Well it turns out that M1 intakes are quite hard to come by. So would there be any other single plane intakes that are recommended? Victor? Trick flow? Indy?

I'm through the lights at about 6800-7000 rpm

Yea I agree with that, in previous years its cut a 1.75, that's why I'm trying to figure out this combo so I can consistently be in the 11s. What kind of cost is a custom converter, and what do they need, I don't have a dyno sheet for this motor. And as always money is always tight, especially...

Typical 60ft is sadly 1.80 and at the top end I'm at 110.

I'd say the compression ratio is around 9.5-10:1, it still runs on 91 pump gas. The torque converter is an off the shelf 10" 3500 stall. I run the 2 step off a button.

The car has a built 727 with a reverse pattern manual valvebody. I also footbrake the car too, i use the 2-step to make myself more consistent on the launch. The car is 3200 with me in it, typically runs high 11s in good cold air but in our Midwestern summers its low 12s. Am I doing ok time wise?

So I'm looking for some advice on my set up and my launch. I'll ask about the launch first. I'm running cal tracs on my 383 powered dart and just using a 2-step to launch. In my research about launching, most people say to go just off idle, what do you mean by that, are we talking like 1,000...

If it helps I was in the same boat, .030 over 383, talked to Trick Flow and they said they wouldn't clear the cylinder bores. So I went with a set of Indy 440 ez. I'm on a budget so I got the cheapest ones, i.e. smallest port, which I think works well with the motor. Because, in my mind it helps...

After many years and thousands of dollars I think I have a half way decent car to start bracket racing with. My main question is in regards to equipment; specifically a weather station. Did the information that it supplied you help you choose a good dial-in, or do you run more seat of the pants...

I need a bit of help deciding on which cam to put into my 383 that's in my dart sport. As it sits currently it has this cam in it; 21-228-4(Single Bolt) - Xtreme Energy™ Hi-lift Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts And with that cam it made 460 hp and torque in my indy headed 383, but last year at...

So as my 383 build is progressing I have run into a bit of a problem. With the Indy heads and valley plate the EGR crossover on the intake hits the valley plate, and won't let the intake anywhere near the heads, has anyone run into this problem before? I have no problem cutting it off, but if it...

It's the one that Mancini sells, does anybody make shorter ones?

Does anyone here run an ATI Super Damper on their big block and if you do what pulley are you running on the crank because the one I've been using is way off (about 1/2") and am wondering where you got yours, for reference it is a 2 grove pulley that is about 3 1/8" tall and came off a cast...

Oh I've known that and been doing that for quite some time. I was just curious if anybody made it work.

On a side note did any of you guys have to remove your heater to help with clearance of the valve cover?

It's a .030 over block, the 4.25 gasket would intrude into the the cylinder. I didn't think that was wanted.

I would like to use them but I don't think that they make 4.28 bore mopar head gasket, they make a 4.25 and the next size I find is 4.375. And just two of the head bolts are longer? So I should just be able to order just those, that'd be nice because it's all ARP hardware up top already and...

So I pulled the trigger and got a set of Indy heads and I am now starting to put the engine together, and I have a few questions. #1 when installing the valley plate do you guys put any rtv or the like along the head/intake edges of the plate, where it gets captured by the heads? #2 do you have...

I think eventually it'll be a getting a roller, but we're getting off topic here. I would like to know which one you guys would recommend, the Trick Flows or the Indys? I plan to buy them from Hughes Engines, would I still need to take them to a machine shop then? Sorry for all the questions...

And that's what I'm looking for, because the long term goal is to swap the heads onto a 440 that has yet to be built. So I want the potential for more.

Are the Trick Flows that much better? I always thought that the Indys were the top of the line, plus the Indys have a 3cc smaller combustion chamber. Which ones have better potential for room to grow so to speak? Heck will they even work on a 383? In one of the other threads it showed the...

I haven't checked it with an caliper, but I'd say within .010. My hope was to run e85 but if the math I did is close, it would be around 10.2 to 1 compression. Which wouldn't dictate running ethanol.

It's a 74 Dart Sport with a built 727 and a 4.30 rear gear and it weighs about 3200 with me in it. And I race it at rock falls raceway in Wisconsin its a 1/4 mile.

After much time and money I have the bottom end of my 383 back together and was looking to give it a little bit more power, and was looking for your advice if you think the whole package will work well, and maybe what it'll produce. The bottom end is a .030 over '69 383 that has the stock...

I would say that my budget is around 4-5000.

So I have recently had a massive setback/failure happen to me and my little 383. I was at the track and one of my pushrods bent and let one of the lifters out of its bore and thus starved the bottom end of pressurized oil, long story short, cylinder 1&2 rods are discolored and the bearing in #1...

I believe the initial is at 18 and it's all in by 2500 or so, I didn't change the springs or the bushings from the factory, I can't remember exactly and it's put away for the winter currently, while I work on other projects. As for the torque converter I bought this one because I was short on...

It leaves soft I guess, from the pictures that I have of it leaving it is getting a bit of the weight shift but not much, if I left any higher then 1500-1700 or so it didn't like it at all, it's not that it was spinning them it just felt slow out of the hole. In my searching and looking at...

It was happiest leaving the line around 1500 rpm, anything high and it would be slower honestly my 60 ft would go up to 2.1-2.2, as for shifting I'd shift at 5700 and through the traps at 5800-6000. Mancini lists it at 3500 stall. And I honestly don't know if it was slipping, I don't know what...

Long time reader, first time poster. So after a few years for putting my car together I've finally got it to the track a few times. Here's the specs that I can remember on the car 1974 Dodge Dart Sport A freshly rebuilt .030 over 383 with comp cams XE285HL, torkerII intake, MSD 6AL-2 box...
