Biomedtechguy, I see we think alike. As you can see this thread is old. To update, I took the plunge and bought B1 original head package with Stage 3 porting, T&D rockers, etc. It took 10 months to get them (Covid-Supply Chain). Engine shop was hit with Covid and dropped the ball on pistons...

I think the cross ram may have to go away to get the power level I need. Manifolds, spray bar valve covers, custom headers, and costs all complicate my choices. Unlike Chevy, there are limited options with big block Mopar. Looking back, I should have went Gen II Hemi. Then I would have cross...

Yes sir! Looking at prices, I could have the B1s fully ported for same $$ as 572-13. Looking better all the time

That narrows down the options. B1s or 572-13. Each have drawbacks for street use. Which is lesser evil? I intend to buy package with rockers. If B1, which version? If 572-13, I would get the 385 CNC.

Thank you everyone for your input. It really helps to get experienced advice. I don’t think I was being realistic with hydraulic cam plans, or cross ram. Fuel injection may stay with Super Victor or ModMan intake? I have a great engine builder who will help me also. I like the Fuel Injection...

I already have the RB Bull Dog block. That’s why I’m going big block. Realistically, 9.90 is great but a few tenths reserve doesn’t hurt. I want the BO 29 look, not down on the ground, tube chassis look.

I’m leaning towards TF 270 heads, solid roller cam, Super Victor intake. I already have the Bulldog RB block, that’s why no Hemi.

I may need to change some plans. 572 was number because I already have 4.5 bore Bulldog block. I had planned cross ram to look similar to BO29 hemi, that can change if needed. With the Gerst front suspension I can have less restrictive headers. I am also open to using a solid roller cam, and...

I could increase stroke, but that would put more demand on head performance? Trick Flow made 687HP with 10.15:1 and 505 cubic inch with 270 heads. I somehow think that combination stretched some would reach 700HP+. Plus a little, not 100HP+.

Rear end will be a Dana 60, trans and converter will be matched to engine and chassis. I am open to single Dominator or Sniper injection, but need to keep street use in mind.

700-800HP is range I am shooting for. Car will be caged and tied together with overdrive and mufflers for short street trips to shows (20-30mile). Want a high 9 - low 10 second car that isn't a high maintenance 14:1, radical roller cammed trailer queen. I'm open to adding 105 octane to the tank...

Bulldog Performance from Indianapolis. They are producing B, RB, and Gen II Hemi blocks. Iron and Aluminum. Very beefy, cross bolted mains. Very much like the Koleno block. $3975 4.49 bore +$150 Phone 317-869-8689 Richard Bradshaw bulldogblockhead.com

That is what I was hoping to hear! I didn't want to go B1 or Indy for several reasons. Looking online for 572 builds, most are Hemi and rest are full race. Will Sniper system adjust itself if exhaust cutouts are used? I plan to have them for track use. I know I will need O2 sensors upstream of...

Building BO29 Cuda look a like. Gerst front and rear suspension, 12 point cage, gear vendor OD w/ 727 and Dana 60. Street legal, 93 UNLEADED!! I would like to run a cross ram with AFBs or Fuel injection, what heads? B1?, Indy? Bulldog block (4.5 bore x 4.5 stroke), would like Hydraulic roller...
