That is what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure I was correct.

So I am building a 408 stroker dart and the differential I got for my 8.75 rear has 4.56 gears in it. I have no desire to run them long term as this is mostly a street car. I have already bought 3.73 gears but part of me is tempted to keep the 4.56 gears infor a little while just to toy around...

When I was planning my 340 build I was 100% set on the xe268. Plans changed when I got a great deal on a stroker. Now 340 is in the garage waiting on a home.

Yes I got the 9.5"

I gave most this to dynamic upfront and what I forgot they asked for and then some. They are running a special right now so after shipping it was still $200 less than a local company I was looking at.

Just called dynamic. Price was right so I ordered one. Seemed great to work with. Conerter will flash at 3800 but drive like a 3200. Price seemed very reasonable to me.

I have a local company called Circle D that has a good reputation but before I place an order wanted to see if there are any better suggestions. I am looking for a new converter for a street/mild strip. Car details 72 dart 408 stroker Howars big mama rattler cam (288/296) X heads rpm...

I picked up 2 prostars this weekend at a swap meet 15x8 with 4.5 bs. They are wrapped with practically new 255/70r15 tires. Paid $250 for the pair (back 2 only). I have done my research and understand 255/60 will fit but was not sure if the 70s would rub. The guy told be he had them on his 70...

Picked up a set of 2.02 J heads with new guides but no valves or springs for $100. Was that a good deal? Starting to think I overpaid now that I am looking at valve prices. I think these will just be used as a backup plan. I agree with you all. Might just run the J heads that came with it as...

For the record this is going to be primarily street with occasional strip time. Also no tubbing so 255 tires on the back.

So when I was planning my build around my stock 340 I let you guys convince me I to rebuild my 904 instead of the 727 I have to help get the extra hp out of the car. Well the build has changed as I just got a great deal on a 408 stroker so my question is do I stick with the 904 rebuild or do I...

Just got a good deal on a 408 stroker. Had a 340 with x heads I was planning on putting in but now change of plans. The stroker came with standard 1.88 j heads. Originally I thought i would sell x heads with the 340 so I could get top dollar for it and just port the j heads but that doesn't...

Oh if I go with the stroker I will be shooting for a lot more than 400hp. 400hp was just that number that was a little past where my 340 was gonna be and I was wondering what I could do to get it there.

My impression is that he hasn't worked on it. Not real sure though. That is why I am going by there Monday. He was busy when I called him so ran through it quick As for the drive train I was planning on beefing up my 904 at the recommendations of members here over the 727 I have. I am also...

Great advise. Thank you. 400hp was a number I felt was attainable on my 340 so wanted to get close to it. I don't know much about the ins and outs of a stroker. That's why I am here posting this. I knew without knowing more it would be hard to say if it is a good deal. Really I guess I just...
