New motor is finally here!

[1967coronet440]

Looks great.
Very similar to what I'm eventually going to have.
Stock stroke on mine.
Should move pretty good!

Hoping to turn mid/low 10's in the 67

What weight?

What weight?

Eh if I had to guess I'd say 3800ish, give or take. Car isn't put back together yet, no back seat, glass hood, 15 gallon cell, 4 link, wheels weigh next to nothing, just a guess I've never had it on a scale before

Slight diet, no console or back seat left door panels no wipers etc...

Maybe one of you know what the plugs in front of the heads are for, they came from edelbrock like that. I'm guessing if you want to have an external oiling system?

Freeze plugs for water jackets?

What valley pan is that? Looks detached from the intake gaskets?

I really want to ditch the valley pan/intake gasket setup. It's so lame!

Was in the staging lanes on the weekend. A fellow that lost to me earlier was standing in front of my car so I honked and startled him. He was like "WTF is with the horns on that thing for", then I turned on my wipers.. lol. Ouch.

It's an edelbrock valley pan, that style is required with the super victor intake

I believe its if you had your block filled with blok filler, you could still run a external water pump for the heads.

be careful with those valve covers my buddie bought 440source covers that I believe are taller than the mopar ones and he had problems with the rocker arms hitting the valve covers, on the dyno

Hmmm interesting, I imagine the builder checked for clearance.
