Hello!
At first excuse my english, it´s what I learned at school long ago;)
After my 500 stroker died last year I´m planning on building something new for my Charger.
I would go little smaller because of the short pistons and piston speed. I think the 451 would be enough for my claims. I have no hp or torque goals in numbers, I would like a healthy street engine which revs fast and is fun to drive and to shift. Little maintenance after building would be great, usually I´m short of time.
The following is what I have on hand and for what it will be.
1968 Charger, A833, 8 3/4 with 3,55 gears, 275/60-15 in back.
Mostly street use on german country roads maybe about 1000 miles per year. Has many upgrades on the undercarriage so driving fast and cornering is no problem. Engine should be stable. RPM range to around max. 6500.
1 time a year to the track just for fun.
What I like to have:
-Scat 451 rotating assembly, forged, CR max. 10,5 / 1
will be ckecked and balanced carefully
-external oiling system
-oilcooler with thermostat
-oilpump ( no descision yet which one)
-still no descision on which carb or EFI, maybe at first carb to meet my budget
had a 950 Quickfuel before
What I have:
-1972 400 b block std bore, needs little overbore
it will be fully machined, decked, honed, oil system modified and so on
-a set of TF240 heads ootb---matching springs for camshaft below
-main girdle
-TTI 1 7/8 headers, rest TTI 3" with h-pipe
-fluid damper
-Mopar M1 single plane intake
-Milodon road race oilpan
- aluminium waterpump and housing
-McLeod RXT street twin clutch
-Quicktime bellhousing
-hydraulic clutch system
-driveshaft loops
First question camshaft:
I have the following hydraulic roller cam with CompCam 1,5 roller rockers.
Would that be ok for a 451?
Should I go with standard maincaps and ARP studs or better go aftermarket?
In this case billet or aluminium?
Since I have the maingirdle, I would like to use it.
If you need more infos please let me know.
I think more questions will follow;)
Thanks in advance!
