440 w2

[Streetwize]

Building another stroker this one will be a mild 4.25" crank 360 with mildly ported W2's off a nice 71 360 block.

I have a pretty rare W2 street dominator (which is like the SBM Strip dominator except it has a water heated plenum channel.

I have 1.65 roller rockers and I'm thinking a very mild endurance solid roller. Maybe [email protected] and .550 ish lift.

I plan to run a low gear 904 (might go 5 speed though) and a 3.55 geared 8 3/4

Oh yeh it's going in a 1966 Valiant A100 Wagon.

Thoughts?

saw that wagon for sale. looked nice. didn't have a rotted cowl or something?

 

[twayne24365]

Gonna be a cool build!!

 

[Streetwize]

Some rust through in the cowl but it hasn't propagated to the floorboards.

Overall a VERY COOL CAR

The irony of building this into a 'sleeper' is that it will so obviously NOT be a resto-survivor simply because (to anyone who would care - namely all of US) it will be too cool and rar
e of a find to have not been Built as one, LOL
