I was brought home from the hospital in a 1960 Valiant

Please don't hold us hostage like that. We'll do anything to help. The difference between a truck and a car engine is slight. Probably just the cam. The heads may be different but probably not. If I had to do it all over again I'd avoid the 727 for any number of reasons. They're heavier, it...

Back in the day these old things were plentiful. If you had a four door it's because it was something Dad handed down. That's back in the day, but things are different now. It's to the point that if you're just getting into the hobby you take what you can get.

There's also something to be said about a full engine compartment.

I think everyone in this post is right so far. I's also a relief to see a big block/small block thread that didn't turn into an argument. Must be full moon time again.

I built you a couple similar engines on Dyno 2k and I went somewhat modest. The 416 stroker produced 328 HP and 417 torque. The 440 produced 358 HP and 446 torque. The build was 9.5 compression with a .450 lift cam with whatever duration the performance street profile decided to use. Small...

All Colorado interstates are 75 except in the metro areas. But I bet he OP is right, or close to right https://jalopnik.com/utah-raises-some-speed-limits-to-80-mph-because-its-sa-1343843178

Some assembly required.

67, 68 and 69. Notchback as opposed to Fastback. The fastback was the more sporty of the two and more popular for some strange reason. Maybe it was the psychedelics of the late sixties.

That's exactly what I did and It'll do just fine. I have M/T 26-9.5-15 under there and it just barely fits without fender rubbing. I do have room for a little shy of one more inch of back spacing with the same tire but I can't remember what I have right now.

In their stock form they're in the $1k ballpark. Modified and shortened? Who knows?

As soon as it's full. There's thousands of members that can swing by and let him know that he's out of his mind.

Let this thread fill up and send him a link.

And wrap a pretty decent GTX around it.

Kind of cool how those gauges work with the key off

What's a D450 fit? Must be something pretty cool because my D453s were in the $520 ballpark.

Wash it, stick duct tape to the bottom, write info on duct tape, and throw it on the bus. Cheap!!!

At a purported 1/10 of a second per hundred pounds there's a lot of easier and less expensive avenues to gain that 3/10ths of a second. That's just my opinion of course.

There should also be some numbers on the front of the block stamped right below the left head. They may be a little easier to access.

There's a distinct possibility.

I knew it all along Tim. I'm going to hang on to this for a while if you don't mind. :thumbsup:

10% here and I've never had a problem. My winter storage procedure for the Cuda is to drive it into the garage and turn the key off. In the spring I pour a shot of gas down the carb and fire it up. I have never had a fuel related problem as a result of my winterizing procedure.

I do quite well on 85 here with 10% alcohol. The first sentence set the tone for the article. That's not entirely true. In fact, it's more false than true. Lower octane burns faster and hotter while higher octane is less prone to detonation. Less prone to detonation because it's more stable and...

I used body paint on my engine. I figured that if you could fry an egg on the hood of your car, it'll hold up to the heat of an engine. So far, so good.

I thought it was just overspray that got on the manifolds during the painting as opposed to painting the complete manifold.

I'd throw a number out there of round $1200-$1800 but I may be a little high.I wouldn't pay that much for one but a lot of people would. Maybe even more. Naturally the 70 would be worth a little more than the 73 but the 70 would have a forged crank. There's a fair chance the 73 does too but not...

The price of college tuition, books, dorms..... pretty much guarantees continued class separation. The rich can go to college and the poor can go to work. Usually an overworked and underpaid life follows those that can't afford college to begin with. Then they can't send their kids to college...

Our generation could work our way through college delivering pizza.

I don't want to make it any worse than it is, but that number that you gave and the numbers from 68 are "Household Income" and not "Individual Income". In 1968 it wasn't the norm for moms to work as much as it is today. So the household income in a lot more cases today is two wage earners where...
