European A-body owners: where are you?
Hi Jon, many thanx for your kind words.
I built a 340 engine and 727 trans for a London friend who had a real nice original green Dart.
Just done a 512ci engine for a London friend also for his 66 Polara, you may have seen it around.
Doing another 512ci for myself to go in the GTX, its the biggest you can build with a stock pan and pick-up.
Most go for the 498ci as it uses stock-size mopar rods, whereas the 512ci uses Chevy rods and 2.200 bearings.
I met a guy who has Jensen interceptor also doing a 512ci but made the mistake of buying flat tops! (oops 11.5 to 1)
Been there done that and it always ends badly with pump-gas, wrecks the pistons and bearings in a heartbeat...:realcrazy:
I have a couple of spare 440 blocks here if you want me to do something for you?
Best wishes from John Sheepey
