Turbo440Dart
crank runner over-er
Suppose an update here won’t hurt. Almost bare block on a stand? Yep. I hurt it. Not sure how bad, but it blue smokes good out the fender exit, can’t even light the turbo off foot braking it anymore, coolant is black and it misses pretty bad. Roll the coals to it and it’ll run half decent for a bit. ASSuming I got a couple ring lands. Gonna slowly put this together. Little more compression, but mainly stronger parts than the factory cast garbage.

Hey, thats learning. Its ok to figure the weakest parts 
That really sucks that you hurt it, but all the hard parts of your build are already complete! I bet you’ll enjoy the car much more with some forged components and subsequent stress relief.

I knew it was getting tired and it was basically self inflicted at this point so I can’t be upset by it. Definitely going to be peace of mind having better parts in it.

Where’s that big red X?
Boost is easy. Get out and do it. You ain’t too dumb.
Okay, I'll get my junk finished and then I'll have some extra cash maybe. I'll give it a shot, I will need to talk to you on the phone for hours though.

Dropped the block off December 7th, it was done on the 12th and never got a call. Picked it up last Saturday. Brushed some hemi orange on it and knocked the freeze plugs in it. Need to order main and rod bearings and start putting it together.
As a bonus. My dad cruised over in with his real 383 67 barracuda to hang out. Always a good time.

Since it’s a rush job it’s what was on the shelf at the time. Wiseco piston, scat rod and a stock forged crank.

Good thing the stock cast pistons don't say thatIt’s the “not recommended for boost” part that gets me with the pistons

“It’s better than what was in it” is what I’ve been telling everyone

Meh. Don’t concern yourself with such silly nonsense. I can blow up anything.It’s the “not recommended for boost” part that gets me with the pistons

What does Steve Morris say?
Boost fixes everything. Or it breaks everything. Either way it's cool.
Something like that. But I am enjoying the build. Keep up the good work.

Thank you sir. I’m slowly chipping away at it, and the 4 speed conversion for the duster. Too many irons in the fire sometimes
