440 -> 505 Stroker build

[2Luke2]

So we just wanted to update the thread with some more pictures of our progress. We finally got the motor together and in the car. We still have a lot of work to do, but hopefully you enjoy the pics as much as we do when we are browsing.

Looks great - I am nearing the same point on my 70 RT now.
Will install the headers this week with the engine out (2 inch TTI) to check clearance on Lakewood bellhousing. Would rather do any clearancing out of the car. 500 ci also. Had it broken in on dyno, 525 hp, 640 torque. Edelbrock heads and dual 600 chm setup. Dished pistons due to 0 elevation and Texas Gulf Coast heat in summer. Went with a Comp Cam hydraulic roller. Sounds great, and torque maxed out from 3200 to 6000 rpm without any drops.

Hemi 4 speed with 3.54 Dana in the back. Put the Passion Performance Overdrive gear set in the tranny, and beefed up the driveshaft, Dana cover, and U-Joint clamps.

Added sub frame connectors, connector under radiator, and a torque strap to motor mount.

Need to put the front suspension back in, took it all out and had it powder coated go mango to match the car. ave the engine on the K-member now and it looks sweet.

Due to health, progress is slow, but will have it put back together in the next few months.
