383 appearing, 400 stroker with stealth heads question.

[oldkimmer]

I actually read a post today, might have been on FBBO of a guy who built a 400 with 4.5" crank AND kept it internal pickup.

I can’t see that happening cause u need a 7.100 rod for a 4.5 inch crank. Post a link if u can find it again. Thanks. Kim

Stroke limits of a 440?

Stealth heads pair with an M1 dual plain intake for the ultimate stock looking engine.

Any plans to make some passes with that thing?

Yes, currently waiting on parts for the last month to wrap up a new fuel tank swap.

you know you have to take the old tank out first, lol.

While this is a Performer RPM for a RB it sill shows you what one looks like with all the lettering, coil bracket mounting, and machining location tabs cut off.

I probably spent 40 hours on this just to painted it, and with an air cleaner on 99.9% of the crowd wouldn't know it's not a stock intake.

That's sharp! How did you texture the grind marks?

The factory could've cleaned up in the muscle car wars if they had built a low deck 470 engine using a 400 block, Max Wedge heads and a MW sized dual plane intake with a big Holley carb. They had all of the technology to build engines like that in early 70's. I'm sure they thought of it but perhaps they didn't want to embarrass the Hemi owners.

I agree 1000% I did a very simple 400/470. Eagle crank, Manley 6.760 rod, Diamond piston, 10.2:1, box stock Eddy head w/springs for a Comp street solid roller, Eddy RPM intake, 800 Holley. Runs great, idles nicely at 850 rpm, pulls hard through the middle. On a chassis dyno it made 500 ft lbs from 2500rpm all the way up. Great little street engine...no muss no fuss
