470” B engine build combos.

[Bongo Bob]

I prefer the 400/512 kits, why not get the extra cubes for the same money. I’ve built 3 of these exact same short blocks now. One in my rr, one in my dads dart, and another for a buddies challenger. Here’s my build, nothing real trick but it flat runs! Had it out this morning for about a 40 mile cruise. Plus made 3 full passes on it. Suppose to snow so I was getting it out of my system… and it’s probably a bit faster now than those original time slips

Really, this is a fantastic book if you haven't purchased parts already;

In terms of compression, I wanted something street friendly that I can run on 89 (ethanol free) or 93 octane. Most of my parts selection was based upon AndyF's testing data.

400/470 (440-source kit) 9.6:1 CR.
Holley 850 Ultra XP Carburetor. [Edelbrock Mechanical Pump @ 7.5 PSI, 1/2" fuel line from cell]
Mopar M1-4500 Intake Manifold. [2" 4150 - 4500 adapter]
84cc Edelbrock Performer RPM Cylinder Heads (home porting) [Steward Performance 3/8" .145 Wall Pushrods, Crane Ductile Iron Adj. Rockers]
Lunati Solid Camshaft, 259/267 @ .050 - 0.586"/0.606" Lift. 110 LSA.
1-7/8" longtube headers w/ 3" collectors.
3" Exhaust, X-Pipe, Dynomax Race Bullets (two sets).

727 trans. Reverse manual valve body. FTI 9.5" converter (stalls @ 4,000 RPM). 3.55 gears w/ Dr. Diff limited slip & Axles.

That sounds like a stout build!
Did you dyno test it?

Unless it's just of no interest to you, and I understand if it is, have you considered a turbo? I can tell you a low deck in a '67 fits fine, cheap log manifolds work great, and it all fits in without cutting. I skipped the stroker part, my 400 runs a stock 383 crank. It's barely broken in, but I got to put a few hundred miles on it this summer. The power and torque the turbo produces has to be felt to be believed, and I'm running really low boost until I get it sorted out. You can make 7-800 HP with no trick parts and a much milder cam/head combo than a similar N/A combo. Just a suggestion.

Looks like a very stout combo. The EDE heads are really 84cc's (at least mine were), so the CR should be accurate. My bet is that combo would like a 2" header, but... The cam looks like an excellent choice. AndyF's book is really great, wish I bought it 8 or 10 years ago. Good luck

Could you post a picture and some more details of your setup?, i'm sure a lot of guys are thinking about doing something like this.

I'll try to figure out how to get pics from my phone here, it may be a day or two, and I don't want to step on the OP's original thread topic. You can PM me if you like, and I would be happy to send you whatever info you would like.

Got one in a 73 duster. 440 Source rotating , TF 240s Weiand dual plane. 727 man VB Hughes shelf 2800 conv. 8 1/4 with 321s. Good running street/Strip. Needs more cam but dyno @ 550 square with torque real low. Buildind a 8 3/4 W 391s now. Will play with induction ect if they ever open a strip around here again. Might do a swap to my 68 R/R.

Which dual plane Weiand manifold?

Let Me get a pic and #s for you. #8008 port matched to the TF 240s.

Nice - do you think a Edelbrock CH4B or a Performer would work as good?
