100%! This keeps my 409 cool even in the Texas heat.

Wow! :browAlways cool seeing 409 High Performance setups! I have Ross pistons currently. I can remember when we received them my dad picking one up and saying "gawd dang those are heavy." I'm assuming he was comparing to his race motor stuff.

Not sure how to answer that. I suppose there’s a fine line between cost and power. I can tell you that I beat on the current setup pretty hard. I have a 6500 rpm chip in the MSD and hit it often, mainly because it never hooks on the street (ST-10 and Ford9”). 600hp feasible without anything...

Looks like i'll be using my existing 60-over truck block. Crank: Both manufacturers had issues early, hopefully they're all resolved? Or go with a machined 454 crank? What rod/piston combo? Needs to be pump gas and somewhat streetable. Would you change anything for an E85 build? Is there such...

I've been sitting on 348 block for a few years. I haven't considered that but it's definitely an option! Here's a deal on a stroker crank. Maybe a massaged 454 crank? Ebay Crank

I'll be doing this on my rebuild. I thought someone on here filled the engraving with JB Weld.

What crank are you using?

I must be getting bored. My truck block 409 with Eddy heads has been fun but I have the itch for more, like building a stroker short block and transferring my heads and intake over. What are you guys seeing truck blocks priced at? With my work travel between Oklahoma and Texas i'm seeing several...

Yea I figured as much. :) I need you guys to keep drilling up there! :pray

:Dhahah Just found this thread. I spent last week up there for work, it was good to get away from the Texas heat. Boy I love giving the guys up there hell about this dude :poke.

Thanks guys! I've been dreaming of getting the 61 out of the garage but this Texas heat is brutal right now. Birthday burnouts were missed this year. :)

Took the family there 2 years ago. Very nice. Very hot as well! How many times have you been approached with the Africa free bracelet? lol

Is that the bracket that Showcars offers? Any fitment issues?

Exactly what I needed! Thank you sir!

While the car is in the air i'd like to add the upper control arm since my Moser rear end didn't come with it. I have all the parts although I can't recall from who. The upper bars are adjustable. I've already bolted/mounted the bracket to the frame. The weld-on bracket for the rear end looks...
