452 is not a closed chamber head. Any good 750 will feed that engine well. Remember you have a shorter stroke than most brand X small blocks so it will want to wind up!

Uh yes they do..... USbody.com | Fiberglass Auto BOdy parts, Monster Truck and Full Race bodies. Molding fiberglass since 1987.

I'd swear I posted this pic yesterday....

I'm running a Proform 900 with a 50 cc front pump and 37 nozzle with a home made cam and 30 cc rear with 32 nozzle on a 452. It's just about right with the engine up to temp but I'd like to use a hollow screw on the front nozzle but all the ones I find are oversize. That no stall converter is...

He did mention a stoker in the future which would mean putting some $$ heads sooner or later....

Stealth heads would be another affordable option compared to pistons etc....

What temp thermostat? My 440 Demon overheated till I put a 195 in it.

383s like to wind and 3.91 on up to 4.30 gears will give it more go as well.... It would also love a tunnel ram with single or dual carbs! Usually a 50 HP bolt on that doesn't need refilling.

The only cutting of the weights should be for balancing. The two engines use the same oil pan and windage trays. The main journals need turning to size and there is the option of Chevy rod journal size to make a 470....

and then the E-core coil which I do run on my 452 Duster for $18.54 Universal Pc91 12V High Output External Male E-Core Ignition Coil - Black

Some guys have run these and had decent things to say but I can't vouch for them.... Mopar Chrysler BB 440 Ready to Run Electronic Distributor (Vacuum) - Red Cap

Same part for $51.50 I have not run one but had a bad experience with one for a small block on a friends car.... The OEM units really don't wear much. Mopar Chrysler BB 440 Race Pro Billet Aluminum Distributor - Red Cap

Any 72 to early 80s truck, motorhome or Chrysler without Lean Burn is a good candidate for a donor..... Post up in the Parts Wanted section and I'll bet a member here has one to sell you!

You are pretty much stuck with the aftermarket replacement pieces..... like the Cardone Part # 30-3896 or Spectra CH-14..... One thing to check is rotor indexing when you get one of these. Some are put together from mismatched piles of parts and can cross fire in the cap.

Run the OEM electronic distributor with the GM HEI module remote mounted on a heat sink. This allows you to drop the ballast resistor and gain spark power. Check with TrailBeast, he sells a kit I believe.... This is a little over kill on the heatsink. You will want an E-core style coil with this...

I think TF should donate heads for the comparison! :lol: Size is not everything so if these flow comparably with less cross section the low end manners and torque should be superior.....

Years ago a friend of mine with a machine shop ran across a set of 0.040 over very low compression 440 pistons. I picked them up for cheap. I wish I remembered the compression height. I bored the 400 0.020 and the 440 pistons came out at zero deck! 906 heads were used. I had it all balanced with...

Now it is called Mopar rollers of the High Plains or some such.... It is on Fakebook but I dropped that a couple of years ago.

Definitely need more radiator and running a 195 T-stat is also a very good idea. Sounds funny but it really works.

I ran 516 heads on a 400 with great success. I did upgrade to the 1.74 exhaust and do some bowl blending.

Check your valve shrouding with the Stealths on the 383. Probably some flow to be gained with bore notching. I even do it on 440 and 400 blocks when I can spare the CCs. The head gasket will show you where...

I've been using Motorcraft 15W-40 Diesel, 5 quart jugs at Walmart about $17. SAE 15W-40 Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil Motorcraft® SAE 15W-40 Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil is a high-quality light and heavy-duty diesel engine oil recommended by Ford Motor Company. It is particularly recommended...

Soon you can drive it and have some dipstick walk up and ask "What year Mustang is that?":lol:

I've used the 68-70 B body manifolds on several of these with 440s. I did grind the manifold a little but I also used elephant ear mounts that allowed me to move the engine over a little too.

Definitely not a 73 up spool type K member though. The mounts should look like these...

Same thing that makes the difference between the big block Chevy passenger car and tall deck truck blocks.

Because the deck of the block is lower on B vs RB which means the RB (440)engine is about an inch wider.

I built a few "loose" engines with the pistons in backwards and they would make a kind of hollow knocking sound until they warmed up and the pistons expanded a bit. Looking forward to the report.

Dang it Tom you are getting as grumpy as Rusty! So some of us only know "amost" everything!:rofl: How much is it off the intake when you deck 0.060?
