    I think Rick brought this thread back from the dead to talk about the reliability of the Clutchflite transmission?

    Looking for Horsepower Guesstimates on Friend's Build

    We don't think that it was repainted a factory color, but they did a good job on it.

    Looking for Horsepower Guesstimates on Friend's Build

    THIS is the kind of info I was looking for. My buddy has been repeating what he read on Summit's page and not what is on Howard's page. Anyone care to change their guess now that we have the true cam specs? Lift: .520 / .530, Duration @ .050: 229 / 235, Centerline: 108, Mild lopey idle...

    Looking for Horsepower Guesstimates on Friend's Build

    My buddy and I were having a few cold beverages the other night and he started talking about the engine that he recently had built. We got into a friendly disagreement about what kind of power his engine is making. I don't want to slant the debate by giving our opinions, but would rather you all...

    What engine is in that motorhome???

    If I were you, I'd get in my truck and drive an hour and pick up ALL of this big block stuff for $400 and let Grandpa keep his motorhome. You'll have to deal with it eventually. We are paying someone $300 to get rid of Grandpa's non-running motorhome as I type this. Mopar Big Block Parts

    "Ran Fine When I Pulled It", Yeah Right!

    Wait, someone lied on CL in order to sell something?!!?! The 408 that's in my Dart started out as a "full roller crate engine". Pulled a valve cover off in the guy's driveway and it didn't even have roller rockers. He was a little embarrassed to be caught lying and said "that's what the guy...

    What suspension upgrades should i do for $1200 big block dart

    The best bang for the buck I got was a good pair of weld in sub-frame connectors. My car used to twist and squirm around curves, now it tracks nice and flat. I'd do some good rear springs first to see where it wants to sit, then weld them in. Good shocks and a front sway bar would be next.

    Has anyone used an edelbrock thunder series carb on a BB stroker?

    My little small block made 500 hp with a Thunder 800

    New legs?

    Here's over 2500 threads about putting a big block in an A body. That should keep you busy for a while. Welcome to FABO from KC! We like to see pics of your project. FABO Big Block Forum

    What is your favorite performance muffler?

    Member VOETOM made me up a pair of these. They should flow pretty well. Unfortunately, we won't know how they sound until I get an engine in the car! Here is a pic next to a stock 340 muffler. [/URL][/IMG] And another showing the guts. [/URL][/IMG]

    Timing Chains

    I just bought a Cloyes for my 408 build?!? Lots of people here were saying they were good timing sets??? WTH???

    BB for SB...Your opinions please.

    I've always been a small block A body guy so my opinion won't help much but I'll throw my two cents in. A used 440 in decent shape should be good trade bait for a solid 360. When buying ANY used engine, unless you know the guy, it should be considered a core to be rebuilt. I bought a used...

    lokar kickdown linkage

    Joe beat me to the link... That's a big price difference. Anyone have any real world experience using this kit over an extended time period?

    Good reliable Kansas City area machine shop?

    After being recommended to them a couple of times now, I'm going to use Automotive Machine and Performance in Lawrence. They are supposedly Mopar guys who race a big block Cuda and have built performance oriented engines for over 20 years. I spoke with Doc there the other day and he seemed...

    408 stroker vs. 500 stroker Challenge fun!!

    I will be building a 408 over next winter and I have budgeted $7500 for the build. And that is using my existing block, intake and ignition.

    Before I make a mistake please help new mopar fan!!

    I'm not going to try and sway you either way. It's your car build it the way YOU want it. The big block has it fans, and certainly carries the Wow factor. But if you're a young guy who is new to Mopars, a small block swap would get you where you want to be with a lot less headaches. You live...
