If you're starting from scratch,a 3rd. gen. Hemi would be a good way to go. Much stronger block,good heads readily available,less weight ,aftermarket support, etc..etc. A good first step would be to learn all you can on the subject of turbocharging. Corky Bells book Maximum Boost was pretty...

GT45 T4 V-Band 1.05 A/R 98mm Huge 600Plus HPs Boost Upgrade Racing Turbo charger | eBay I feel like a chump, I bought mine when they were $249. They work and are anything but expensive. Take them apart and clean out any chips, reassemble and go.

Been doing it for the last 5 years with one built as a 470.I run 2 of the ebay GT 45 knock-offs, but 1 would work for a 400 at modest power levels. Look up some of the Richard Holdener vids on Youtube, he has run that turbo on just about everything. Look for the vid where he ran twins on a 468...

I have a Yukon set of 3.55's in a 742 case. Had to set the backlash a bit toward the loose side of spec. to get everything happy& quiet. No problems after that. 1350 yoke, inboard spring perches, long studs in stock axles. Would sell you the entire rear end if you like. I went to a Strange dana 60.

Give it what it wants. My timing on my current engine(470) is Sniper controlled and I got the highest idle vacuum at 30 deg. initial. I have it at 35 deg. total. If I were you,for now, I would set the total at 35-36deg. and hook the vac. advance to manifold vacuum.Ran my old 383 that way with a...

They had that in the early years. Shot a stream of oil toward an opening on the rod as it passed by.

X 10,000,000 Don't skimp on a part that can leave you walking.

If he has the lift, maybe you could hire on as a $.01/hr. "employee" and get it out for him to fix.Watch and learn along the way,and maybe bring a younger stronger helper to train.Mine's been done with a floor jack,1X6 board, and a nylon ratchet strap a number of times. It's not for everyone...

You have a P.M.

Did a 390 ford for a local guy 9 years ago and had this same discussion. Went with a re condition of the factory iron arms. Had the valve tip radius re ground with a new set of pushrods. Re used the shafts as they were varnished but un worn. I told him that the shiny anodized ebay aluminum arms...

Cheap 69m.m. ebay chinese."Hong Kong Hurricane" special. Kinda got shafted. Bought them when they were $249. Last I saw they were $169. E-heads, Icon 2618 pistons, Eagle rods,offset 440 crank, M1 w /Sniper inj

Satellite 11-10-2021 - YouTube Not trying to make this a turbo post, but this is the current "build"

I think those rockers will need a cup end on the pushrod. You will want to get a checking /adjustable pushrod and measure to get the actual length you will need.

I had the converter and the cam made for the combo. If I short shift second gear under much load, it stalls back to about 4700 r.p.m. I had a cheap 10" in it toward the end of the 383 era, and it would blow right through it quickly. The Dynamic drives like a high stall for about the first 6 feet...

Satellite 11-10-2021 - YouTube Sorry, I guess I'm a little late to this post. Been boosted for 11 years now. Started with an old 383, and stepped up to a 470 in 2017.Home made 3/8" girdle&a half fill of Hardblock in a 75 block. Had a homebrewed blowthrough carb, but have since gone to the...
