Is your 440/512 a stock block motor? If so, what was done to it to try to make it live? aluminum caps? fill?

Thanks

All of our great running engines have been stock block motors....After market ones are stronger, but come with their own set of problems.

So we run the 440Source kits with the Girdles on them, no extra fill, no alum cap. All ARP bolts, and we have not had a failure to date....Typically we are right around 700hp on pump gas.

Team Farley won it all yesterday at the Sunday Niagara! The King of the hill gamblers and the GRS gamblers! Mopars are killing it this year...

If it's race only, I would build a 543 in a heart beat. I would gear it to pull hard in hi gear. Personally if it were me, I would not want it to turn more than 6800 to 7000 through the lights. Timing should be somewhere around 34
