If you could save every dime of advice you'd pay for the build. Here's my 10 cents worth. "You can't lose either way..." I think most possible pro/con points have been made but I can think of one I haven't seen. A very real value of doing a small block besides the weight advantage is the...

There are so many variations of pulleys for big blocks and as you note those that accommodate PS delete are really rare. When I was in the game in the 80s and 90s I had a huge collection of pulleys and even then it was really hard putting together an engine set that aligned perfectly. And if...

@65Val, yeah I pondered that a bit. A sharp center punch nearly bounces on the sleeve, it's no malleable piece of gas pipe and the welds are very nice. The link isn't subject to any shear forces, i.e. reasonable expectation of bending, twisting or impact. All it's functional loading is...

I did the best I could taking some pics under the car on jackstands. My pan is clearly stamped 699 but has draglink clearance indentations on both sides that look very factory, not welded or hammered as you'd expect if they weren't. Go figure. A couple of comments on other things in the...

Well I poked away at it this week and figured out how to cut down a 20.5" cable to fit my setup. It ended up a little over 17". Pics show cables side by side and the chopped one installed. I drilled a small bolt to make an adjustable stop at the pedal end.

Great find and pretty cool that the ARE guys would go to the trouble of matching part numbers to specs and letting everyone know about it. I'm finding I still need to mod a factory piece or find something custom for my 65 Valiant/440. I'm working a mechanical resto on a vintage street racer...

Interesting... the 699 pan in 65Val's photo is different than the one in my car. I don't have a lift but let me see if I can get a picture.

65Val was pretty cool about it but the 699 is worthy of note. Idler and pitman arm clearance on both sides and accel/decel baffles on both ends of the sump. With a sandwiched windage tray it's Mopar state of the art. When I picked up my early 80's built street race 440 65 Valiant it's exactly...

HQ383, here's a coincidence... I'm restoring an outlaw street racer, 65 Valiant with a 440 that was put together in the late 70's in So Cal, and the throttle cable is too long. It's kinked (talk about dangerous, like the unsecured fuel cell) and my measurements indicate I need a 17" cable. If...
