400 w/ 7.4:1 SCR

BELIEVE ME..it WONT be a turd in an A-body..I went to the junkyard and pulled a 440 out of a 1975 new yorker..stock 7.5:1 engine. Rebuilt it stone stock, just new rings and bearings and dropped it in my 1972 dart and let me tell you, it was scary! The torque of a big block in a dart is fun and scary at the same time! Yes, its a 440 but the 400 wont be a heck of a lot different in a dart! The one fun yet scary thing was when i was cruising down a curvy road at 45 MPH and stepping on the gas, it would break sideways! It didnt take long to literally desintagrate the original to the dart 7 1/4 dana . When i took the rear cover off, bits and pieces just crumbled out, like broken glass.. I since pulled the 440 out and upped the compression and installed a much bigger cam and its a little better on top end now but like i said, even bone stock it was scary and fun at the same time! You will see!!
