My new eng I am building is well underway with the block still at the machine shop and all the shortblock pieces sitting in my living room. After talking with Dwayne (Da Man) I have decided to go with the Indy EZ heads since they have more potential then the Eddy RPM. Dwayne is giving me a great deal and even though I like to do my own head work I would rather let the "best" do these heads for me. Dwayne will also spec the cam as again the best will be doing it. It will be a pump gas 493 and I hope it puts my 63 solidly into the 10's. I still want to drive to the track and run 10's and then drive home. Besides I dont own a car trailer. Ron

That sweet plymouth of yours deserves Indy 440-1 heads CNC ported with a nice max wedge style intake. Why play it safe.my

That sounds like a solid plan Ron It won't be long before a matching MW intake is sitting on top of that stroker blasting you deep into the 10's PRH = Top shelf results Ron

I'll echo Ron's comments on both accounts.... Good news that you have Dwayne in your corner. he will set you up right. And on the other point, build a MW type deal for that '63. MB

I forgot but yes it is an 8-3/4 rear in the car now. I only race a few times a year but I figure I will use this setup to see how the 4.30 gear works and then soon I will go with a Dana. Hopefully the 8-3/4 will hold up for a few track passes. Ron

Ron, Good to hear your new build is coming along!! You goin MW size ports? Sounds like your new combo and my new combo should be a good heads up race!! You will have a little more head (Gonna use my Porter ported BS heads), but I'll have a few more cubes, 512. Same gear and close on the Vert. You goin with a flat tappet? Im still on the fence. I have all of the stuff to go roller, but dont want to put down 1200 for set of flippin rockers. Probably will go flat.... What compression you gonna end up with?
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.
