First off on that motor, WOW. I can't quite tell, is it a 440, or 383? And you say those boxes are train tracks? The only tracks I know of that need a box that big are G scale, LGB. Are you a garden model railroader? I'm an N scaler.coyotekiller said:mjoyner408 said:are those 12 packs of coke on the shelf?

Where do you run your car and in what class?
What all have you done to the motor?
I've raced super pro dragsters for over 25 years and I'm now collecting parts to build a 70 cuda to run in super street 1/8 mile. Slow, slow, slow.
I plan to have a friend of mine build my 383. He builds super stock motors for NHRA cars. He says that he can build an almost bullet proof 383 for me. I'm slowing down in my old age and I don't have the time or money to be maintaining them like I used to.

hotrod98 said:That's my plan with this cuda. I want to do mostly testing and tuning. No stress, just having fun driving. I want it set up for the Super Steet class just in case I get the urge to enter occasionally. I said that I wouldn't race any more when I sold the last dragster.
I sold my B5 blue 69 Superbee to a guy in New Jersey last summer. He takes it out to the drags occasionally. I think he goes over to E-town, not totally positive. He may join the forum eventually under the name bigblocksam.
Have you ever heard of stroking a 383 with a 440 crank? While I've owned numerous mopars over the years, I've always raced chevy motors due to the low cost of the good parts and don't know much about building mopar race motors.

They would use a 440 crank and off set grind them 3/8 of an inch,I think they use 400 rods I can't really remember then 383 pistons and would be a 421 or 432 CI.
I would have to go back through some old build books to be sure
