While I wouldn’t say I’m ignoring good advice I would say it was foolish of me to pick up those parts. There’s over 100 replies to this thread and for me at least there’s quite a bit to digest and consider. Sure some of that is drama but I’m aware that there’s a lot of good advice to consider. I...

My pistons are .125-.127 in the hole so the increase would be there but not as much. Might make good paperweights from the sounds of it

Right now I’m shifting at 4900 due to the wet spaghetti noodles some people refer to as stock style valve springs. Anything past 5100 I get valve float. As for the carb it was what I had that was tuned at the time and have wanted to switch to an 850 for a while.

Well not sure if this is much of an improvement but I couldn’t pass up this deal! $100 for 1970 440 HP pistons, new set of rings and what I’ve been told was a set of mildly ported 906 heads. That last claim I’m pretty sure is untrue but the ports ARE really smooth so I believe they could at...

Have a brand new set of 318 60 over pistons I’m looking to offload. Purchased them off the Summit Racing demo rack so the box is rough but no pistons appear to have any damage and they look brand new. These are set up for a full floater style rod as well. Located in Fenton MI 48430. Will ship at...

Super helpful! I’m planning on going for a 484 cam and a 3.91 gear but it might be a 13.000 with my luck lol!

I believe I’ve seen this engine on marketplace. It would for sure be a major bump in performance however I think I’m going to at least try to save the 440 if it’s still saveable. I also have a set of 70 HP pistons that I have been contemplating putting in as well. Just unsure if it’s worth it to...

I’ve been thinking discs more for safety. That car is squirrelly after 110! (I mean officer I was only doing 70!)

I have a ported set of 906s that I recently acquired from a labor trade. Sadly 2 of the exhaust ports have helicoils and one has a broken stud. Still wondering if it’s worth it to get them fixed up. When I originally put on the 516s I did note that the motor had legitimately no ring ridge, 4.320...

Yeah and I’m well aware that I missed out on the days of so called “low buck” performance (only by about 30 years lol!) I always try to learn as much as I can from older folks who didn’t have the tech and speed parts we do today because I always hear stories how you can still make good power...

Personally I think it looks a lot better than it did when I got it

Sorry to hear about that, I try to get my father involved but sadly he’s a die hard olds guy so he wants nothing to do with my mopars!

Might be a case of “if you can’t race it, chrome it”

I get comments like this quite often and I usually don’t address them or just don’t pay attention to them. As Bob stated, it’s his opinion and he’s ok to think whatever he wants. If I had to say something about it however I would say it’s simply due to the high price of entry in mopars that...

All things I should’ve considered in my original post my apologies. All my time slips are with the car in storage but my best 60’ was .233 and my average 60’ is .2409 over the 15 runs I’ve made on the car total. I am trying to stay under 5k as of right now and I’m not particularly looking to...
