? I'm aware of the cast crank, but has it got like a super smog dish piston...

Hey All: There's a 413 police interceptor engine (1965 I believe) for sale. I'm drawn to big heavy objects that sit around in my garage collecting dust. Would it be worth having or $500.00?? Supposedly hasn't been overhauled but runs very well. Thanks for any help Steve

Is that the 383 from Craigslist? I was this close to buying that. LOL

Wow. I'll have to figure out what year this engine is before I do it. Though, the 2bbl on there is pretty sad and I'd rather do the intake swap than spend money and energy on the stock 2bbl. Steve

Hey All: Looking to convert a 400 to 4 bbl. I'm sure a stock 4bbl intake would do the trick, but I think I'd rather lift aluminum. Far as I know, motor is stock other than exhaust. Not looking to do any other mods at this time. Any other gotchas converting to 4bbl? Thanks! Steve

Looking great! I love projects like this. I just tried the HHR deal on my 71 Dart (small block 360) and the fan hit the water pump also. My radiator must have been narrower than yours because it fit my radiator perfect (the four "arms" on the edges actually hung out over the tanks). I didn't...

If it was me I'd do it. A little extra clearance will never hurt anything. Next time I have mine out, I'm thinking of clearancing the floor pan a little bit where the cooler lines and linkage stuff is on the driver's side of the transmission. A little extra room in there would go a LONG...

How much does it cost to coat a set of valve covers?

What are your plans for the car? Do you need a rev limiter, two step, nitrous retard, that kind of thing? If not, there probably isn't really any reason to run the aftermarket stuff. If you do plan on some street/strip/nitrous action, I'd get a Mallory Hyfire Digital VI box. There's no way...

Sheesh: If you can't run mid 11s with that thing, I'd push it off a cliff. I bet you'd do a lot less kicking yourself in the jewels if you did a good build on a small block and spent some of the leftover money on chassis. How much power does it take to run in the 11s with a 3000 pound car...
