Bang for the Buck Thread
That build right there would definitely make me happy....
Yeah, me too!! That would be a beast in my little Barracuda!!
I pulled a 2001 5.9 Magnum from a yard. Stripped it down, took it to a machine shop for hot tank, hone, crank polish, new main, rod, and cam bearings. I sent the cam to Oregon Cam Grinding for a regrind (.215/.223 @ .050, .517 @ 1.6). Assembled it in my garage with Edelbrock 2.02 heads. New hardened pushrods, reused factory lifters, new Comp roller rockers, Air Gap intake, and an Edelbrock 650 AVS2, Doug's headers. Rebuilt the 904, adding a PTC 9.5" torque converter, Running a 8.75, 3:23 Sur-Grip.
Pulls hard on the street, but haven't had it to the track. Hopefully this spring, still need wider rear wheels and tires, and frame connectors.
Have fun!!! The planning and building is the best part!!
