good points. i just though most of the cam failors in the day were due to over-zellous use of crazy valvesprings. same logic for today.

i said that in my first post on this subject.. hence "where's the million of cam failiors"? just another marketing ploy that some **** eyed kid made up. Gas on the otherhand was over 3 GPG (grams per gallon) prior to 1982 then it went to 1.1 GPG in 1983, 0.5 GPG in 1985, 0.1 GPG in 1986, then to...

talked with a mopar only shop today and he informed i could go all that way to an .080" - .100" cut. so i guess .050" is safe. thanks.

i've never ever looked for any oil that had a high ZDDP (zinc & phosphorus) content. broken in cams with whatever oil, wallmart/castrol/mix and match/ etc. never had a cam failior. i've said this before. run killer springs on a street engine.. expect a lobe to go, also, running engines low on...

yah they are KB400's.. "one off" in referance for a 413 block. sorry if it seemed misleading. . should end up at 444cid with this combo. so do you think a .050 deck cut is safe? PS.. man your good to figure out what piston that was..

thanks. pistons are full dome (not a quench dome) w/ valve reliefs. the pistons are 1.908" compression height.. center of pin to the top of the flat (not to the top of the dome). total volume of the dome is 6cc. with a 50 deck cut leaving it .001 down + a .040 gasket i think it should be safe.

so the cut on the intake face dosn't end up into crazy #'s. so a .050 cut on the deck shouldn't be a problem? i don't have $$ to burn either. but i do have all winter to do it so i can spread out the cash over time. mines just basically gonna be a re-engineered 440... bottom end wise. PS. i got...

heads will be angled milled. just some "one off" pistons i got for an experimental RB engine.

i'm gonna be using 1.908" compression height pistons, along with 6.800" rods and a 3.915" stroke crank (offset ground journals to 2.200" [big block chevy size]). this would leave the -6cc dome pistons in the hole .050" so around 10.3:1 cr. the heads are 84cc close chamber aluminum. i assuming...

with the stock RB deck height of 10.725", how much can you safely cut the deck? .050"? .080"? .100"? thanks in advance.

there outta stock and who knows when they'll get more. check there web page under cylinder heads. heads no longer listed i dont think.

buy it but, your gonna have a hard time finding decent pistons if you wanna rebuild it. you could however give it a .070" overbore and use 426 wedge pistons, which are more available. don't worry much about goin .070" it'll take it with room to spare. PS. is it an industrial 413?

there is alot of room. but the exaust piping will have to be "creative".

don't some people cut off the d-side dump and reweld a b-body dump in a different postion not only for clearance, but to get rid of that "kink"?

sorry for the jack.. but i was wondering where that d-side mount came from.. now I know.. don't mind the pigeon **** welds..LOL.

Tech let you dig the 1320 with all that junk in the trunk? impressive.. most impressive.. up here if i got a beer bottle cap loose in the trunk.. DENIED lol.

well there yah go. put the old foot in my mouth for the millionth time lol.

custom built is all your gonna find, and big$$$. closest you'll get for a manufactured piece would be a T-ram with dividers in the plenium and all 8 barrels going at the same time.

when we did my 73 duster i used the typical late saginaw pump. I can can tell you that i had to make a notch in the k-member near the d-side mount. mabey that was becouse of the schumacher mounts perhaps? i measured everything.. even the offset was bang on. who knows....

depending on what unit you have.. you may have to do some clearancing on the K. not 100% sure on that though.

sick ride... thats the only MoPar in the last 20years that I'd like to see in my garage.

I guess with a measuring tape and some welding knowledge that would be the best way to go. you can then reenforce all the factory welds and box things in for added strength.

would that stash be for the make your very own DC K-member mod?

figured you you push for 4cyl DOMESTIC product over an import... not about fuel economy... i just don't believe that stock for stock a 440 vs 340 or even the Hi-Perf 360's (which has all the go fast 340 parts) get the same fuel economy.

what? i had a 74rr that came with a 360 (bout 40k on the clock, all stock) 4sp. got around 18mpg on the hiway. I swapped it out for a 74 440(stock) with the same milage, and the best it could muster was about 11- 12mph hiway. both engines were in a very good state of tune.

IF it can be done with 10:1cr? well hell.... it can be done in a NA engine with 8.5:1cr.. no problem. PS... you thinking backwards on this one..

anything under 450cid smallblocks is the only choise.

not me, but i'll put you in touch with someone who does. cheers

if your talking about C-Body HP manifolds.. then thats a hellava deal. cheers
