So i realize that, along with other reasons, I have not driven my 71 Challenger as much since installing a 408 stroker in it about 6 years ago or so.
My car is a 318 car originally and I am thinking of a few options: a 318 with a bumped up cam to run a 4 barrel a 340 built to average specs or use my 360 block with all parts that I can salvage and go back to a "normal" crank with X heads
I am so done with Econo air ports and plan on hopefully running X heads or something similar from pre-71/72 era
I kind of just miss the simple cruise that I get out of my 68 D100 - 318 and sort of get tired of sitting there lumping at red lights. Of course its nice to step on it, but with todays gas prices never coming down, I feel that I'd be just as happy chillin along....
What do you guys think?
I can understand that. I say 360 block with some magnum heads, maybe with the 1.625/1.925 valves and other streetable components. My MP 360/300hp crate motor idles and drives very nicely but has plenty of torque when you need it.
Facts are stubborn things.
