They run because they have to. But there is nothing “stock” about them. Well…maybe the bolt patterns…lolol

Back to the OPs question… I have a 4.250 Bloomer crank in a 4.06 bore R3 block. (440”). The block was barely touched/clearanced for piece of mind, if nothing else.

This is correct. Lower compression and less quench often still results in detonation.

There are several sources for flat top pistons for the 408 combo. Google search…

Yep. Indy 360 heads go past 300 and will bolt up to your stock block.

Yep I’ve read that, but was just curious if anyone had did it anyway. I know of one on a street car, but it’s only driven on short trips around town. I want to put some miles on my heap. The full moroso electric pump makes the most sense, but I would need to create a provision for the heater hose.

Anyone run one of these on a street car?

Not yet, been busy with work/life stuff. I’ll be tinkering this weekend trying to get the water temp down and will post a clip or two.

I have a similar duration and a bit less lift cam that Bullet ground for me and my plan was to change that, get the compression up to 11:5 and go EFI but didn’t have the spare coin at the time. Now that it’s in the car and running I’ll do that stuff next year. To Dons point about the converter...

With my luck, probably! Thanks, it’s an amateur built low (relative) dollar garage car. Huge thank you to FABO member (and 25 year friend) ‘63GT and Ken DeSimas for their help in any way that I needed!

Yes sir.

Yes, it needs a smaller cam, will do that someday along with EFI... No engine assembly pics unfortunately. My dyno will be some 1/8 mile timeslips this fall!

Yep, big inch small blocks have been around awhile now. Mine is as follows... 440 small block (4.25 crank/4.06 bore) R3 block Rod Bloomer stroker kit 10.6:1 Indy 360-1 heads T & D rockers Indy intake 1025 cfm 4150 carb Comp solid roller: .700/.672 - 270/276 @ .050 112 center

Cam is a bit rowdy, but FUN to drive around town.

Thank you. Garage built with spare change...lol. I haven’t made the drive to the track yet; will do that in the fall air. Have a few things to tidy up, including getting the cruise temp down from 210 degrees. Yikes!!!

A few pics...dirty as it is...

The car is a Frankenstein of a combo, I will admit...lol. The converter was on my shelf, bought a few years ago for the mild 360 that was originally planned for this heap. After talking to TA, it was decided to try it behind this motor for decent street manners. Same with the 3.55’s, as it’s...

I’m going the street/strip route with this: 440 small block (4.25 crank/4.06 bore) R3 block Rod Bloomer stroker kit 10.5:1 Indy 360-1 heads T & D rockers Indy intake 1025 cfm 4150 carb Comp solid roller: .700/.672 - 270/276 @ .050 112 center Pro built 904 with the best parts Turbo Action...

I’ve used that Scott Drake grommet on MP cast covers as well as my fabbed valve covers. Works great!!!

I just plugged a drive shaft in from Speedway. It was built by Fastshafts, a local builder for them. Great service...arrived here in CA 7 (SEVEN!!!) days after ordering. It looks like a well done piece! As for measuring, FOLLOW the instructions on their website. Mine was spot on!

440”, R3 block, Indy heads, solid roller. Pump gas street car under construction.

I googled them and there’s one in Wyoming and one in Georgia. The Wyoming seems to the best choice, based on Google activity. Good luck! I once bought a race car from Irving. Very honest and down to earth guy! The car was exactly what he represented. If the opportunity ever presented itself, I...

Yes you can. I did with Transdapt conversion mounts.

I sure hope so!

That’s what she said! Baaaahaha. I have been inspired by your deal! No bar/cage as we are running out of tracks in Kalifornia. But Sac (until it closes) will let me make a few 1/8 mile squirts on a test and tune night. If it hooks and can go 6.5-something, I’ll be tickled pink! Especially on a...

I feel inadequate. My lowly deal is a 4.06 bore R3 block with a 4.25 crank = 440 inches. 10.5:1 pump gas street Indy head combo. 650-ish HP.

Cool van!!! What does it weigh?

ARP hardware and have a trusted local shop check them!

THANK YOU!!!
