Jimmy(bad1970dust) gutted my 446" this afternoon...Here is what he found...Cam was junk,had a wiped lobe. Two cylinders were scared..Should clean up at .055 over. Rod bearings were shot. 1 main bearing showed some scars. 1 piston was chewed up on the bottom and probably some other things I forgot!! Looks like back to the drawing board!!
Where is Jimmy from? I had Brian Keck from Quimby do my stroker . Its 99% done, I qlicking the heads on it shortly, and The cars getting done, so SOON ill be rowing the gears again..
Hope ya get a new bullet in her soon, its almost cruising weather.

Kind words always make my day a little better!! Thanks,everyone!! I may pick up an old 383,slap my cam and heads to it and race Sportsman et...Leigh....Me think this year the Dart will beat me to the track!!
Sorry to hear the bad news.. But you may want to rethink the 383 deal, built properly you will wonder why you ran RB stuff in the first place...
