That is what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure I was correct.

So I am building a 408 stroker dart and the differential I got for my 8.75 rear has 4.56 gears in it. I have no desire to run them long term as this is mostly a street car. I have already bought 3.73 gears but part of me is tempted to keep the 4.56 gears infor a little while just to toy around...

When I was planning my 340 build I was 100% set on the xe268. Plans changed when I got a great deal on a stroker. Now 340 is in the garage waiting on a home.

Yes I got the 9.5"

I gave most this to dynamic upfront and what I forgot they asked for and then some. They are running a special right now so after shipping it was still $200 less than a local company I was looking at.

Just called dynamic. Price was right so I ordered one. Seemed great to work with. Conerter will flash at 3800 but drive like a 3200. Price seemed very reasonable to me.

I have a local company called Circle D that has a good reputation but before I place an order wanted to see if there are any better suggestions. I am looking for a new converter for a street/mild strip. Car details 72 dart 408 stroker Howars big mama rattler cam (288/296) X heads rpm...

I picked up 2 prostars this weekend at a swap meet 15x8 with 4.5 bs. They are wrapped with practically new 255/70r15 tires. Paid $250 for the pair (back 2 only). I have done my research and understand 255/60 will fit but was not sure if the 70s would rub. The guy told be he had them on his 70...

Picked up a set of 2.02 J heads with new guides but no valves or springs for $100. Was that a good deal? Starting to think I overpaid now that I am looking at valve prices. I think these will just be used as a backup plan. I agree with you all. Might just run the J heads that came with it as...

For the record this is going to be primarily street with occasional strip time. Also no tubbing so 255 tires on the back.

So when I was planning my build around my stock 340 I let you guys convince me I to rebuild my 904 instead of the 727 I have to help get the extra hp out of the car. Well the build has changed as I just got a great deal on a 408 stroker so my question is do I stick with the 904 rebuild or do I...

Just got a good deal on a 408 stroker. Had a 340 with x heads I was planning on putting in but now change of plans. The stroker came with standard 1.88 j heads. Originally I thought i would sell x heads with the 340 so I could get top dollar for it and just port the j heads but that doesn't...

Oh if I go with the stroker I will be shooting for a lot more than 400hp. 400hp was just that number that was a little past where my 340 was gonna be and I was wondering what I could do to get it there.

My impression is that he hasn't worked on it. Not real sure though. That is why I am going by there Monday. He was busy when I called him so ran through it quick As for the drive train I was planning on beefing up my 904 at the recommendations of members here over the 727 I have. I am also...

Great advise. Thank you. 400hp was a number I felt was attainable on my 340 so wanted to get close to it. I don't know much about the ins and outs of a stroker. That's why I am here posting this. I knew without knowing more it would be hard to say if it is a good deal. Really I guess I just...

Good to know. He didn't say so I am guessing cast or he would have said forged but who knows.

Ok just called him. I am going to go by Monday and look at what all he has but it basically sounds like a short block with heads Here is what he listed Aftermarket eagle crank Aftermarket pistons Cam (not sure what cam) Comes with heads with roller rockers. He said rockers are in ok shape...

Kind of what I am thinking. I have everything to finish this 340 except a carb and maybe a cam depending on what is in it now. While the 340 is there he was going to pull the cam and give me specs. The 340 I have there was rebuild 10 years ago and ran for a month or 2 before the guy put a 360 in...

No number matching going on in my build. Pulling a 318 from my 72 swinger for the 68' 340. And the main reason behind not wanting to port the heads is in my mind the x heads are more valuable to someone in stock conditions so should I ever decide to upgrade to aftermarket I could sell the heads...

So I have my 340 in the shop getting new rings and bearings and a quick once over before I put it in my dart and we started talking power. I really want to get close to 400hp but don't know that I want to port my original X heads and don't really want to get into spending a lot on a stroker. He...

Also try Coy wheels. They have some small bolt pattern. That was the route I was gonna go but instead have changed rear end plans and will have BBP as well as discs up front.

Actually gonna be 3.73 gears running a 904. Going for 255 tires. Have not looked at suspension much yet but know I need to. Gonna be a street car with occasional trip to the track

Thank you all for your help. This is my first build and I am learning a lot every day.

Reason I asked about the compression is when I bought the motor I was told it was recently rebuilt (sat for 10 years) and it was 10.5/1 compression.

Ok so if I wanted to get closer to 375-400 porting the heads would be the next step? Would you port x heads or because they are a valuable head would it be better to sell them and buy different heads? Rocco, where do you get the compression of 9.25/1.

Pretty much what I thought. Sounded a bit optimistic.

Ok guys. Took the heads off and the cylinders had some lines on them. Nothing bad at all but I figured while I had it out take it to the shop and get a hone and new rings and bearings. The cam looks brand new and we are gonna see what is in it. I have read the dyno derby article and it said...

Yea car is at paint and body shop now. I am thinking I should have him roll the lip to be safe.

Thank you. That is the exact info I was looking for. I want to run 255 tires and 8" rim. Just not sure how large a rim I want. Part of me likes the low profile look and part of me likes the 15" rim with lots of tire look. Also did you roll your lip?
