you have a willing buyer.
Damn this is sounding expensive. Would I have to run that idle speed solenoid, or can I get by without it? That thing is around $175.By the looks of you baseplates all 3 would need to change to use mopar linkage, and you need the linkage for the other side to hook to the pods, it gets$$$.

Absolutely not, but I have one and I'm not using it...Would I have to run that idle speed solenoid, or can I get by without it? That thing is around $175.
Agreed, although I did consider using mine as an AC idle speed enhancer.No need for the solenoid unless you need a high idle speed and your engine diesels on shutoff.
Well... We All love shiny chrome Right?Anything else I'm missing?

Very nice set-up and looks similar to mine. Do you like this better than when you had the vacuum set-up?love my mechanical six pack. I run mine on a 500 inch engine though so it needed a little extra work to get it where it needed to be.

Yes mostly stock and street driven. Mild purple camshaft (don't know the specs) and headers. However, I am saving my pennies for an engine rebuild and hoping to get it up to the 550hp range.Vacuum setup, IMO, is going to be much better for your particular application, if I understand it correctly, mostly stock street driven?
550HP is common for a 6bbl stroker build, and I have seen many over 600HP as a 505-512 was my plan for a couple of years. I finally took the first step and put a deposit on a Bill Mitchell Products aluminum block, and since I stepped up there, I am also going to 541 cu in.Yes mostly stock and street driven.

I would love to have the money you have spent or contemplating spending on your vehicles, to invest in the stock market....there are some significant opportunities to be had that will return far more "bang for the buck" in terms of capital gains and return on investment than any vehicle modification.....but this is just me... I'd rather have the cash..... Just my opinion of course.550HP is common for a 6bbl stroker build, and I have seen many over 600HP as a 505-512 was my plan for a couple of years.

Because my 70 Roadrunner is a V-Code, I have always said it would always have a 3x2 intake, but with the displacement of the planned build, it makes sense to go to Max Wedge size ports. I have the old school Super Stock 6bbl intake from Weiand that will have to be modded to MW port size. I guess there's a chance that I may do an Indy Mod Man 6bbl top instead, depending on what happens when I ask Wilson Manifolds about modding the Weiand. I really want to use the Weiand because it looks so cool, and I know that may seem wrong, and max 6bbl performance is what most would seek, but then again I would have 541 cu in of stroker to help in that regard.
The mechanical 6bbl seems to be the natural mate to the Weiand, but I am going to try the ones I have now first.
Well Bob, I don't have anyone to leave any money to, my wife is better off than I am, and the Roadrunner and however much time I may have left to enjoy it is where I have been investing what I have. I've covered in a number of posts and threads why I didn't go the "stock" route of restoration, I have friends who like to go to the drag strip as do I, and I enjoy local car show participation and taking my car to the track, although that was only a few times a year because of traction problems, which I have focused on resolving in my latest round of mods.I would love to have the money you have spent or contemplating spending on your vehicles, to invest in the stock market....there are some significant opportunities to be had that will return far more "bang for the buck" in terms of capital gains and return on investment than any vehicle modification.....but this is just me...

I understand your point exactly.....yes...there is no guarantee of tomorrow. Its just a matter of personal preference. All that I've accumulated over the years will go directly to my wife and my designated surviving family via an "In Trust For" account that allows direct transfer of assets, bypassing all Federal and State probate provisions, basically tax free to the benefactors. I wish you well with your endeavours and hope they turn out as expected.Well Bob, I don't have anyone to leave any money to, my wife is better off than I am, and the Roadrunner and however much time I may have left to enjoy it is where I have been investing what I have.

As far as the aluminum block, I thought about the chances I had to get a good factory block for a stroker, and I decided to get the BMP block instead.
I've lost 3 friends my age in as many years. "Tomorrow" or next time or next year aren't guaranteed. I may not make it through today.
Just my opinion...
