So after what seems like an eternity of looking at unsuitable blocks. bouncing back and forth between going with a gen 3 etc, my wife has come out and said to just buy a ritter block through a local speed supply - due in August....

Thanks all, a lot of food for thought here. I've been told it would be a wet sleeve by the time the block is prepped for it so not sure how well that would go. 318 stroker has been discussed but that size bore would apparently shroud the heads too much. I wasn't aware that blueprint did short...

Hey all, I'm a bit stuck moving forward with my build and would like a few opinions. The original plan was a LA 408+ stroker using the 360-1's and manifold that flow around 320-330 (as I recall). It will be going into my 64 Dodge Phoenix with a built 904 /5k stall and 3.9 9". Cam will be a...

My '64 Dodge Phoenix. Just starting a 408 build with a solid roller and indy 360-1 heads. While my engine builder is getting a bit carried away on power output, it should be a fun rig once it's back on the road. :thumbsup: Graeme.

well,it begins. I'll be picking up a set of ported Indy cylinder heads and manifold next week. I just need to decide and be set on exactly what I want from the car. Wish me luck! G.

Thanks for all the thoughts and opinions.:thankyou: As Tex said anything mopar in Australia is not cheap BB more so than SB. At a recent Mopar Sunday at Qld Raceway I was surprised at the amount of 10 and 11 sec SB cars with 'most' of them being strokers. I think I'm to stick with my original...

Hemi-itis, read my original post again...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I agree and am already preferenced to the small block for the exact reasons all have stated. Weight, handling etc plus the fact it's all there to start. Graeme. :thumbsup:

Hi All, First off, as always thanks in advance, tons of knowledge on here... Second - apologies for the long read! I have a '64 Phoenix (330/440 4 door) that I can't make a decision on an engine for. I already have a cruiser in the shape of my 63 cadillac so am planning on adding to the bruiser...

Sorry mate I didn't realise you'd asked for an update. Haven't done much with with the car for a month or so. I ended stripping all the glued down carpet and crud out of the interior floor with a wire wheel to fix some holes and cracks where the seats hadn't been mounted properly. Then the...

Bearman, yes, that is what I have been thinking. Maybe weld some threaded pipe through at the top of the frame - hose from tank, through the frame, hardline from there and then the same through the front crossmember. G.

Hi All, Just wondering how people have run a return style fuel system on a 64 dodge? Particularly between the tank and the front leaf spring mount? As per the attached photo’s the previous owner used copper of all things and was obviously happy bending by hand, kinks and all. Due to local...

I am running a carb. Looking at this set up purely from a compact all in one job.

I am looking at this for my Phoenix at the moment. Trey, did you get the 240 or 340 LPH pump? What fuel reg are you running with this? And where did you run your supply and return lines? With the 9” and big exhaust on mine it doesn’t leave a lot of room so am willing to wear the cost ($850AUD...

Just to clarify I'm talking about circuit racing, time attack etc and not the 1/4 mile though there will be plenty of that too....

Hi All, With the many posts about the 727TF’s shattering when driven the wrong way, I’m wondering whether it is at all possible to use or set up a 727TF for street sprints/track days at all? While I’m trying to keep costs down should I be looking for something like aTH700 or later GM to go...

Hi All, Just looking for any recent experience good or bad with any of their motors? (have done a search) Specifically looking at the 408/445 long motor. Value for money? I've already got a RPM air gap, MSD and good 750 DP carb. $5800.USD or $11250.00 AUD locally which is on budget. Otherwise...

Thanks all for the thoughts. Some interesting info. I am actually going to build the motor "correctly" with matching quality parts , good heads, manifold etc. And of course more compression. Still undecided whether to keep the same sort of cam, currently the motor easily revs to 7000. And maybe...

Hi All, Just a question on how much difference or power more compression can make? I have recently stripped down the top end of a 360 LA where all measurements calculate out at a comp value of 8.73. This made 280hp with a Crane f248, 248/258@.050",110 lobe sep, .540/.560" lift with a 1.6...
