No, the small block stroker was built by Wayne after he bought the wrecked car.

time of the crash I heard it was a 400 based stroker

Wayne Smothers of STS in Oolagah, OK bought it and fixed it up. He had it for sale for some time. Not sure if he still owns it

Welcome from Oklahoma City

Depending on the chamber volume and what they actually measure at, you could use kb399’s. They’re domed and could put your compression up higher where it won’t be a lazy low compression combo. What axle, gears and tire size does your car have? That has to be considered for your cam. Stall of...

Mirror finish!

Wet sand or buffer wheel?

You’ll do just fine

Welcome! Would like to see a video or two if you can manage

Everything has it’s limits. Weight, sticky tires or street tires. They do make 29 spline axles and crush sleeve eliminators for them. In the end, you may be money ahead in the long run with a 60 if you intend to race

Not sure on the un reliable part. Hit or miss perhaps. My 03 dakota with it’s 3.9 just passed 401,000 this week. I bought it new 21 years ago. My daily driver

Glad you’re chasing it down and making progress. I like the 670 holley street avenger. Has worked good for both my mild 318 and my 350

Looks really good! What media was used? Sand, glass or soda?

I remember at one time he said his budget was 25k. I put an ad on hispost for a 383 dart that was restored 10 years ago and garage kept. It was around 22-25k. Did he ever call, look at it? I seriously doubt it. It was in North Texas if I remember

Sorry to hear of your misfortunes. All those motors look great on paper, more hp and mileage. And yet all I’ve heard is “if” they can get past 100k now, trade it in and pass it off to someone else. My 03 dakota with a 3.9 v6, bought it brand new, now has 395,000 miles. Uses oil so I have to...

Nice shooting. Due to recent events, you might want to start learning how to reload ammo and stock up. Prices have already gone up and it will not improve any time soon

Welcome

We had spring for a week, now freezing temps again for the nights and early mornings. Warm weather coming soon and then, TORNADO season has begun!

Follow the ring gap instructions. They’re different than from oem specs.

Kb-167 are zero deck, kb-399 are domed. Need to know your cylinder head volume to calculate your static compression ratio. Is this an 87 octane motor? Premium 91 or 93?

i actually got to go over that in my annual training for wearing a harness at work when using boom lifts

Yup! Happened to me. Get them all fixed as soon as you can

500hp on street tires versus big sticky tires is a big difference on how long parts hold up. Weight is a factor too

Cool build. 8.25’s are fairly strong. If upgrading to a limited slip, upgrade to 29 spline axles. Up to 96 they were 27, 97-04 they’re 29. Look up www.doctordiff.com Not sure if the oem 29 spline axles from the 97-up are the same length as your 1st gen, maybe after market. Will be...

Looks really good

Low output 318 lol ! Just how many 383 sbc’s do I know that would shut down!

Yeah I having been feeling the itch to get back on the range. Just reloaded up another batch of 45lc. Looking at a few different scopes and different weight bullets with a higher ballistic coefficient to try and stretch out my 30-06 to a 1000 yd. There s finally a range under an hr drive away...

And lets not forget the Dodge M4S from the movie The Wraith. Twin turbo 2.2 450hp top speed of 190 mph. Very cool car

About 15 years ago I watched a guy racing his 80’s daytona with that turbo 2.2. Was running low 10’s. He did a rwd conversion because he got tired of rebuilding the transaxle all the time. I guess like anything, they can run real good with the right setup and combination

At Cudafacthackjob, yes it was slower off the line. I could tell immediately. The weight difference between the two converters, one being a non lockup, the other a lockup which has a clutch inside is a significant difference in rotating mass. Now, if I were to pull that 2500 lockup, I would...
