In the end. A 5.7l is just a 350. Plenty of 350s with close to 400HP. Any Chevy guy can contest to that. And they will. Lol.

Below is a simple '74 Duster. With a 451. Single 4 barrel. 727 reverse valvebody to an 8 3/4 spooled rear with 4.56.1 gear set. I've run up against multiple Hellcats. And they didn't stand a chance. They are too heavy. But as important? Their HP and torque curve is too high RPM, thus too late...

The only way I would consider a Gen III an a classic B-body is if car was originally a 318 car. Then you are better setup for a small block. Thus Gen III option. The engine design and options are pretty cool. But it's still a small block. And has no business trying to compete with after market...

I snooped around after basically posting "Old School or No School" And you're right. Old school is getting expensive and nearly as frustrating as a new school option? I knew of a couple/3 old Newports with 440s in a scrap yard just 18 months ago. GONE. Even 383s are getting tougher. So my...

Im hardly the one to be arguing the case for old school builds. I had a chance for a 392 hemi (rated at about 525 HP) for a possible retro to the GTX. I thought about it for 5 min. So I have to rewire, modify or replace K-frame, Replace or modify bellhousing and clutch, new exhaust system, redo...

Sorry. I didn't mean to drown subject with my transmission whining. But some of these Gen III setups with aftermarket superchargers? Could also be having transmission concerns?

Some have tried the Pro Stock style clutchless trans. With frustrating results. One REALLY needs to know how to drive for any street use. There is a transmission hole. Even tne manufacturers admit. Including Jamie Passon. Libery is at least thinking about it. G-force just says "Nope"

Lenco is possibly the only semi manual option. I have a dummy power glide bolted up now. But high end automatics are not for any street use. Even with high end trans coolers. This motor acts alot like a diesel. With crazy low-end torque. The car is a manual transmission car. But that may not be...

Yeah. Im seeing that. But with HP now more easily obtained? One would think the trans manufacturers would step up and make a street/strip hybrid? Maybe someday.

Not the best pic. But stock 440 in my '69 GTX just looks right. Yes, I wish it had more power. (Or better gears than 3.54:1 with the A833 4 speed would help.) But its hard to pull a very good running 400 HP 440 just to add ponies?

Liberty, G-force or Passon don't want to even make a recommendation. I have an ultra bell glide that can easily handle the power. But its a full race power glide. That will heat up fast for any limited street duties. So yes. Once again I bit before I figured out how to chew! P.S. On trans? This...

What transmission? That is my sticking point. This monster is 1200 HP on pump 91 at a low 5200 rpms. So I have some unique challenges.

They are all over the place. Not a new thought. I went opposite for my E-body build. 904 ci DOHC. 5" wider than a street hemi. And yes. It fit inside the E-body engine well.

I'm not convinced on the gen III options? An A-body yes. But B-E? It defeats the purpose of the wide engine bay design? They just look small. B and E bodies deserve big blocks. JMO of course.
