Where is everyone #5

74 Camaro on a blazer frame with 17-40’s…?

 

If you know you know….

 

Nice… good choice.

 

What would that do?

I found a couple OEM cast 350 cranks nearby for a hundred bucks. Haven't found any 400's yet.

 

Big tin foe on that hand!
Both sound like excellent choices

Had my eyes peeled for late 80's early 90's Dodge D series for a while. Seen a few nice ones, but can't bring myself to part with any money..

 

I built a 383 one time for a 68 I had. Used trick flow aluminum heads, TRW forged flat tops, an elcheapo summit 272/282 split duration cam with Harland sharp roller rockers 1.6 ratio. A center squirter Holley and MSD ignition. It wasn’t something you’d take to a shoot out or anything but it surprised lots a people. I’ve always been partial to Big Blocks and I kept the hood down most had no idea a little mouse motor is all I had under the hood. Where most make that fatal mistake is too much cam for what the heads will flow.

 

Those trick flows are purdy nice heads , you remember the cfm on em ?

 

Amazon has Vevor brand aluminum loaded SBC heads. They look like knock off Brodix or Promax heads. At 1/3 the price I might be tempted to try a pair on a 2 bolt 350 engine.

Few people were telling me Vortec heads are a decent budget head but after seeing the pricing I could get better flowing performance aluminum heads for the same price.

 

Well this showed up today. My local Pete place was able to beat 4 states prices after a bit of talking with Herd.

It also seems that Herd screwed up and added lift assist when it wasn't ordered. It was a 600$ish upcharge from my original quote.

Dealership charged me the originally quoted price.

 

Shorter stroke, quick reving, I was just throwing that option out there. My 67 was factory 300 hp with the double hump heads. I ran a quadrajet from a 73 Buick 455, did a good job for me…..
