What issues did you find, and what did you replace?

Maybe a little refresher on the the project........

I had a 472 that had compression issues. I bought a low deck Indy block off a guy on here. I had Ohio Crankshaft put sleeves in the block, I also used their 4.25 stroke crank, their rods, with Diamond pistons. They balanced it. I bought a set of Trick Flow 270s and set them up myself. I assembled it. The only part I used over was the Comp .665 roller cam and lifters. Video was first fire. Only problem I had was my battery sat for 2 years. I tried charging it for 2 days but it cranks slow. I also only had 5 psi of fuel pressure and need to bump it up.Its a mild 540 street car that will see some track time at the mopar events.

Sounds like a nice build.

Did you ever nail down what was wrong with the other motor?

Seems like there was a video of the car at the track, and it was leaving really soft.
Was that the motor this one is replacing?

I never figured out what the issue was. I paid and had a valve job done on the heads and put them back on the old engine and still no compression. I was totally baffled. This engine replaces that one. Birdtracker
