Mopar purple .528 for a 383?

You got the ac , the fuel line, AND the carb, for $250?!? You're a thief. (KIDDING, LOL.)
I figure that a/c and fuel line are worth almost $200, so basically $50 for the carb. Lucky bugger, lol.
He was asking $450 and I asked if he would sell just the carb for $250 and then he just gave it all to me.
 
My opinion is a bit biased due to the experience I had, but I don't know if I can trust purplecam. Had 509 in my 440, 10.5:1. Loved it for awhile, after a couple years it suddenly failed. By fail I mean it broke into several pieces and completely wrecked the block beyond repair. I was only cruising at about 25mph when it happened.

Holy **** !
The cam could have been dropped and fractured before you got it.
 
Yea I'm not entirely sure what caused it, and it was running in the car for a few years at least by that point. I managed to get lucky and find a later model block ('78) at a fairly good price in town the same day, so that's what I have now. Much lower compression, I think the cam we put in was a compcam 224.

Wow, that's a bummer.
I guess that's one benefit of running a billet core
 
Great street cam, i run this cam in my car and even on a few customers stroker builds !
Must run roller rockers, DO NOT BUY SPEEDMASTER buy decent arms.
My personal engine runs the crane gold 1.6 on a great pair of ported 452's (90's build) and has done 15,000 miles without lifting a cyl head !
EFI makes it more tame and streetable, 11.02 @ 120 Heavy A-body dart with junk leaf springs..... should do a high 10.95 once i bash in the mono-leafs !
Bed the cam with high amounts of zinc in the oil
in advance it 2*
Enjoy
 
Got the pistons and rings,ordered a fluid damper and it’s turning into a build…lol
