Thats some good figuring that I never thought about. Was yours a kit or did you source your parts separately? The pistons in the kit that you are referring to are they available outside of a package deal. One other thing, do you save money going the kit route or is it about the same either...

My budget for the build is going to be around $3500-$4500. So with that I was going to try and reuse rods, use the steel crank I have, new pistons, Heads, Intake/Carb and Headers. There is movement on budget but I want to stay away from a $2000 stroker kit, if I can get the pistons and machine...

I was planning in using a EB performer intake and as far as headers go I don't have any as of yet but was thinking 1-3/4's. When you say "cut" the crank are you referring to grinding the mains or is there other stuff to do to it? Is the block work something I could do myself with a angle/die...

What heads would go good with a 400? Any advice on cam and carb would be appreciated as well. I was planning on doing a build for a spring/summer daily driver (I live in Hinterland Alberta, Canada lol). Something solid on the bottom end incase I get the urge for juice but other than that I was...

Hi All, I have an oppourtunity to get a 78' 400 motor for real cheap $200. This is a running motor out of a Newport I believe. I wanted to ask the question how much easier is it to put a 400 into an A body VS. a 440? Also what machining is involved? I have a 440 steel crank which I need to...

Turns out she sold the car. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks

Does anyone know the aprox curb weight of a 74' slant six Scamp? Thanks, JB

It seems I've posted this topic twice. oops! Can i delete it or do I need a Mod to do it? Anyhoo, i picked up a used forged crank today for 2 bills. Sky is the limit now. I plan to go to put a deposit on the car next weekend so I'll take lots of pics and post them when I get back. Cheers, JB

Hi all, I wanted to ask your opinions about a car I'm thinking about buying. It's a 74' Scamp with a slant 6 77,000 original miles. It has always been garage parked, no accidents and some minor surface rust on one rear quarter panel. The asking price is $4000 CAD. I have a 440 that a friend...

Hi All, I guess this is the place I should have posted my thread originally. What I Would like to do is rebuild a mild 440 to get 375-400hp out of it and then put it into a 74' Scamp. I am potentially going to buy the car next weekend. It has been garage parked for many years and was always...
