Some guys expressed interest in following along with other racer's engine builds so I figured I would document what I am building for '09. A 444 cube stock appearing small block......  Click the link........ http://supercarraces.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=271&p=1886#p1886I'm going to start bolting it together tonight and will keep adding to it.

Personally, I would like to see it, but the price is always the issue with the small block mopars. I have been wanting one for a very long time, but mopar doesn't support the small block guys. You can shoot me, but for some time now, you can buy a 454 Cheepie small block crate motor that's 600hp on pump gas. Even comes with a dominator. How do you get one of those in a mopar for only $13k? Its gonna run you over $20k, and that's the reason so many build a big block instead. To get a 600hp pump gas mopar, it has to be a $20k small block or a mild big block, not much in between. Heck you still can't get a 4500 flanged intake for a small block mopar, you have to weld it and mill it yourself! http://www.worldcastings.com/prods_pages/101011.htmhttp://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+115+310209&D=310209I like the build you have going in the link, what did the crank run you? Also, my very mild 340 Cuda ran 12.0's all day at 112-114mph. I was surprised your 408 only went 11.90's, but maybe there's something I missed in your time slip.

There are already mid 11 second FAST small block single 4 cars out there, and that's faster than a good number of big blocks currently running.
Doesn't matter anyway, it's not like a small block guy is out to try and take down big blocks & Hemis in FAST, it's about seeing what you can do to make a stock appearing combo (any combo) look stock and run as fast as possible.
Exacatly. It's all in fun, to see what you can get your car to run. Good people, Good times.
Agreed, I will run a small block in F.A.S.T. and I am never ever going to win, it's ok just being there makes it worth the effort. What a lot of people do not realize is that the ONLY person you are ever really competing against on the strip is yourself.

Still, makes you wonder what that engine would do in a 2700lb 63-66 a-body? 
At the end of last season my Duster scaled at 2950 without me @ Atco.
that's what I'd put it in...what early valiants came w/ 273 super commando's?

Yeah, mine has the semi-circular cutout on the rearmost section. Of course it is permanently open.

Why couldnt you run a Mr. Norms car in this class, one of his supercharged cars or say a demon with a 6 pack?

Maybe because they weren't "production" cars. They were considered a dealer add on.

Can't wait to see the rest of the progress.
