Was taking a break from working on my Dart which is almost finished. Found a 440/541 stroker kit .Kept looking at parts, heads, oil systems, cams, carbs, headers which i will probably have custom made etc. etc. I know that the entire drivetrain and suspension will have to be maxed but I was going to do it anyway. I could be wrong but it looks like the 408 is the same money as the 541 . A “friend “ who has a 200 mph ten second Porsche has been making negative comments about my Dart. I would love to smoke his ***(only in the quarter, there’s no way I’m going that fast.
Your impressions??
Don't get me wrong cubes are king. But I built a 30 over 440 that ran 10.40 at 126 in the 1/4 on 93 pump gas. The car was a 3400 pound with me in it 73 dart swinger. Also that was with little tuning and the wrong sized torque converterYou can build a 470 or 500 ci with a 400 block. 550 -700 or so HP. easy 10 sec 1/4.
the low deck will provide better header fit in an A-body. plus it will be a tad lighter engine.
and if you gear it right and get the suspension up to snuff it could go 200 mph.
It's easy to build a death ride, I would get the chassis up to snuff before putting the HP to it.
C'mon, Rusty... the 408 surely has aluminum heads and intake, too. So the difference is back...The 541 surely has aluminum heads and intake, right? There's your weight difference right there. Was this a trick question?
That's all cool & everything but do you really wanna spend the week cleaning people's juices off your car, yucky.If you REALLY want the "wow" factor, just build a 572 blown Hemi. There's something about those belt-driven intakes that get peoples juices going.
