Putting together a new short block. Going to need to decide on a cam before too long. Here's what I'm working with:
The car:
72 Roadrunner. Auto. 3.55 gears. 27” tires. 2800 stall. Power brakes
The motor:
360/410 ci stroker. 9.6:1 CR. TTi step headers. Stock top end (T-quad, dual plane, J-heads)for now. May upgrade heads when funding permits.
-Jim
I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman.
He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it.
Currently Mopar-less

I have been leaning towards it. Need to make sure my springs can handle that lift.

That's the one I have in my 408. It runs decent from 1800-2500 lugging my 4spd in traffic, feels strong rolling on the double pumper from 2500-3000, and 3-5k it's pretty scary with manual brakes. It runs out of steam after ~5500. I hardly ever get it past 5k though. I took it to the track and ran consistent 13.5s before I shattered my driveshaft trying to figure out how hard I could launch. My et was disappointing till I realized I broke my throttle bracket on the first burnout and was only barely running on 2 barrels! My combo is airgap, 1 5/8" comp headers, eddy heads ootb, 10.25:1 CR, 750dp, 4.10 gears and 28" tire in a 72 demon.

With all due respect,the only thing we've got in common is the short block. Otherwise we've got completely different applications.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the HE275HL.
Mildly concerned about the ability to support power brakes.
Should'nt be an issue.
