"B" block stroker questions

THAT sucks about the machine shop!!!
AGHHHH
Even if they do work for free(well correct the work they were paid to do in the first place, all that in and out and tearing engine down!!!

So the video is of the stock Magnum/RR cam?
Sweet, that's the cam I think I want.
My last 440 had a purple shaft, I think it was 284 and 474 lift.(Mopar numbers)
I also used the Mopar steel shim, but that was with worked 452 heads from Arrowhead,(INDY's cheap line parts)

What cam is in the video titled 2nd stroked 400 startup?


I am hard of hearing and in the one you posted link on here, it has a lot of background noise and the radio was on, on the one 2nd stroked 400 start up I can hear that one a lot more clearly, then the other.


Also it is VERY hard to tell via a video, and crappy lap top speakers(on my end) but when your standing in front of car, is that a valve train noise(or other engine tick) I am hearing?

Or is that just background noise, or echo?
Thanks.

both vids are Crower 282HDP... just that on the first vid maybe timming was a bit advanced, getting higher iddle. engine wasn't really tuned yet, just was to get it run to break the cam and lifters.

yes on second vid there is a bit of valve train noise. Couldn't tell what it was. In person doesn't heard that loud. Well, that vid was taken maybe 6 years ago, 3 or 4 months after the engine was build. My car is in pieces since 5 years ago ( body job ).

Oh I mis read the first post.
It sounds nice at idle, wish you had cracked the throttle a few times!!!! So I could hear it bark!.

If cash is a deciding factor, then rebuilding and  porting iron heads to feed a 500 inch mill are out of the question. The eddy heads painted blue, with a powersteering pump and ac compressor lingering over them, will pass fine for stock. You can always media blast the face to give them the cast look.

THAT IS ENGINE PORN right there!!!!
WOW!!!!

Well the 440 source $1,000 buck stealths were what I was thinking, and if cash allows, then I spend the extra for their cnc porting, unless they suck.


I fired up the #'s 383 today,(idles a touch high) but she sounds good!!!! She is crisp, I cant wait, to get doing something.

That is russ's 11 second monster that idles at 750 rpm.... aluminum heads and all.

The 2D intake is pretty tall and the eddy style head is obvious to a mopar enthusiast.  The Stealth heads can make the same power.  But there are so few mopar guys out there, you need to ask yourself who are you trying to fool.   9 out of 10 guys that look under the hood think it is stock until I tell  them otherwise.  People simply don't know what a stock 50 year old mopar looks like.

The CH4B with an AVS style 800 cam Eddy carb would look more stock,  but you'll give up power.  If you insist on the factory intake, your road and cost to make any real power will be tough and expensive

After seeing your combo, its not so bad, as the paint helps hide the parts.
I am not 100% dead set on the stock intake, or well the aluminum Mopar copy, that's what is on my 383 now, but I was wondering what the balance was.
And the only person I am trying to fool, is myself, because its my car, LOL.
Like I have said before I have had hot rods before, I want this one to be stock, well stock looking.
On a stock magnum cam 383/440(10:1), what would the stealth heads add?




I just saw a 496 build (stroked 383) and after the rebuild he started of with the stock 1967 2Bbl intake and carb, then went to the performer rpm intake and carb, and added 110HP, with just that change!!!!
I know my 4Bbl Mopar to performer rpm would not be as dramatic, but I have a lot to think about!!!
