My new eng I am building is well underway with the block still at the machine shop and all the shortblock pieces sitting in my living room. After talking with Dwayne (Da Man) I have decided to go with the Indy EZ heads since they have more potential then the Eddy RPM. Dwayne is giving me a great deal and even though I like to do my own head work I would rather let the "best" do these heads for me. Dwayne will also spec the cam as again the best will be doing it. It will be a pump gas 493 and I hope it puts my 63 solidly into the 10's. I still want to drive to the track and run 10's and then drive home. Besides I dont own a car trailer. Ron

Fat lot of good those parts do ya in the living room


Get em to the shop and get er done

Awesome! I'm excited to watch the progress of your build. I'm building a 505 with Indy EZ-1 Little EZ's, by my man Nick at Compuflow for my 69 Charger. I'm also building my own motor, my first BB. Can't wait to compare the results with you. Your car is very awesome! Please keep us posted with your progress. You car runs very well as it is, can't imagine what it will do with the new bullet!

That sweet plymouth of yours deserves Indy 440-1 heads CNC ported with a nice max wedge style intake. Why play it safe.my

Hi ron just want to say you can go wrong with dewayne. he also set me up with a set of indy ez heads and a comp solid roller. so far with no tuning my pump gas 440 in my 73 dart street/striphas run 10.68 at 125 and my car should weigh around 3400-3500 pounds with me in it. so i see no reasion your car wont run 10 or better. best of luck on your new engine.

Ron, share the combo if you can, is the cam gonna be a secret? IIRC the Indys should flow something like 10-15% better than worked Eddys, right? Will your gear/tire combo be happy with that, or will the HP/TQ curve move up a bunch in RPM?

You are making the right choice...and dealing with the right person for that program...

This will be a fun build to watch. 10's with a stroker and DA MAN behind you should be child's play.

That car is soooooo cool going streetable mid 11's...can't imagine how COOL it's going to be in the streetable 10's!!

Best of luck, Ron!

That sounds like a solid plan Ron

It won't be long before a matching MW intake is sitting on top of that stroker blasting you deep into the 10's

PRH = Top shelf results

Car parts in the living room??? My wife would be chasing me around the compound with her meat cleaver! Seriously...sounds like an excellent build! And YES..Dwayne is "The Man"!!! Sure glad Ronnie got him to come back and offer his expertise to us novice's! Welcome back Dwayne!

I'll echo Ron's comments on both accounts....

Good news that you have Dwayne in your corner. he will set you up right.

And on the other point, build a MW type deal for that '63.

Thanks for all the kind replies. No secret cam as Dwayne will be specing out a cam for me. Ron

Good deal,Ron!! Looking forward to your build! You are in good hands with Porter at your side!!

Ron, Good luck on the build 10's should not be a problem.

Question...why the Indy EZ? Why not go with the SR seeing it will work great in a B-body. I have seen the SR's make some big numbers with minor work. The EZ is a good head, I had a set, but I like the SR better and the price is the same...

EZ's will work with Ron's existing header set up, which to me is their big advantage (IF YOU ALREADY HAVE HEADERS)...Otherwise I too would go with the SR's, they'll make more power (that stock exhaust is costing Something in terms of peak potential), The SR is my favorite of all the Indy heads.

Ron What gear will you be running? 4.10-4.30? Is your car a Dana? Hope so!

I forgot but yes it is an 8-3/4 rear in the car now. I only race a few times a year but I figure I will use this setup to see how the 4.30 gear works and then soon I will go with a Dana. Hopefully the 8-3/4 will hold up for a few track passes. Ron

Ron,

Good to hear your new build is coming along!!

You goin MW size ports?

Sounds like your new combo and my new combo should be a good heads up race!!

You will have a little more head (Gonna use my Porter ported BS heads), but I'll have a few more cubes, 512.

Same gear and close on the Vert.

You goin with a flat tappet? Im still on the fence. I have all of the stuff to go roller, but dont want to put down 1200 for set of flippin rockers. Probably will go flat....

What compression you gonna end up with?
