    Yet another 408 stroker recipe thread

    Thanks you for all the thoughtful responses. I'll be going back and forth on this. While it hustles (I forgot to mention a RR torque converter, I don't recall what stall), it is pulling about 3900 lbs with me in it. And the two B-bodies I had before this one both had 440s. Oh, to have...

    Yet another 408 stroker recipe thread

    So, I'm looking ahead to 2024 and have decided to shelve the idea of putting a 400/440 in the SSP cuz too many other things need to be changed out for a SB-BB swap. I'm thinking stroking the 360LA that's in it will give me what I'm looking for: a lower rpm, stump puller type 408, budget street...

    Who's had experience with Original Air?

    The clutch works as it should. System was opened a few years ago, new O-rings installed and charged.

    Who's had experience with Original Air?

    I'm getting nothing even after charging the system, think the compressor is shot. Has anyone worked with Original Air restoring services? How much to rebuild the compressor? I gotta figure the shipping will be pricey for the RV2. Thanks.

    Thanks, Sparky. I've done my homework on turning this into a BB car. Need the block and all the accessories, BB K-frame (Chrysler went to 2 different K-frames in '73-up, but the former Schumacher has the modded motor mounts), BB tranny, driveshaft (or have mine cut down), mods to exhaust, then...

    Thanks very much. Very clean car. My only regret is I wish it had a big block but not willing to pursue that path with this vehicle.

    SOLD 1973 Dodge Charger SE 400 Big Block

    Hey Bird, I live about 3 hours away in MA. I'm interested in the motor, all the accessories, radiator and k-frame. Maybe the transmission if in it. Has the hood been over the motor constantly? Thanks.

    Anyone know this '75?

    What spirit! The OP (me) says I still like them (as I wrote, but Wild man is free to have his own opinion) but BBs (even low compression 400s) is where to start from. Unless the 318 car has an exceptionally clean chassis and interior...and in my price range. I would have thought some '75 RR...

    400 Build Ideas

    Thanks, Fish. Looking for torque that I'm not getting with a SB. No racing, just street use. I've had 2 B-bodies with stock 440s, heavy cars (72 Satellite, 70 Charger), 906 heads, light porting, dual plane intakes, HP manifolds on both. 3.23 SG in both. Sorry, memory is fuzzy on cam specs. Mild...

    400 Build Ideas

    A tremendous thread! I'm considering the same, replacing the 360 in my '73 SSP (similar weight to the OPs RR). I have my eye on an unmolested 400 near me out of a '78 Dodge van. All stock from air cleaner to oil pan. Budget build as I'm going to have to change most drivetrain components after...

    SB to BB Radiator hoses - School Me

    Take me to school. I'm tickling with the idea of replacing the 360 in my '73 SSP with a 400. I've spend a few $s recoring and rebrassing the 26" radiator in the car so I'd sure like to use it with a BB but the upper rad hose connects to the drivers side. Do they make hoses that swap sides to...
