I appreciate all the input from everybody. I'm still in the planning stages to an extent and am trying to get a good plan together. 3600 for a 500" short block is not bad at all. The nice thing with a 500 is i believe you can get away without fancy oil pickups and external systems correct...

Well guys I have been spending a lot of time on the coronet lately since work has been slow. I have made up my mind that I am going to build a 543 stroker for the old girl. My question is what would be good to look for as far as a core builder? Obviously for the most part, all I need is a...

My bad, 15x8 is what I meant but auto correct had other ideas

Thanks for the reply runner. So I can get a front in a 15x12 with 3.75 inches backspacing and 0 offset. So that should fit the car fine?

It's a 68 coronet. The rears are not too crucial as the car is getting mini tubbed and a Dana 60 is getting narrowed for it. So I will pick the most common lowest offset for the rears in case I ever wanted to change rims. But I'm not familiar what I would need for the front in either a 7 or 8...

Any thoughts?

Yea I realized that. Just think the style will really fit the car. It's a 68 coronet. So what does a 7" wheel need for back spacing, and theoretically an 8 " need?

Well there are either 15 or 16s I can choose from for the front. But they have a bigger back spacing in 16 inch wheel. Not sure what I would need for back spacing and tire size for 8 inch wide rim.

I'm not too picky on size on the front, but I would like to use some size of those rims if I can!

http://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/summit-racing/product-line/summit-racing-nomad-diamond-cut-wheels?SortBy=DisplayPrice&SortOrder=Ascending Those are my choices I need the 15x10s for the the mickeys on the back and really like the rim.

I found the rear rims I want, problem is the narrowest rim they make for the front is an 8 inch wheel. Is it even possible to fit an 8 on the front and if so what tire would be needed and backspacing?

What has the average cost been for getting one done even in Stock form?

http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/body/hrdp_0903_diy_mini_tubbing_guide/ That should give you a fairly good idea of what's involved. The guy doing mine gets rid of the factory inner wheel tub because they taper in towards the to making clearance at full travel less. I need to get a spool and...

Thanks for all the good info 413! I talked to the builder today and he said that 29x15.5 sportsman is the absolute biggest tire that will fit with a mini tub. The rims are all centerline solid aluminum ones, tires are probably half life or less all around and one steer is junk due to tread...

I already have one hot rod cummins, not in the plans for this build! I think I'm going to build the 440 and see what happens. The worst I can do is grenade it and start over. I'm kind of thinking about running a nasty big bore with lower boost.

I found a set of mickey Thompson Sportsman 29x15.5 that have a sectional width of 15.3 inches. I'm not sure if they will fit or not but the deal is pretty good on nice aluminum wheels.

Anybody know where I could turn up some used tires? Every thing I find I'd too narrow or too wide!

Has anybody used 440source stroker kits and what are the reviews?

Im not really sold on a big block. If mopars are like chevys, the big blocks cost way more to build. Just looking for strongest engine per dollar I guess would be how to explain it.

So on one of my first posts I got booed out the door as I was planning on running a small block chevy. I have done some talking and Have got quite a few opinions the mopar engine is going to be a better fit literally. I don't know much about dodge engines as the only ones I worked on in...
