Don't get me wrong, I have two RBs one built in 89 and one in 91. The first is a 452 with TRWs, polished stock rods, block line bored, crank cut 10 10, decked more than I will say, the heads are 452s that have been cut to 79 cc, 9.5cr, 2.14 1.81s and cut to DC templates. I assembled it the last time with a NOS DC cam I had on the shelf, I think it was the 5.57 lift mechanical cam. An old M1 intake and a 850 it still makes 525hp and 545tq. after 400 runs and 2000 street miles. It's he smallest cam it's ever had and rum at 7K all its life until now.

The second is a 500" that I put together after waiting a year for a DC 4.15 crank, same thing with the rods, heads 915s cr 12.5, cam [url=CChttp://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=736&sb=2][url=CChttp://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=736&sb=2][url=CChttp://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=736&sb=2]CChttp://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=736&sb=2[/url][/url][/url] It pulls like a mother from 4000 past 6500 with a peak of 650hp at 6300 which is just what I wanted because I had been turning it 7000 + with the the CC 650 cam. I am now running on E-85 and a Holley 950. The 500" has 600 gram pistons and now has Scat H beams with the lower rpms, 2.18s and 1.81s.

Both motors were built by a great Mopar racer friend of mine, we bartered work and parts back and forth until we quit keeping track over the 30 + years we were fiends until he past away. I guess I just like running his stuff over anything new, must be a sentimentalist, I sure miss Never Reedy and his 64 300 K.


Have a great day
