I'm with RAMM on the 383, never seen one that was very impressive. Years ago, I had a 71 RR with a tired 383. Being poor I did a stock rebuild, it was still a pig. Within a year I found a 67 440 out an IL state police car. I did the same poor boy rebuild, new valve job, hone, new rings, bearings...

Congrats Don.

I’ve built several and never seen any pins. I always tighten the timing cover bolts after the damper is on.

Yes.

I have a buddy that runs a turbo car down into the 4.50’s on a 275, he runs a 12” wheel. I have them on a 10” wheel on my Dart.

When I was in the planning stages of building my 434 in one of our conversations Brett told me not to run an offset seat roller lifter. I didn't ask why and took his advice.

I had my Hedmans coated about 12 years ago, would do it again if I needed headers. It definitely cuts down on under hood temps.

I'd change them. I'm running the same 1 7/8" Hedmans on my 434 that I ran on my 408. They have 3 1/2" collectors and 3" exhaust to turn downs at the axle. My 408 didn't want for low end, 4.10 gears.

Actually, Michael Waltrip had the lead, Jr finished second.

Chicom John! :rofl:

I'd like to see how much money he won with that car. Pretty sure he built a 62 after the Brown Sugar crash, it was called Shewanda.

Very nice, congrats!

Never mind. :lol:

You get my point though.

I don't think there is a member who think Edelbrock reinvented anything. Their head was sold as a direct replacement for a stock head, that'd be hard to do if you moved the rockers, changed exhaust & intake bolt pattern and port locations. They did make improvements though, smaller stem valves...
