anyone that wants to help but doesn't have any parts or advice can always help out by opening their check books,I know we need valves,springs and retainers yet,all of those things a guy would be reimbursed for by me personally,I have forked out the cash to buy the heads and thats let me tapped for now.
If this is doable PM Johnrr.
who is that guy?

When does the motor need to be done by?
Will there be a web-site that has the build ups on it?, I would like to read all the build ups and I know that the magazine will not have all of them in it.
P.S. good work to the guys that are doing this. This is no small task!!
MOre PAweR to ya!
good questions that i don't even know the answer to .
edit ... i'm not to the point of looking for any donations ....as of yet , loaning a few parts and moving this thing around the country would be the best thing at the moment .
sorry jesse , no paypal for me .

This should be a real awsome eye opener for the other brands, I am totally convince the mopar engine will leave the others behind. I also think that the whatever secrets used to build these engines shouyld be kept so.The same way they do at nascar so the edge it kept. Even though alot of the info is out there. Good luck. I am sure we all will learn alot from these rebuilds and maybe after you could write down,post, some of the tricks that are not commonly known. "GIMME FUEL ,GIMME FIRE GIMME THAT WHICH I DESIRE" ..GO MOPARTS ...

From what I saw of the small-block engine challenge, you may want to reconsider entering regionals on the East Coast ... all the Left Coast offerings got a real leg up thanks to Westech Performance's numbers. I know East Coast builders aren't wusses, but the numbers they generated on "other" dynos just didn't match up with what the "home dyno" of the magazines generated. Fortunately, Moparts is a worldwide mafia of Mopar motorheads (how's that for alliteration?) so it'd be fair for us if we went to the shop that generated the best numbers ...

Well, I have only built about 30-40 engines in my life time and most being stock. Its an awesome challenge to go up against pro racers and engine builders but sometimes its the little things that come out big.
I have some ideas but not sure they would be allowed but they might be . i'd be quite happy to explain my ideas to any of the guys who are going to build this sucker.......then again my ideas might be old news to all the hot engine builders.
mopar man, i'm all ears if you'd like to send me a PM. even old dogs can learn new tricks sometimes, LOL.

Well, I have been out of touch also but here is my 2-cents worth on some ideas. I like the smaller bore longer stroke idea, but i think the 3.9 stroke 400 bore block might be better. The head choice looks to be bolt-on stock rockers stuff. I think the Stage VI heads on the b block would be a good choice, takes care of the short runner problem. Talk to Rob Goebel about what kind of performance flow numbers you can get out of a set of Stage VI heads. his dragster is awesome. The valve shrouding problems you can get with the 400 bore and closed chamber heads should really not be a problem with the heads. The Team-G for the low block would probably be the best choice if you go with stock intake runners. The Stage VI heads will allow for the raised block intake runners. that can make a big difference. As for other things, i have a set of cast aluminum valve covers i can donate. I also have a double roller timing chain set-up that i would donate if you want it. My jesel belt drive is alreasy installed on the Hemi or you could use it. if any of these things would help, let me know.

JohnRR, I would be more than happy to help on the relay when it comes time to move it.Maybe it could be set up to relay it state-to-state. Also, maybe it could be arranged to have it in a small enclosed trailer (locked to prevent tampering) that could be transferred from vehicle to vehicle to lessen the chance of dropping it from a hoist. I have a 4x8 trailer I would lend but its not enclosed. Let me know. Tim

the trailer idea sounds like a good one , it will be in a crate , more than like seaaled and banded so it would be a matter of sliding it from one pickup bed to another .
running up my post count some more .

While it is true the Westech numbers were higher than the other qualifying dyno numbers, it doesn't matter where you qualify as the top qualifiers from each dyno go to Westech for the finals.
In other words during the qualifying round you are only competing against the other entrants testing on the dyno you are qualifying on.
The top qualifiers from each shop go to the Westech dyno for the final round.
