I wanted to run a tq on mine, I had a later nos truck carb, but I couldn't get it sorted out. was way too lean at cruise. it did pull nice when the secondaries opened.

ive been thinking of building a stock stroke 400 for my duster. I threw one together out of stuff I had. honed and ringed one with a 383 steel crank, performer intake and the small summit cam, a rebuilt set of 906 heads and iron adjustable rockers. I have about 9,000 miles on it and its time to...

i like hughes stuff, ive had good luck with it. im not sold on those whiplash cams though. they have a lot of overlap and the big selling point is the sound of them, they say it sounds like a funny car. i looked into one for my 400 in the duster. im not looking to have all bark and no bite, i...

you want to go 11s? build a real sold bottom end for the 440. good rods and a nice light wieght forged piston. 6 months of going 11s and you will want to go 10s. i went 11.80 in full street trim with steel wheels bench seat comlumn shifter a "heavy" dana full exhaust, with stock bb heads, 9.2:1...

there are plenty of times i wish i could just put it in drive and go. when i started planning this car i looked at my dart and thought what would keep me from driving it on long trips, the biggest things all point to mpg, the big stall converter, the 3.73s. could go with a gear vendors, but...

i think any converter is going to kill mpg. sure its going to build heat but with a sufficient cooler it will be fine for a long time. if you want to build a car for roadtrips, mpg and still make some power your best bet is a manual trans with od. next would be an auto with overdrive, but i...

the ad says free shipping... i use the ly rods in my 431, they are bushed for the floating lighter smaller chevy pin, and the short piston wieghed over 300g less than a stock 440 piston. i think you have to draw the line somewhere. you know how you always want to go faster, always want more...

what are you going to use them in, a 451? they will definitely be happier swinging around a lite piston vs a big heavy cast 440 piston. one thing you have to check is that the pin end is centered you can find a lot with the hole offset having less material around the pin in certain areas.

ok

nevermind.

ive heard from more than one guy the closed chamber heads do not work on the smogger engines with the piston way down in the hole. you dont get the benefits from the closed chamber unless you are close to zero deck, all they got was real bad detonation. that doesnt really make a bunch of sense...

i think with an aluminum intake you will get enough heat transfer to do the job it will just take a little longer. on my performer i jammed a ball of aluminum foil in the crossover on each side and topped it off with some high temp epoxy. it can easily be removed. it drives fine. weve been...

those numbers sound almost unbelievable.

i have the same plan rumble, run it till its pretty tired and smoky. i too figured skip the 451, but i found a crank for a good price already machined, so i might do that down the road.

rumblefish im up for a 400 smogger low budget grudge match. i just did a 400 and put it in my duster in may. i already have a street strip car so that wasnt my goal. i wanted to have good torque pretty early. i honed it, new rod main and cam bearings, cast rings, i had a 383 steel crank balanced...

i thought you could fine tune the ez efi after it was up and running?

i should have been more clear, i cant see spending thousands on an efi setup for a slant when you can build something from junkyard stuff that will work. it isnt so easy to build a working efi setup for a big block form junkyard parts. my buddy had a slant with a b&m blower on it. it ran ok, but...

there are some online articles of guys that have done junkyard efi setups for slants. i couldnt see spending big cash on any aftermarket stuff for a slant. i di think mpfi is the best setup but even a tbi setup can give you major improvements over a carb.

huh? how you going to put them in? i am a welder it is not an issue for me to make them, i like the uscartool connectors more than box tube poking up through the floor. it was a tuff decision because it is a big difference in price, but he gave me a good deal on 2 sets at carlisle. either way...

yeah i was pretty impressed with the finish of them. i wish i had a lift to weld them in though.

and there was already a noticable change in ride and handling. my wife even noticed.

i have nothing against new technology, and i have no doubt that almost every aftermarket intake out there will make power. i am just a skeptic that the offy is the cats meow.

im not sold

a good set of headers like TTI wont save you much wieght over manifolds.

i lost track i dont even know if thats the same intake he was pushing, but that was the first thing that popped up and it is a pretty informative shootout and nice that its a b motor test so it uses the exact manifolds i would be using. i was planning on running the 666 383 iron intake i have...

i really have no intrest in the offy manifolds for my car, but im somewhat open minded so did a quick google search for offy 360 mopar intakes and a 383 intake manifold shootout from hot rod magazine is one of the first to come up, which i have read plenty of times as i have used several b...

im a welder. i can put all the meat in the world on that intake. if i find a performer for what i want to pay ill just go with that. it is the best option for what im doing. i have the single plane m1 but i need a dual plane intake.

what the intake debate? i cant believe what people will pay for a used performer intake on ebay.

well i picked up a performer rpm since i couldnt find a performer for what i wanted to pay. i guess im going to weld it up, offset the bolt pattern to center it over the square bore opening and hog it out to fit. the secondaries hang over the flange about 1/4" on each side. ill probably weld up...
