I'm aware of the b bodies being offered both ways, sorry if I mislead. I'm really wanting an aluminum headed 470 low deck in an A body. I think a 67-69 2 door post valiant would be the hot ticket. It just has that look I like and it's a great platform. Unless I come across a cherry not back...

Ok. I personally like the look of a two door post. Like the intermediate B bodies. Such as a Savoy. I also always thought they were stronger cars. Which would be a win win for me. I was looking at some A bodies and came across a Plymouth valiant two door that looked to me like it was a Two...

Reviving this thread...... Any news on the 270 low deck setup? Been awhile and I'm sure things have been tried.

Well, I've always read the safe limit on the low deck factory block is around 650 horsepower. And that's possible with some TF 240 heads and a SFT cam. If I were to go over to bushed lifters, the expense of a solid roller, and max wedge heads then I would rather put all that down n the...

So with the 400 block the 470 seems to be the street strokers with the wrist pins out of the ring lands and the extra support of the skirts. At least it seems that way for most, some always disagree. That's cool. My question is with regards to the 4.5 bore aftermarket 440 blocks. How much...

93 ethanol free is everywhere. My truck runs on it. It's at Walmart. I was just wondering about it. The storage life of race fuels. May not be worth the hassle. There's also two airports I could get an gas at. I'm actually 45 minutes north of lake Charles.

What type of fuel is easiest to store that gives the ability to make more power over 93 octane? I'm just wondering if it's really any better storing a 55 gallon drum of something like methanol over just ordinary street fuel. A street legalish, car that may get 60 miles on the street during...

I am hearing this, what I call horseshit, thing about bolting on a smaller chamber aluminum head will loose compression due to less heat in the chamber. Wouldn't less heat allow for hotter tuning? More advance? Ect? The argument is this "I want to build a "proper bottom end out of my 400...

This must be what I was thinking, and had my mind mixed up. So it's a yes on stage six heads with RB manifolds on a B. So now another question. Just how much meat would have to be ground off the B manifold? Couldn't a manifold be welded up?

I've searched around quite a bit and read all kinds of conflicting stuff from it won't work at all to Trickflow is coming up with a manifold. I am under the impression that the Trickflow 270 with "Max Wedge Type" intake runners wil work with a B block if using an RB intake manifold. Is this...

If I find out I'll update this thread.

Does anybody know what size rear tires, or about, we're on the Mancini Racing Super Stock? I'm assuming it has modified wheel tubs along with the spring/inboard hanger setup. I just always thought this car looked cool and wonder what is actually under those cars during that timeframe.

Hi, I got a bad motor in my Durango and need some magnum advice. From what I'm seeing eq heads are hard to get. What are the current budget offerings? This won't be a high performance build, just as much as I can get out of a 318 with the factory 98 computer. What are some budget minded...

I'm thinking about putting together this engine: I have these parts: 360 unopened engine out of a 79 truck. Unknown miles. Some zollner/badger p290 +.020 pistons. Dont know any specs on these other than I think they are flat top with reliefs but I'm not sure. They are at the shop right now...
