All of these cars are slightly different so what makes a 727 fit on one may not apply to another. However, on my '66 Dart, I was able to fit a 400/727 combo with just flattening the pinchweld at the bottom of the firewall. I did end up raising it an inch to allow for a transmission blanket.

Are those bushed, or do they have needle bearings?

When I spoke to them about ordering a set of these for a 470 build, they steered me away. Sounded like they only recommend them for mild street builds. They sure do look nice though.

You made the right choice. Good luck with the build!

Without ever hearing that 400 run or driving it, how do you know it even needs an upgrade? Have you pulled a valve cover? It may already have good rockers on it. Heck, the heads could be heavily ported. Either way, I'd be hesitant sinking money into it without getting a solid baseline first.

Probably a stupid question, but if those are solid lifters, why do they have a lock ring?

That's slick having one permenantly mounted in the engine bay. I'm adding that to my list for when I wire my '66. That's an awesome idea for folks with trunk-mounted batteries and non-stock wiring.

A bunch of the Mallory cut-to-length sets were on clearance recently. They're the same wires as the overpriced MSD ones, but were only about $20 a set. I'd check to see if they have any left. If not, they look identical to the Summit-branded ones I've purchased in the past. I'd bet money they're...

Trick Flow all day long. It's 512 inches - it ain't gonna be down on torque with the intake you already have.

I realize it's not much help now since you've already purchased a torque strap, but it's very easy with biscuit mounts. Simply drill through the driver's side mount and use a countersunk 3/8" bolt through the whole "sandwich" with a nylock nut on the top side. Only a keen eye would spot it and...

It just looks goofy in my opinion. I agree - we can only dream of having the aftermarket support the other guys have. We're lucky for everything we do have.

Easily remidied, but it's too bad they have to put their name on everything.

Did that $1600 include rod and main bearings, or a "precision balance" (whatever that means) like the 440 source kits? Either way, it's different and it's a Mopar big block, so what's not to like?? I'm looking forward to seeing the build. Have you thought about the top end at all?

Badass! Thanks for the update.

I've heard some guys have had to hone the ID of some of the cheap balancers due to improper sizing and/or issues with pulley alignment. One a side note, I had to laugh at the one review on Summit for the Speedmaster balancer. Dude built an aluminum 572 hemi, but cheaped out on a Speedmaster...

Interesting! I've never seen the purpose-built tool for removing those. Makes sense though. Hell, a bolt with grooves cut into it welded to a piece of all thread and a nut looks like it would get it done. The OP should be able to figure something out.

If a pilot bushing attachment on a slide hammer won't fit, make an adapter for the end of the slide hammer like this and thread it into the bushing. I made this one to remove a pilot bushing in my 727.

Keep in mind not all 950s actually flow 950 cfm. Pay attention to venturi and throttle bore sizes.

Same

Yep, that's how I've always done it. Max lift, then 0.100", 0.050", and 0.020" before and after just to make sure they all agree.

Does anyone besides Milodon make a big block gear drive that's worth a ****, or is Milodon basically the only one out there worth buying?

It's crazy how small big block Mopar heads are compared to chevy heads.

Did you check with TTI? Footnote #39

Check the TTI website/instructions. They've got measurement for where the factory located engines in these cars.

What's your solid roller cam recommendation for the OP's MW Indy-headed 512?

What heads do you run with that combo?

I've got a similar style radiator as you. I used Gates #20229 for the top hose.

I agree with the cut-to-fit approach. This is the set I used for my big block and they worked out great. They had plenty of length to route the wires (even #5 and #7) however you'd like. Summit Racing SUM-860825R Summit Racing™ 8mm Ignition Wires | Summit Racing

For me, it's not even necessarily the CAPS. It's the lack of punctuation, spelling errors, and run-on sentences. Those, coupled with the CAPS, makes it VERY difficult to read your posts. If people have to put that much effort into understanding what you're trying to say/ask, they generally...
