What in mine? My '67 has a 383 in it!
Ok then , Like I said in the other thread . Then do something with the 383 B block . There dam good motors and if you use the right parts you can make a B block work real good in your application . The key with the 383 over the 440 would be that the RB 440 already has a lil more torque over the B block and your going to want some bottom end torque to pull that size truck as well as spin those big heavy tire's . But you can build that into the B block . Hell you could even pick up a B block 400 punch it out 30 over use a bottom end out of an RB 440 and come out with somewhere around 451 cubic inch's . Now pick the right parts and you'd have a killer motor , more then enough torque , more then enough power and you'd still be able to get pretty good mileage . Once again , It's all in picking the right parts and not going overboard . People have a tendency to loose track of what there final goal is when they build motors . I know that's kind of the pot calling the kettle black in my own case , when in the middle of building my motor I decided that I wanted to go fast . But I do try to build them per application .What in mine? My '67 has a 383 in it!
That 383 was built to last.
But, it IS an old Dodge truck!Thanks Swedefish , I do appreciate it . I'll tell yah , Even though I'm far from done , It's a blast to drive and I've caught a few people off guard , thinking it's just an ole Dodge truck . lol
You only need power steering for parking, those front tires make it even easier.There's no upper ear for the power steering pump bracket
That's true All I should really worry about is trying to keep it straight when I hit the gas .lolYou only need power steering for parking, those front tires make it even easier.
Too bad you're not closer, I have a couple extras laying around..
Something tells me , if we lived closer together , we'd be getting into even more trouble then we do now . lolToo bad you're not closer, I have a couple extras laying around..
I'd probably have my crap done if you lived nearby! I get distracted easily when I'm working alone, the girlfriend's not the best project manager, but she is the best criticizer!Something tells me , if we lived closer together , we'd be getting into even more trouble then we do now . lol
