The suspension is going to be something along the line of D60 3.73, SS type springs, Hoosier QTPs or similar tire. That is what me and the builder came to when we talked through the concepts and goals of the build. The converter is a 3500.

As far as the heads holding me back, I have seen guys on here running high 9s low 10s with ported 906s so wont the CNC Stealths be ok looking at it from that point of view, they should flow 320 @ 600 according to the website. As far as the what will it run, I will save that for when I get the car back and all is said and done.

Big compression does wonders for the heads you mention ! I know you wanna stay on pump fuel also!

Stealths are fine, especially in CNC form, 320 CFM will get you ~650hp with the right cam/compression, I just think the rest of your combo is better suited to the Indy 2d than the others mentioned

Speaking of "Holy ancient thread Batman", how'd your build work out Don?

It's in my shop right now. Cudaguy has been to Iraq, Afganistan, and is now stationed in Hawaii till oct 2014. Engine is built and installed, trans is done, doing his dana now, and pulling the a/c system, plus some wiring work issues that had been haunting him. Stealth heads upgraded by Modern cyl heads, roller cam from sledgehammer, Victor intake, profab 950, 2 inch hooker super comps, 3800 ta with cheetah rmv, dana has a 373 with a 35 spline powerlok , moser axles. He is in town for a couple of days for family. He stopped by and drove his car for the first time yesterday, but only for 1/2 mile on a gravel road It will give him something to dream about until oct 2014.

Wow when I posted on here I did not have my 493 built and its been in my 63 since June 2011. Here is what I used so far:

440 block .030 over and main studs
440Source kit with 4.15 crank and dished pistons
Indy EZ heads from Dwayne Porter at 10.6 comp....I decided to go with EZ heads in case I want to step it up more in the future.
Custom grind cam solid flat tappet from Dwayne Porter .585 & .592 that is 264 & 270 @ .050 on a 110 LSA and its in on a 106 ICL.
Hughes 1.6 roller rockers
Indy dual plane intake and an 850 DP
Mallory dist and MP ign
TTI 2" headers and a full X-pipe 3" exh


I actually have only put 7 passes on the eng with a 10.76 @ 124.49 best in my 3700 lb 63. It is a street car I drove to the track and it runs on 92 pump. I really think it will go faster with more carb as it wanted a ton of jet in the 850. Good luck with yours , Ron

Love your engine build. Cudaguys car has been running for quite a while now, were just not in a hurry to wrap it up, with him being gone out of the country. He has me do things to his car as finances allows. This lets me do others things to, so it works out good for us.

I also added billet mains and a girdle from 440 source. I am sure Don is hoping to run around the same times as you are. I told him low 11's and maybe be able to dip into the 10's once he's got it all dialed in. He will still have other things to do to his car, once it leaves my shop.

hehehe figures, I was waiting for that from you.. There is actually a youtube vid link I think on CC.c site. It just shows a small burnout in my shop tho. Jason, when Don drove his car yesterday, he didn't want to take it out of 1st or even go up to 2k. The gravel road had him hipmotized. His next visit, the car will be ready for the highway. No insurance kept me from letting him venture off to far. I live on a very short deadend road way out in the sticks.

I just want to say Thanks for your service, and stay safe while in Afghanistan!
