I really could care less but it gets unproductive when the thread gets highjacked. It is of little consequence, I just find the threads more entertaining when they stay on topic, about Chrysler preservation, and enhancement .

Don't know..I built one 440 source 512 and one muscle motors 505 ..both so far are running great..Soon I will be building a mancini 493 ...I already have the kit ..just waiting for the block to be done..
Dynamite I noticed the Mancini kit comes balanced or unbalanced, unbalanced its cheaper than 440source. Has that ever played a role and do you know what kinda performance you got out of the others (any dyno #'s).

MY vote would be for the business that would PRECISELY balance each assembly as a STANDARD situation.
From what I have heard .... balancing is optional ....and is not that PRECISE from any of them.
Then wouldnt the Mancini kit for 1400 bucks and just have my machinist do the balancing. I would just be worried about losing power over the 512 option

All three of the kits were ordered balanced per the buyers request..sorry no dyno numbers..I only know my 56 (pictured ) runs a consistant 12.5 with a 440 standard bore motor.with hyd roller and kb 237 pistons and 906 iron heads. The 512 is in a 4000lb 64 Polara vert and from a slow roll on rt 80 left me like I was on the brakes..
Jesus!!! What kinda compression we talkin?

I'd buy the unbalanced version and take it to my trusted machine shop and have them check it....I did...I bought the 4.15 crank from 440S and then took my 67 440 block, with billet mains, pistons and H-Beam rods to my machinist and he said it was an amazingly simple turnaround. He was happy with the work and now Its sitting in my garage in boxes.
I dunno where Mancini gets their parts from, I know 440S gets it from China. The worlds best foundries are now there because the companies in the USA finds it too expensive to operate plus with the EPA, who can really build anything of structural integrity anymore on U.S. soil....Even Boeing gets their parts from overseas.
Bitting my tongue...
