This is a GREAT post/topic!!

Good fodder for the Tech. Archives or Moparts Best.

Ever since Bobby/Streetwize mentioned a "short rod" stroker B-motor about a year ago, I've been interested for 2 of my applications. Since I'm a budget limited kind of guy a stock rod combo would work for me and I'm really only interested in spinning that combo to 5800 or 6000 at the most.

My jet boat application would only let the motor spin to 4800-5400 or a little higher with a standard A or AA impeller. And the 69 Rr I have will eventually go back to a B-motor/4 speed/3.55:1 gear, plus a 6-Pack on a 383 Edelbrock intake. A nice combo for neck snapping mid-range torque and I like to dump the clutch when slightly above idle to stealthly launch hard from a light on the street with no bog.


Oh, yeah, 4.31 X 3.75 = 438c.i.

Glad to see some serious Mopar hobbyiests staying on-topic and focused.
