Caused myself some grief last week on a test run with the new converter, sounds like I threw a rod bearing. The car drove an 1/8th mile back and has 80psi of oil pressure, but now has a low pitched knock. So, selling my 440 & turbo setup to fund a GEN III N/A Hemi build.
Basic Build Prices;
GEN III Hemi 5.7 ($800-$1,500)
MSD 6 controller w/ adapter cables ($700)
Muscle Motors 'short' Drag Pak intake ($600)
Adapter kit for 727 trans ($400)
Motor mounts ($250)
Carb ($300)
Oil Pan ($250)
Conversion Longtube Headers ($350-found locally)
Questions;
Camshaft, is it worth swapping for what looks like modest gains without ported heads?
