Quote: what happened to hearing about stupid fast 400 combos?
Not 400 but, When I put my 383 together, my buddy offered to put it in his 67 cuda before my body work was done. With a 850hp spec convertor , terrible 60'(1.6x) it still ran out the top at 130 mph, at 10.60. it was still slippin at 6000 thru the traps.. Not stuupid fast, but sure lays down ez #s in an a body....
lol what a typo...i obviously meant 440
that 400 you mentioned sounds like it ran hard! I was thinking of putting a 400 or 383 low deck in my a-body, but because i was on a super tight budget and already had the small block stuff (plus the clutch linkage to contend with headers and such) i figured id stay sb..sometimes i wish i had gone the B/RB route though...I dont care what anyone says, dollar for dollar you can go faster for less with the bigger motors imo
