Well Ted I'm glad too hear you finally have a block,
so what is the estimated time before you get it on
the way back into the car.... what maybe a month

Can you give us a rundown on the build or is it too early - my buddy is getting ready to send his block to the MS for a 512 build so it would be good to compare notes.
Have fun.

That`s great...........I love waiting for the "it`s ready" call from the machine shop but of course I hate the "price tag". Sounds like it`s going to be a bruiser.

How tall are your rear tires ted?

that 456 is a lot of gear for that big stroker...no need to turn it too high

Kevin...They are 10.5x 29.5..I am wondering about the gears myself...I think it may be happier with a 4:10?? Jimmy said the block should be done today or monday from the machine shop...He also convinced me to go with a static oil pickup...

Ted,

I don't think it's too much gear really. You have 29.5 tires so the 4.56 should be fine.

Depends on how high you want to turn it , you will have to run it at CF and see where you are at the stripe .
