Most were hyp. if not cast. What really takes a beating are the rod caps & bolts, especially if the pistons are heavy. I pulled apart a factory 440 that had a stock bottom end, it had several 175 shot passes on it, when i tore it done, the caps slipped right off the rods. Not saying the...

Thats why it still amazes me why some will still play Russian roulette with it.

No necessarily in a 1990 corvette if the engine was factory.

Have you ever seen what happens with a bottle explodes or...........Ain't pretty.

No set in stone rules, but there should be 2 in my book. No warming bottle with torch. No loose bottle in car.

Nah, make it 300 & add 20* lol. Ok, seriously, I'd start with a 100 shot & pull about 4*, If you run a dedicated fuel cell up front with an elec. pump strictly for the plate, I'm sure you can get away with 150, but i wouldn't go passed that, run 110 in the cell & premium in the tank for the...

Thanks, so was i, I got hooked about that same age with mopars, my 1st. mopar was a 70 Sport Satty with a 383 super commando, had all the options, even power windows, it was B5 blue, but it was rough, needed full resto but ran like a champ, only had 87000 miles on it. Its just time for a change...

I would agree, right around 325ish at the flywheel, I'd think 335ish with a good tune.

The comp 280 has a dur. of 230/230 @50 & its on a 110 LSA & 106 ICL, The MP 284/484 has a dur. of 238/238 @50 & is on a 108 LSA if i remember currectly, I'm thinking the ICL is 104. I think the cam Duster360 listed might work good.

Nope, sold it 3 yrs. ago, just seems like yesterday i was driving it. I keep trying to tell myself i'm getting too old for these hotrods, so i sell & buy another lol, I'm looking to hold on to this one as long as possible, there getting just too expensive to build.

Heres my baby now, had it going on 2 yrs. Have to take some more recent photos with the 469 in it & the 9", This is when it had the 406.

Air-Gap.

Thanks, I was really surprised how well it responded to nitrous, did you check out the video in my sig., i ran up against a factory 69 Yenko 427 Camaro 4sp., i wasn't on the bottle in that pass, he ran a 12.4 to my 12.5, we were neck & neck.

It should, i'd go for the 360 magnum & just carb it. You'll need to run an electric fuel pump, so its best to either sump the stock tank or run a cell, You could fuss with all the EFI wiring but i wouldn't.

I'd say the car will run in the 11s at sea level no problem. Looks good.

Heres more. Home made sub-frame ties, As you can see in the one pic, i replaced the whole roof skin, the vinyl top took the original one out.

Whats done to his 454? Its real easy to run low-mid 12s in a full bodied chevelle with a 454 if it has a few goodies, I'm running a very mild 469 BBC in my G bodied Cutlass & loving it. Those 71 Swingers are light, alot lighter then most think. Car looks great, mine looked very close to...

I installed a 96 360 magnum in a 71 dart about 3 yrs. ago, Car was just like yours, same color too, they look like twins lol, anyways, It had a factory 8.3/4, All i did with the 360 was install some RHS heads (factory's were cracked) & had the factory cam re-ground from Bullet 477/477, 218/218...

71 Dart, weight un-known, 95 360, bone stock bottom end, RHS heads, re-ground factory roller from bullet, 477/477, 218/218 on a 112, Summit headers, 650dp, Crosswind RPM, MSD dist., 3.73 gears, 27" MT DR, 11" 2800 PTC converter. 12.5s @ 105 NA, 8.0s @ 85 On a 125 shot. best run...
