You guys need to build a Mopar for NHRA Stock. Must retain original cam lift, CR, intake/carb, valve size, head casting, stroke, rod length, for HP claimed, and maximum .070 over bore. A lot of Mopar combinations will run one second, or more under their indexes. A good 1970 340 Duster/Demon fits in E/SA and will run 10.60's! Cool video.

The horse power is in the block it needs to be 0 decked, line bored to get the bores centered and straight then, you get a light weight rotating assembly and main girdle if you want 650 horsepower in a dependable street car, or no girdle if you don't go over 550 horsepower anyway getting the block decked and line bored to center up the pistons and bring them to the top of the deck will pay off big time

Yeah, but those stock cast pistons wouldn’t be able to handle much… which being youd want to tear it down and gap the rings for boost and all anyway (I would at a minimum throw in bearings, rings, new oil pump, and clean and check everything out in an engine that’s going to be beat on, boosted, sprayed, etc.. and with any pistons, stock, aftermarket, or otherwise, you’ll want to gap the rings for boost) then you may as well spend a couple hundred bucks and get a set of the forged speed pro (trw) stock replacement pistons, which are the same weight as the stock pistons, so you don’t have to worry about the balance or anything like that, and then with the forged pistons, forged rods (which all mopars have forged rods from the factory unlike the other brands) you’ll be able to live with a bit more boost..
@chriswest5360
@chriswest5360 3 жыл бұрын
The only thing nowadays with the stock 440 crank in a 400 block is that by time you spend the money in the machine work you can get an aftermarket stroker crank.. and then also with using the stock crank, and then buying your pistons, rods, bearings, rings, and the balance job you are looking at the rotating assembly costing more than a stroker kit that’s already balanced (which I would still have the balance and all checked to make sure that it’s good to go)

@@chriswest5360 true... Of course youre right about the rimg gaps and some fresh bearings etc. Sometimes low buck is the only way though... Eons ago I built a 440 for my 68 Dart, but no way could i afford new pistons. So after work I milled .065 off the 452s I had laying around. Did spend $13 for the MP porting template, and lotsa hours, but ended up with compression and decent flow for basically nothing. The Dart became my daily for years, and eventually broke into the 11.50s. Of course, being a fleet mechanic for a wood mill with a decent machine shop comes in handy...!!!

I made $$ as a teenager doing tune ups and I rebuilt hundreds of carbs in the heat of west Phoenix. Thermal Quads warped and cracked, if over tightened lots of carburetor main bodies would warp, Quadrajets and Carter AFBs included. As time passed lots of base plates that required separators got lost and heat risers rusted shut so intakes filled with carbon that was hard as steel. A big block with a properly jetted Thermal Quad made tons of torque and buckets of horse power. Holly's just dried up and crapped the bed in the heat, more than one car caught fire thanks to Holly double pumpers.

@@TwentytenS4B8 NASCAR never banned 426 Hemi's. They required any engine being run to actually be a production engine. Mopar stopped making the 426 at the end of the 71 model year so they started using the 440. Now any engine over 305 c.i. was banned for use in the aerocars like the Superbird, Daytona and Talledaga Fords. That is why they dropped them in 1971. But the Hemi was never specifically banned in NASCAR.

I just acquired a Chrysler 383 bolted to an A727 transmission ( came out of a 1971 Challenger ) I’m going to put it in a 1971 Dodge D100 I’d like to have it built just like this engine here . Can you provide me with the details on the build ?

My '70 Charger 500 has original numbers-matching 383 Magnum, already upgraded to electronic ignition, Edelbrock Performer intake and Eddy 750 cfm carb, bored 0.30, mild performance engine rebuild 3 decades ago and it's been sitting for 20-odd years, now in the shop for body & paint. I'd also be interested in knowing what the next, best bang-for-the-buck performance upgrades I should consider. Still running the stock HP exhaust manifolds. Should I go with headers? An expensive MSD distributor like in this video? I'd like to get up over 400 hp too. Thanks.

Slap some Edelbrock heads on the 440. Even with that low compression, it would put it close to 500 HP. Also, with that CR, it's screaming for boost.

Use the Hughes Whiplash cam 3245 for the 440. Ground for the .904 lifter with .518 lift (1.5 rocker), 107LS/102IH, 232/245, twenty thou factory head gaskets, 1972 440 8.5 comp. Grossed 418 hp on used (NOT rebuilt with 89,000 miles). Valves springs 125lbs/300lbs. Your Comp Cam has less lift and I DOUBT it's profile was for the superior .904 larger lifter face; probably a Chevy core for the little .842 lifter.

Guys, when Dulcich made the cam install to 101 degrees to close the intake valve sooner, was he taking into consideration the fact that the cam that was chosen would not produce power unless the 440 you are running was at 9.5:1, the lowest the cam could run and still make power? Get that out...just wondering.
@dahut3614
@dahut3614 2 жыл бұрын
That's only one degree advanced from spec. The specs on that cam are very similar to the Hughes Whiplash cams that are designed especially for low compression engines. In fact, they don't recommend over 8.9:1 on pump gas! There must be something with that tight lobe separation angle and long duration, but the science completely eludes me.
