Quote: Here is what I had in a 383 Dart. I rebuilt the eng with all new bearings and rings and honed the cylinders slightly oversize to get them all round. Then I knurled the stock pistons and used .005 over rings. I had to file fit the pistons for .001 wall clearence.
So it was a stock shortblock 452 heads we bowl blended and cut for 9.5 comp and used Comp single springs MP .484 cam on a 104 centerline Stock rockers and lifters with shims under the rocker shafts for proper lifter preload Performer RPM intake with a 750 DP Stock dist I recurved and MP orange ECU CPPA headers
This was in a 72 Dart that weighs 3550 lbs with my son in it. It has 3.91 gears and a 727 with a manual valve body and a Turbo Action 10" tight 3000 converter. And used G/60-15 McCreary tires. Ran a best ever of 12.31 @ 110. Ron
Hey 383 man where did you get the .005 oversized rings?
I believe I bought that set from Mancini. But as John says most everyone sells them that I know of. Ron
