Starting a new build for my 65 Plymouth Belvedere

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

I gathered all new parts since September to do a bigger hemi.
It was time for a refresh anyway so I went with another Aluminum block, bigger Callies crank and now switched to Oliver steel rods. Only 225 grams heavier than the MGP Aluminum rods that needed to be replaced.
Went to a new Comp cams .798 roller cam from my old .737 roller.
New Crower lifters and new pushrods. Keeping my indy -4261RA CNC Heads and intake and going to use the new Dale Cubic Edelbrock Carbs. Engine will be quite a bit larger from the last engine. Compression will be 14.5:1
Pistons are by CP
Rotating assembly being balanced this week and assembly will be starting by the end of the week.Pics to follow.

I'd like to know what you think of the indy Maxx Block, how much $ machining to finish it up to the point of assembly

So far it's my 2nd indy maxx block this year I bought.
If I were not under the gun I would have waited for a KB block but 8 months wasn't happening. I just finished a hemi build with a KB block and I really didn't see that much of a difference in quality.

I opted to get pushrod oiling which indy calls hydraulic oiling directly done from them as well as bushed lifter bores an the thicker sleeves. I went with a 4.490 rough bore and my engine shop finished it with a torque plate and line honed.
Total price from Indy delivered was $5700.00

I'll be watching

good luck

sounds like even more power to come

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

4.75 Callies crank is all balanced and the assembly starts tomorrow.
looks like 24"-36" of snow and 65 mph inds. So hopefully it'll get started.

Aluminum block is 185 lbs. lighter than my mega block. The blue Plymouth should wheelie like a mofo now even more with the frontend even lighter now.

Went with Oliver rods this go around. They didn't way much more than my GRP and my MGP rods.
