The other odd thing Im noticing is all the sites say 71-72 duster and valiant and not 70 so that is confusing me.. Unless 70 is some odd ball that no one wants to make??

Yeah I plan on calling Champion on Monday to talk to them as to why the heck its so off and at minimum replace it for one that isnt damaged and maybe I got a wonky one or they put the wrong one in the box.. Who knows!

Rusty, I plan on it! The thing I'm unsure about is the rad seemed to be resting on the lower portion of the support so I dont see how it would fit with the hood down? Seems like Id have to modify that in orderto get it low enough to clear the hood. I know Champion is on the lower side of the...

Hey all! Been slowly chugging away on my stroker build for my 70 Duster and in prep for it was upgrading the cooling system to a new shiny radiator from Champion, I live in AZ so it gets stupid hot and wanted to make sure the block was going to stay cool. Ordered a CC526, got all excited when...

Pittsburgh, are there any fitment issues with those or are they gtg?

Which pan model? The oem design or one of the higher capacity pans?

Hey all! I think this post should go in here.. Been chugging away with my 340/416 stroker and now comes time for some help/experience from the group. Trying to figure out what oil pan to use in the vehicle. I have seen a number of people using Milidon but because of the earlier model year...

Very interested on what specs the cam is. What compression ratio/pistons are you running? More details please!!

I have never adjusted valves nor seen it done. I do have a friend who is a mechanic and willing to help me with payments of beer/ammo/etc so if I dont have some skills he definitely does. So I guess assume I have medium-ish experience? To get the lower compression that rules out the TF heads...

I wasnt specifically planning on zero decking the block but like I mentioned the machinist will have to deck a currently unknown amount to remove some gouges that are on the head surface (was there when I bought the block unfortunately). Here comes another newbie question: based on internet...

If what you say is true what would you suggest to bring my CR down? Id have to go with the eddys or something else then?

Guys I want to say I appreciate the responses and teaching youre providing! @rumblefish360 those videos were awesome. Cool to see what these things can do! For this build I dont have unlimited budget but I am of the mindset of do it right/justice so I am heavily considering the TF heads. One...

Ok so sounds like hydraulic is the way to go. Ill try to call Bullet and get some info from them. I imagine that their prices are more since its more custom? Beyond that whats the benefits of flat tappet vs rollers?

I have Hooker long tubes on the car right now with the engine thats in it (matching numbers, not the one Im stroking). I was looking at the TTI long tubes to go up and over the steering so I stop scraping the ground occasionally

Right now the car is at like 3200rpm or a bit higher at 60/65mph which is not preferable. Id like to get under 3k while at 65 or so. Thats part of why I am planning on taller gears to help bring it down. So it sounds like the two major heads to choose from are trick flow or eddy? Do the trick...
