Hello all,
My names Paul from PA. I wanted to share my project with all of you. I've had mustangs and Camaros, but I recently purchased a 67' Coronet roller. Has a cheetah shifter, alumnum driveshaft, dana 60, steel quarters, fenders, doors. I was able to get a 727 trans with gearsets in it and reverse manual valve body out of it but needs to be put together. Looking for a shop for that. I also found a 440 big block with zeeker heads and indy intake, offset jessel rockers, solid roller cam with .725 lift, roller lifters, BME aluminum rods. Wedge pistons. The engine sat since 2012 and was in hurricane sandy in long island, ny. 6 rods were good but they are 40 years old so I cannot get a reproduction. 2 pistons were eaten up so need a whole new set as well. Machine shop says ill be able to save the crank, cam, block so that's good news. I have the engine all apart. Have the car working on it little by little. Look forward to updating you guys along the way. I want to make a 1/4 mile street/strip car. very limited street. NOS on the big block. 300 shot. Can anyone recommend what pistons and rods are good for nitrous? I'm so disappointed the aluminum rods I cant get to complete the set. Is it just as god to go with forged steel rods? for the NOS? I have 3.75 lift on a steel Lunati Racer Series Crank. Bore is at 4.33in so I'm assuming the block is .010 over. Havent took it to the machine shop yet but used micrometer. Should i use the same piston design for the NOS? I'm sure I'm gonna need your experience for advice, guidance and help. I hope to count on it. I felt a sense that owning a mopar is being different and look forward to joining the community. Thanks,
