Dang ,never noticed the corrugated walls in the background. Probably colder than a witches tit in there.

Incredible. Not only did she victimise him with a divorce,she also deprived thier children of their father.

Yea I don't get why the woman ends up with the lions share in a divorce.Emasculating and dehumanising.If you earned it,and she kep't your house,sure paying a fair wage is reasonable,but certainly not this bankruptcy process we currently have.

Thats still a hella big chamber.But these days I think it's more about the shape of the chamber,quench,and crappy gas.

LSA of the cam plays a big role in idle quality. You need something more in the 114 degree range for a nicer idle.And less duration,maybe 235 ish..the parts all need to match each other and with a relatively low comression ration,it would mean a milder street oriented cam choice.

Good on ya,don't give up.

Status report!

Oh man....this sucks. Well hopefully she isn't hostile or mean,or vindictive...:(

Well said. People will always have another opinion,and disagree with you,try to change your mind. Im still gathering parts,and a big block Dart is my goal. It has been a long time,but so far I have stage VI max wedge aluminum heads,a 400 engine/727,a 440 crank,KB hyper pistons and a Dana 60...

If it's a street car use the shumacher mounts. Race car I'd use engine plates.Mine will use the mounts,but I'll chain the drivers side down,as it will see track time.

10:35 with iron heads? Ping city brother....Be prepared to use a lot of octane boost.

I say throw it in and hate tires...

Theres nothing wrong with those heads that a little port work cant correct. Im gonna throw 13.4 ish out there with traction issues. Work the bugs out,it'll run faster..

Still dealing with health issues,but not back sliding anymore.Was working on the garage roof today,and will be coming into some funds soon.Not a lot of money but maybe gets me 1/2 way there. More if I invest and flip a few good buys.

I have his book. Good info there.

Ahh,I see. I had this same conversation with my engine builder. Grinding a good deal of the material off the weights yourself saves some money. I plan on offset grinding to acheive roughly 470 cid.I agree with you,the factory crank is a heavy pig,and must be drastically lightened but the good...

Just curious why you regret using the 3.75 crank? Expense,smaller stroke,both?

Personally I think the 451/470 can be built a lot cheaper than that. Go with a stock forged 440 crank,have the mains ground to fit the 400 block,reuse the stock iron heads with good porting and a valve job and you'll be over 500 h.p and well over that in torque. crazy as it sounds,use...

Im soory to hear your health is a concern. God knows,I can relate and as such make it your #1 priority to get well.

Whats up my Mopar brother?

Lol I hear ya on dirt floor! I pulled my 400 block on the edge of a dirt cliff in my buddies yard using an engine hoist. It was made easier by laying down some spare sheets of plywood,and I had 2 guys for counterbalancing the engine hoist as it tried to twist and flop over. Fun! Well,not really...

Hey,wheres the like button old man mopar? Looks like you did the suspension and brakes after.Smart.

Yup,from the bottom is how th factory did ALL of them.

yup.Or a set of cheap Kb hypers.Can even use factory rods.

AWESOME! Hauls groceries and *** too. Gotta love it

I have these books. Nothing really obsolete. Most of the modern books being put out are based on these books.

I think Andies book is well worth it. I have in my collection. Saving big $$ by assemling it yourself isn't really that cheap to do. The precise instruments needed dont come cheap. Unless you plastigage everything,lol...

Oh man,if there was a like button I'd be clicking it!:D

Make sure you have help!

Probably the easiest is to bolt it all up,install to K frame and install whole assembly from underneath.Just jack the car up hig and roll the asssembly on your jack.
