Thank you, Mike I`m building a tube chassis fastback barracuda. OP, what is the application, street, street and strip or race only? Which alcohol are you wanting to use, Methanol or Ethanol? How much power do you want to make total? It makes a lot of difference Last edited by Cab_Burge; 03/06/12 03:53 AM. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Is this going in a drag car? Alot of options on these motors and opions are going to very widely. With that being said here is my short story on my hemi. BAE billet block/heads. Stage 4 fat heads. 540 cube. Silver stand BAE/stage V rocker gear.K-11 superman 50 over. Rage pump. Jdf hat. msd 20 mag. On methanal. 2wd pulling truck. I would be glad to talk to you and help you get started. I am no guru but I have learnt a few things along the way. 7106519-071(640x426).jpg (278 downloads)

Just be carefull what you buy. I been down that road. Bought a "ready to run long block" with cracks in the pistons and block. The titanium valves,oil pump and cam was junk.The crank was twisted. You get the picture.If you do buy used have a third party check the motor/ parts out before you buy.There are some good deals.Another thing to think about is do you want to go with fuel or fatheads. The parts don't interchange.If your looking to go as fast as you can on a buget you can go fast for a fairly cheap.

You will notice almost all serious effort professional level motors of this type are 490-520 cubic inches. There is a reason for that.

You will notice almost all serious effort professional level motors of this type are 490-520 cubic inches. There is a reason for that. Yup...Most guys are not up for the challenge. Best to hookup with a known successful tuner and buy what he tells you. I go 265 mph with 451" Gotta have deep pockets anyway you do it, you up for it? Also like what was said, can't do it by yourself, that blown hemi needs lot's of maintance and loves to eat parts and spit them out sometimes on the first run. You need to determine what motor, what blower and fuel system first, then build the car around it. Not the other way around. Got to build the car with maintance in mind.

Is it possible to build a motor with that type of HP and only have to maintenance(rings,bearing,ect) it every 10-15 passes. What are the most relible parts to do this build in your opinions? (block,heads,crank,rods, blower). Thank again, Mike

I was giving him advice based on experience, not mumbo jumbo or sideline quarterbacks....we have a 451 combo also that runs well...good combos. Dynoed the blower over the winter and Bob spent some time at Rage this Winter....all new...so hopefully it doesnt give us too much grief re-tuning it....I dont think so though. We were at the limits of the pump. 7108614-DSC00074.JPG (273 downloads) RIP Monte Smith Your work is a reflection of yourself, autograph it with quality.
