Hello everyone, I have been using for bbodies only for over 3 years now. Anytime I cannot figure out what is going on with my car I am usually able to find an answer here. I should have made a profile a while ago but glad to have made one now. 2/14/2018 I was able to buy my dream car. 1969 Plymouth roadrunner 383 4 speed car, Vitamin c with Vinyl top. I still have a little more to pay off but I want to go fast. The current 383 is numbers matching but doesn't break my neck when my foot is in it. I currently have 2 options for engines. I have a 1975 rv 440 and a 73 400 block. Both are stock bore. I have been trying to figure out which way to go for a few years now and the lack of funs have made it easy to wait. If money was not a factor I would be throwing in a twin turbo nelson racing 572 hemi. But it is and I am thinking about throwing a 871 blower on that stock 440 with some new pistons and maybe just getting the 452 heads done. I also like the idea of doing a 500ci 400 stroker build with good internals, trick flow heads, efi and having a 600+ NA build. I try to drive this car as much as possible because what's the point of owning your dream car if you don't drive it. I'm wondering if I would get over the blower in a manual car or if every time I would start it I would smile from ear to ear due to the blower. Who knows if I will ever make up my mind but i will take any and all advice. right now im trying to find the lowest compression pistons for both the 400 and 440 because using the 400 would be a slightly cheaper swap than the 440 due to the reuse of a few things from my 383. I have a few things to do before the motor, currently dealing with a ground issue that I have not been able to locate. I need better brakes I will never forgive myself if I get into a accident because I didn't upgrade the brakes. I am about to order some wilwoods and do that and then thinking about upgrading to a tremec 5 speed that I can ditch the 3.23 gears. Any and all suggestions are welcome. -Dillon
