I know I could trade a friend some stuff and end up with a 400, or I could take a 360 I already have and punch/stroke it out to a 408 I could use a beefed 904 behind it, not to mention I already have a 2800 stall converter I could put the 408 in it and tell the Chevy guys that it's a only a little 318

Well..I have the better portion of a 383, and I could get a 400 at a reasonable price I just always seem to run across small block parts These cars are heavy and do need all the torque they can get. I'm thinking modified 400? If I did the 451 thing, I dont think I could afford a good enough set of heads to feed 451 cubic inches... Last edited by DusterKrazy; 01/31/10 08:25 PM.

We pulled it from a 1965 Dodge Monaco Custom 880. I still gotta get a BB727 though and get a 1970 crossmember. My plan is to do a re-ring and re-bearing, then add cam,headers, intake/4bbl carb, windage tray along with some headwork. This is the plan so far- who knows what it will be next week though I am aiming for an around town driver with VERY limited highway use. I am thinking 4.30 or 4.56 gears I have another plan for the car, but you have to stay tuned to find out. I am staying fairly tight lipped about it

This car will donate the floor pan because it is in really good shape and it will also donate the 8.75 rear housing and axles (the chunk is missing though). $100 got me this...Oh yeah- 3 more payments and it's ours!!!
