Yep no problem

Don’t claim to be a know it all but here’s a video i did on some things to check and how to have a good chance at a successful install.

there was a factory 10.5” big block aluminum bell for 70-01 B/E bodies and it has the 4.80 retainer opening and will work in an A body. #2892513

looks like you have a 73+ spool mount K member and its had the mods done to make it like the old direct connection big block K member

:thumbsup:

108 is probably the center line degree.

It’s your Duster do what you like but I wouldn’t consider using that engine in it. As stated they are better suited for early hot rods. Had it belonged to my dad I would purchase a nice run stand and stick it on there to fire it up every now and then.

Just plugged in all your info and used 3/16 to top ring and come up with 9.6:1. Are the pistons flat top?

Go here and plug in your info and that will get you really close. Compression Calculator

crane ultra pro rollers Nice build you have there:thumbsup:

tti 2-1/8” ceramic coated

Not yet it’s close! I’m gonna build a run stand while I wait 6 weeks on my headers:BangHead: Here’s how it sits now like I say it’s close.

I used 3/8 pushrods from Smith Bros. the push rod head and block passages have been enlarged and the pass through on the heads have bronze tubes installed.

Tim Banning or Ray Barton both would do you right. Just call them both give your short block info and what you want to do with the car. See what head work they recommend and why and make your decision from there.

Static compression is calculated at 11:1

I I think that sometimes that says a lot about a guy when he don’t trash other people’s stuff especially when he’s trying to sell you his. I think Tim knows hemis but at the same time Ray has been building and racing them for years.

Another shot of the home for this hemi

I will call Ray Monday and see if I can get the info on the heads. I will say that I really can’t see how you could get any more flow out of these heads other than going bigger on the valves they are opened up all the way into the pushrod passage and he installed bronze tubes in them to seal...

Well they are the custom heads but they are stock appearing. Didn’t ask for flow numbers and the ports are huge:lol: I called Ray and told him what my short block was and he said I’ll fix you up. The replacement head came ready to use the custom head is exactly the same with unfinished ports

Its a 496 the heads are the Stage V replacement heads with port job by Ray and stock size valves he did a killer job on them too!

thanks guys this has been a long time dream of mine since 12 years old and I turned 50 the 10th of this month. I hope it turns out well.

here’s an oil pan i got from @RAT ROD AL got it all fixed up and ready for paint.

I’m now working on valve covers and oh boy! It has been a real challenge so far. The repop covers are... well let’s just say the need some work. And you have the spark plug tube length to get right. So that’s where I’m at presently trying to make some valve covers work.

Here’s a mock up of intake and carbs. Stage V intake and 650 Edelbrock AVS2s

If you’ve ever built a hemi then you gotta know how terrible the factory valve geometry is. So I had to move up to better rockers to correct the geometry problem with the factory rockers. So I went with the Stage V ones just seemed fitting since I had their heads. Problem solved!

Cam dialed in timing cover and heads are on

The cam button and one of AndyF’s sweet billet timing covers. Very well designed for rollers and cam buttons. and an aluminum water pump housing fits right over it.

Next come the heads Stage V all done up by Ray Barton

Just thought I would post up some pics of the progress of the latest build. Got the cam dialed in.
