Hi Guys,
Well well well don't expect things to happen fast here!! But last night a picked up a new cast mopar 408 Stroker Crank at a bargain price, they are a bit odd ball here in NZ and if you don't have all the bits they are kind of a problem to sell. But not for me!! I have also picked up some Keith Black 416 stroker pistons for this future engine (Just remember I just got the 360 going so not about to build anything tomorrow)
What I am after is some advice on what combos are going to see me around 400 - 450hp mark, I have put these limits as my trans is built to 450hp and my 8.25" with LSD with good for approx 450hp.
So what I am asking are my stock EQ heads going to get me there? Does anyone have or keep an eye out for a set of heads that will do the trick?
What I have so far is my 770 Street Avenger and a 2500rpm stall converter.
My current engine has the airgap on it and headers. I am compression limited here with our stupid low octane fuels, our top fuel is about as good as your 87 over there, no ethanol blends here. So 9.5:1 is about it otherwise I need to retard engine a bit.
So what kind of cam are we looking at, who has built something like this, I don't want it to be to crazy radical, maybe I am being unrealistic but you guys will point me in the right direction.
Anyone got a good used roller cam that may do the trick thats hidden in your shed
See You
Bruce
