Sorry, ain't gonna argue with you any more, you know it all!

Yeah, I get it. But at the strip, I can run with the big blocks.

I have tti's, 904, and an ebay $79 starter has worked with no mods for 6 years, even had room to wrap it with a summit heat shield blanket.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE big block mopars, but if it's just a street car, a 4" stroke small block will give you plenty of torque and fits easy. A lot less work, jus' sayin'.

I will be there checking the cars out, Dart goes racing Friday night and stays home saturday..I'll look for you Higgs

273 pan won't fit 360, mains are bigger on 360 and pan has bigger rear gasket/seal radius

Is the cup plug missing above the rear main cap, in the galley to make the oil go through the filter? You can check to see if it's in there by pulling the oil sender in the rear of the block and inserting a piece of welding rod down the hole. I checked 2 blocks in the garage and the rod went in...

think I have delete plate but it's not in the best shape, I can try to get a pic of it, and get it to you. PM me if you are still needing it.

Thanks for the info, I am doing a re-ring on a 4.3 chevy with low miles, moly rings, sealed power says 400 grit so I am going to get 400 grit.
