    Is a 528 Hemi a 426 Hemi just stroked and bored?

    With a 426 block, you have 2 stroker kit options, 472 and 528. Of course, horsepower can vary greatly (425 and way up, depending on how much money you want to spend to get it) that will make a difference in your transmission lasting. Also whether you want to street race it or drag race on the...

    no hot water to heater

    Both points well taken!! It now works fine. I disconnected one side of the core hoses, let some coolant come out and within seconds, very hot water started to flow, maybe it was the air in the core or maybe the thermostat kicked in or BOTH.......Thanks very much. Dan

    68 GTX from 440 to 426 hemi question

    Air Grabber set ups are of course quite expensive. I'm just using the air grabber pop up hood scoop and none of the duct work and plumbing under the hood. But if you're going to stay with factory original type of stuff, it's going to be hard not to shell out the bucks.
