I started out wanting to put a big block rb motor in it, the 440's are cool but i weighed the pros and cons, more room for everything so i chose the 400, and it is 70 ish lbs lighter than a 440. I have the big block conversion done, did a mock up with motor and trans, everything fit real nice. I have weld in subframe connectors in it. These are cut and coped to follow the floor contours. The plan is to get it painted and driving this year, i have a running stock 400 im going to throw a gasket kit, cam/lifters, timing chain, oil pump etc. I have the schumacher ceramic headers, so the plan for cam break in is a set of zoomies! Cant wait haha. I have a freshly rebuilt 727 and a factory high stall converter for now, i will do a 3000 stall with the stroker.Next year i will begin to round up parts for a 470 stroker. This will be a mostly street driven car, trailered(due to the 3.91's) to the strip once in a while when the bugs are worked out. Two tracks here one is 200 miles away the other is 35.
