Why so big?? A 470 is very easy to build, and can be quite stout.

Love the vinyl top!! Many times i wish my 69 gts was still a force to be recond with on the street!

Looks good to me!! I have to put mine on the four post lift to look at the front suspension like that lol.

Don't get too crazy with the "lightening holes" lol.

You guys have Mickey Marts?? They sell it in 5 gallon pails

Maybe fun if not too fast drag car. Youre gonna spent time and $$$ making it safe and reliable. Id bet its been sitting for a lot more than 2 years.

The only problem with that picture is I dont see me.

Call your local track, and ask for the tech inspectors Email addy.

What is "shave a quarter inch off the water pump housing"?? LoL

Always read that the 427 Thunderbolt was'nt really very stable somehow.... 100 original cars, 40 wrecked at the track. No way for me to quantify..... I do know that Dodge/Plymouth "B"'s look very stable at the track, and happy to fly lol.

Deep pan?? Deep pan pickup?? Some people have theories on NOT using the deep pickup, but I don't agree with them.

Mid to low 10's if the the combo is finished correctly, and the chassis is also prepped to go that fast. In a typical street car, somewhere in the 11's.

Just under 300 horse, as according to Wallace dragstrip calculator, given the 3250# car running 13.0 @ ~105mph. Not meant to be an end all, be all. Just a tool. Your motor is probably cranking out a little more than that, just needs a little launch improvement to utilize a little better...

Unfortunately "first time out in a while" is a factor lol. Let us know what it runs and weel reverse engineer the rest. :thumbsup:

Never heard this calculation before.....

Ya.... word of warning, the track goes the other direction now lol. :poke:

PROOF!! The older guys get, the more efficient they become lol.

My Big block Dart has a low gear set for the 727.... It was expensive, but the car is heavy, launches nice now and the fun factor is improved.

This ones a little more current; 1972 Plymouth Duster Avon Lake OH | North Olmsted Amherst Westlake Ohio VL29G2B205514

Life is full of lies..... However, the ice cream is no lie.

I don't even understand the bearings, much less the lobes....some sort of bolt-on roller bearing setup??

I've never tried it....but would have to agree about the liability issue.... How could they tell if they are good without some level of a destructive test??? You can't tell anything by looking at them.... they aren't cotton, so unless you can swear that they've been stored in the dark, and...

Still curious, amd haven't heard a peep.... WHAT exactly came out of the bottom end?? Crank forging number? Oil pan?? What pickup ? What were the rods?? I know I mentioned this stuff before, but it seems there are multiple threads about just this one block...

I know everyone will say "damn unlikely ", but aren't replacement sleeves a possibility?

My two cents, no offense. I'm thinking you are wrong. You really think the factory bored and machined your motor to prep it to be a 426, then stamped it incorrectly identifying the engine for what it is?? Why?? How do you know original head gasket?? Crusty valve cover gaskets mean it got hot...

If you are saying that you want to make a faithfull reproduction of a Maxie engine, as long as the block casting is correct, then you should know the valve notching tool, which was created by Ed Iskedarian, can still be purchased today.

Never seen that. Only MP

V is code for 1964 build. 41 is code for 413..... would be 42 if a 426. Did they make 516 heads in 63??? I was expecting pedestal stands and maybe 200 heads?? I guess 6 bolt covers would be right for a late 63 build?? Not Maxie anything there, sans maybe the block. Forging number on crank and...

I thought that not all max wedge blocks had that notch??? A question for Greg Lane if there ever was one.... find any info on his site??

So..... did the red van just look faster, or was it?? And did he take the side pipes off? Cuz that could skew everything lol. :steering::steering:
