I'd call this a definitive answer, there's expertise being quoted.Don't worry about it is the answer. Mopar boys been dropping 440 cranks in 400 blocks long before there was anything aftermarket.

I think the real point of offset grinding the crank would be to gain some compression.318 is notoriously low comp. Raise the pistons in the bore some. Not really to gain more cid.After all the real point of the build is to show case what can be done with stock parts.Looks like 302 heads might be...

Fun thread! Filled with great info. Fabo guy's are great.

My seat of the pants meter agree's with you as well. For fun I slapped a BB tq on a small block and the difference was noticeable.

True. There are other limiting factors however,like cam,intake,exhaust,valves,ports etc..

Forgot about this thread! Has to be one of my all time favorites. 318willrun,thank you for your noteworthy efforts,and taking the time to share your results. It is always good to remember the grassroots of our hobby,and how it doesn't need to cost a fortune to have a fun mopar!

Any plans to mini tub? You might need even more tire.Turbo's produce prodigious amounts of torque and horsepower,but the launch of the car isn't as hard as a big block. But get it up in the mid range and your car may end up facing a wall mid track without enough traction.

Journey indeed!Congrats on your perseverance.

Wel then.That car just picks right up and flies doesn't it!

Following. I'm curious to see what it makes. Somewhere between 370 and 380 h.p is my guess. Small cam and the eddie heads wont make more because they want more cam.

Well if the block is thick,and you have a factory forged crank plus good rods hell push the thing and see what it'll take! I know the factory 440 forged cranks routinely withstood 700 h.p,not sure what a small block crank will take.

Mike,I am all too familiar with illness,as both myself and my wife have multiple sclerosis. I am more fortunate,as I took measures and took charge of my health. I have gotten back some of what I lost,but my wife has continued to slide downward. I really get it,the frustration,the expense,the...

How does it run? And have you asked about dual exhaust qualifying as an allowed modification according to this insurance company? Really get a kick in the pants boost in power from a 4 bbl and dual exhaust.

Awesome! Enjoy the extra power.

Big stroke in that 360. Could pick up a few h.p on the cheap with oil control,get a windage tray. Big strokes wrap the crank in oil when winding rpm. Not sure what rpm a windage tray would come into effect? It may be more of a race thing than a street car thing.

360 has some real grunt allright,due to that long stroke.

Truck motors will have exhaust valve rotator's,but that's all that was different about mine.

Low $$ defines me. I said it before in your low $ 318 thread,about these ideas and tecniques applying across the board to any cid or make for that matter.I should be able to restart my project soon,will have some $ to work with. Im thinking that the 400 block Im working with will receive similar...

Runs great!

Cool!

Sumbitch,at least you found the problem! I hate chasing electrical gremlins...

I guess that's why edelbrocks new carbs come with an instruction manual and a chart in the back that helps to change the jets correctly. I didn't have a bog with my eddie,it was more on t he rich side. 2 steps down in jets and it was fixed.Obviously edelbrock is aware of the issue..

Back in the day,before there were stroker kits,hot rodders did it themselves. Swapping a forged 440 rb crank into a B block was a common way to go,and still is.

I do know the secondary air door sometimes needs adjustment,usually towards the tighter side.

Ignition switch???

Yup,leave the caps on and spray with a 150 shot....hahaha!

Your doing good,the pace is just fine!Motors in,tying up the loose ends is the grind.

Cool stuff Mr!

I know your busy,but.....whats up?

I agree with your assesment of the 7 1/4. I guess your luckier than my friends,whose 7 1/4 broke while sitting on a rail x ing.We managed to push it off the crossing before anything bad happened but oh boy,talk about scary...
