Is this a religion or a hobby? I have never seen the book of rules of what you can and can't do with your car. Do what you want and enjoy your car while you can.
Drag racing is a hobby. Mopar is a religion. I got my book of rules in 1983. It was over 1000 pages printed on thin india paper just like a bible, and it said "Direct Connection" on the cover.
I have never owned, or rebuilt, or raced a flathead, a small block chevy, a big block chevy, or an LS, and I'm fairly certain I never will. But if you're willing to sell your soul to save a few bucks or go a few tenths quicker have at it!
Don't know why you had to go bringing up all that PowerGlide/ nine inch talk though...that's hitting a little too close to home!!

Ive never been one to fall for all the hype. One claims 1200hp with a 5.3 truck engine and all of a sudden everything else is junk. Im still waiting to see all these 1000hp "stock" engines. Its internet hype and legends created from bs.

Just like all the unlimited $ LS entries it beat, I know they're all dyno queens but it proved the HEMI can run (outrun?) with an LS engine given the same rules. True the better HEMI heads are a small part of the puzzle, but it's a major part, as the LS and HEMI are very similar block wise and HP is heavily dependent on airflow.
I have a lot of respect for the LS but its not the end all be all some make it out to be

SLOW67 I call BS! Quote:
Stock Lq4 6.0- $875 to my door
L-92 heads- $890
GMPP hot cam kit- $364 my cost
carbed intake used off ebag- $200
gaskets, oil pumnp, and misc.- $300
Headers off ebag- $200 i think
Grand total of $2829 on hard parts. This is what a friend of mine put together for a customer. With a TH350 trans and big converter it made just a shade over 500whp in a 70 nova. I thinks thats pretty darn good for a N/A pumpgas roller cammed smallblock.
You don't make 500 wheel HP with junk.
So you are telling me that this nova runs mid
to low nines for under 3 grand???
Aint happening without a power adder
It's a bigblock with a torque flight!!!

a 500hp 70 nova isn't running close to 9's. Unless it's a gutted, glassed, lexan race car. But then it's still just a Nova

That is impressive with a stock bottom end for sure. They still pulled it apart,ported the heads,changed valve springs and put in a different cam and lifters.Plus it has a $800 intake on it.
Well, I have a buddy with an 01 trans am grudge race car that makes over 1200 to the tire and has the plastic intake on it. I'm a Mopar guy through and through, but an LS with a bunch of boost and a lot of factory parts is an absolute killer. This car is also a street car. He drives it to work all the time.
I think the point was kinda missed here. The point was over 1200hp was made on a stock block and stock rotating assy. A gen3 hemi can't even get half way there on stock pistons an rods. I am currently building what should be a 1000hp 6.1, and it sucks that I have to replace the entire rotating assy because of ring lands, rods that fly apart and a crank that doesn't oil, and the GM guys don't even have to take theirs apart. Think about it, you could literally build a car that could go high 8's and not have to pull the block out of the car.

Why are mopar powdered metal rods such sh@t compared to GMS? Same with the hyper pistons,what's different? The LSA engines even use hyper pistols? Where did they screw up that ma mopars stuff is so inferior when its the same material?

It wouldn't live long if your talking about a full bodied car going 8's.....They are a great engine, but they aren't magic. My brother's shop has built several in the 8's, but they sure aren't stock shortblock motors. my

how's that? I mean you are swapping the entire rotating assembly, heads, valve train, intake and whatever else. You are not going to run 8's in anything w/ a stock, production short block. Maybe if it was in a 1800lb rail car. I guess Anybody could do it by that logic if all you are using is a block.
