I think it's a conspiracy against people from Deerfield. Personally, I like Deerfield...The Circle Restaurant, the dirt track, the cemetary that's the final resting place of the mother of a US President.

I've been posting here for sometime now and it seems as of late that I post something and either I get no replies or one or two. I've asked questions about stroked small blocks builds, I think I had maybe 10, asked about what needed to be done to an A-833 to standup to 600-700 Hp. I think I got 3 or 4.. I don't understand am I asking wrong, or is it that no-body runs this stuff.. I doubt the latter. I come here looking for help as many others do. I dont know everything and I appreciate the answers that members give, just seems to be lacking lately. Maybe its me 
But I'd like to hear some small block stroker builds. 340 or 318.. And what can I do to a A-833 to make it live at bout 600hp drag/street car. Thanks John
Not every one on here has the same parts as you or me  Some have no parts or experiences other than reading articles written by other people(some scribes with little or no expereinces either  )  Some don't care and respond anyways   Knowing what advise to use and what not to use is the hard part  As far as how to make the 833 hold up on the street and strip my way is to use a small enough tire or slipper clutch to allow some slippage on the line and on the one two gear changes  Sometimes you have to be the innovater and strike out on your own with out guidance. A old freind of mine use to say that advice is worth what you pay for it  Do you want my mailing address to send the check to Don't give up on this crowd, there are some really good people on here that will offer sound advice, not always on every post tho, unlike me

Read the acceptable side clearance post on page 2 and you will see why
Exactly! Lots of people can have different points of view ( that's a good thing ), but disagreeing with the "establishment" - first 4 or so posts - right or wrong - can be hard to take if your thinned skinned. I was part of that thread and retaliated a bit when one of my posts was referred to as BS. I probably should have just let it slide, but all in all, there was good info sharing on that post. As long as I have been playing on Moparts, it's how it is. I have learned a lot from the people on this web sight - some of which I have already put to good use. Moparts isn't that much different than many web sights of this nature. Some good, some bad, some ugly. My skin isn't very thin anymore, and I learn stuff all the time here, so I deal with it - - but don't call me Shirley!!

R-3 block with 9 " deck. 3.79 arm and 6" rods with a 4.25 bore. 13:1 , with an eye on running E-85 Solid roller with grind yet to be determined , since the heads ( W-9's ) are still being sorted and I need numbers before I settle on the final lift and duration etc. Same for the converter....until I get some numbers , I cannot order that. I am going with a low 1st. gear 727 and 3.91's out back. Detroit locker in an 8 3/4.....braced. All of this in a roughly 3,000 lb 1965 Dart. This is a " street car " in a manner of speaking. I will have it on the avenue , but it will see a lot of track time. I should back half it , but I am moving the leafs in ( SS leafs ) since I am breaking the bank on every thing else. 10 point cage. AlterKtion up front. Any help ? I thought so. That would be why I haven't replied. Guess what ? I know less about MoPar's than you probably......I have done the Chevy thing and big Ford thing. But the members here have been gracious and forthcoming with their experience in my case.....a HUGE help to me. But then , I live in St. Paul.  I wish you a lot of luck on your build.....I'd love to row the car , but the thought of leaving a trail of parts behind me twice a year scares the daylights out of me. If I had to , it would be a stouter piece than and 833 just for piece of mind. And that is well outside my budget. I wish I could help......in spite of my relative newbishness , every once in a while a blind hog finds an acorn. What I do know , I know from reading , using the search function and begging people who have beaten this path before me for clues. And a lot of it I will just figure out the hard way.

On a side note the duster was ss car running 9.93, went cal-tracs and went 9.80s. so I can help ya there.. Thanks

I believe it. I bought the SS springs early in the deal , but they are nearly new and don't work with Cal Trac s according to what i have read. If I can't sort these out , I will probably go to a single leaf / Cal Trac set up. So........instead of helping , you are just rubbing salt in the wound. Thanks.
