Dang that's serious $ for a distributor ...
Agreed. I'd rather set up 4 or 5 stock distributors with different specs and just swap them out. That's partly because I have a pile of them though.

I used ARP main studs. The ARP studs have a hex broached in the end so they are a little nicer to work with. We had to notch the pan for the windage tray nuts so it took some effort to get everything to fit.
It ran nice on the dyno today. No leaks anywhere after plenty of stress testing, valve lash looked good, cranking compression is identical in all 8 holes, plugs look good. So she should be ready to drop back in the car so Tim can take it to the track this summer.

Did you do something different to it since the last dyno test you did to it?

I didn't take any pics of the windage tray mods. The engine builder did the work and he had it all together before I showed up with the camera.
Main change since last time on the dyno was the oil pan. Also changed the valve covers in an attempt to stop the various oil leaks. Ran a belt driven water pump this time so we chould check for leaks but it didn't seem to cost any power. Engine still made almost identical power to a year ago even though the dyno cell had seen a number of changes. Power curve is very similiar to a Viper, 520/520.
Oh, you meant notch the windage tray. I thought you meant notch the oil pan.
Was this at the pick up tube to windage tray area? We did that too.

June issue of Mopar Muscle has a follow up feature on this engine as well as a few pics of the car.
Awesome!!
I just took my 416 on it's maiden voyage last night. Gobs of torque. Glad I took Tim Werner's advice and went single plane for this kind of application. I think I'm going to have to be careful getting on the throttle on corner exits.
What is your feeling on running a PCV for this? I've heard it could be beneficial when getting off the throttle and on the brakes hard??

Why not like it? Who wrote the article? If it was you I think we can assume it's good, if it's regular MM staff...not so much. Ran

He might not think the picture is very flattering! We were both a little tired and dirty when I snapped the photo.
I've never worked on a car with a white shirt and light colored pants. Looks pretty clean and spotless to me.
...Put about 150 miles on my new stroker SB since Friday night driving around L.A.. These things are awesome!! Time to change oil, bump timing, and get it out on the track April 14th at Willow Springs!
