    Who has used a 440 crank in a 383 block?

    Talking of strokers, this is well Hardcore stuff indeed! The Hinkles 426ci Poly engine... 600hp and a hemi beater out of a Poly engine. We built the UK's only 402ci Poly stroker for our 66 Coronet 4-speed. So if you are going to build exotic strokers them ''make it worthwhile doing'' we always...

    Who has used a 440 crank in a 383 block?

    The turned down 440 crankshaft was for a 451 in a 400 block. It was Koffel's favourite engine with 452 iron heads highly ported. They ran mid tens all day long in the 90's, but now the S/B guys are getting those times with 318 blocks! It just goes to show how limiting the 440 iron head was and...

    What HP will a 23 spline take?

    Nice replies guys! So the 402ci set-up should be fine and maybe the 8 3/4 will let go first. Gonna run a 528ci hemi in my Duster with a 23 spline A-body box, wonder how long that will last???:mob:

    '516' vs. '915' small valve heads

    Best head ever made and only for one year how strange? There are a few slightly different 516 castings I have found and the 67 ones have the larger exhaust ports like the 915! The earlier 516 are very restricted on the exhaust and any porting breaks through pretty quick. I have run mid tens...

    5 year old Cooper Cobras cracking…… ?. Anyone else? ?

    Yep factory supplied tyres always last longest! Seen them do 50,000 miles and twenty years with careful driving. My new tyres on my GTX were showing sidewall cracks after two years!!! I guess lack of use makes the issues worse as rubber is a organic compound...:mob:

    WTB Wanted please Lifter Bore re-bushing kit

    I have checked all my Mopar blocks ranging from 273 all the way up too the mighty 440's. All have lifter bore issues, some maybe 'one or two' sloppy bores to some with over half that are suspect. I don't see much chat about this problem on the relative Mopar sites? I guess most folks are...

    CNC Ported 318 Poly Heads

    Nice Poly work everyone! We have a 402cube Poly that Gary Pavlovich helped us build. Got a trick Shneider camshaft at 0.525 lift but the lifter bores are shot. Hoping to find a LIFTER-BORE re-bushing kit from somewhere we hope to sort out the problem. Best wishes from Poly John
