What an unlikeable person he is. I don't blame you. :rolleyes: 😂

Somtimes people get to the point of not being worth responding to. A guy telling us that he watched a video where two completely different engines with the same top end on them tells him that one engine with one change doesn't make a change and is changing less than what you did is (yes, his...

Different short blocks had different outputs? Who'da thunk it!? Timinator's explanation of what he did makes sense. Yours does not. Perhaps you misunderstood. 🤷‍♂️

I haven't really done enough driving without a bunch of burnouts and hard acceleration to be sure, but every time I do the math on mine it shows 9-10mpg. I've got a handful of things I want to do in the next month or two and then hope to drive it a whole bunch this summer and fall.

When I contacted them about getting a Lunati grind last winter they told me they still had all the profiles and it was just a (I think) 60 dollar upcharge for custom grind. Maybe 150? I forget exactly, but they said they would still make all of them by request.

I built what is really a pretty mild 512 stroker this time last year, with a lot of help from the folks here on this forum who know way more than me. Read through that thread and it'll give you some ideas. I did not dyno it, wish I had, but a lot of folks say it is likely right around that...

Yea, nothing about my car is factory so that doesn't bother me at all. They're going in a leather dash. :)

Why black over white? I just ordered the black. I think the white looks better stationary but the black shows the white pointer better so I can see what's going on at a glance. Hopefully install is as easy as folks say it is, I'd like to have real gauges in this thing this summer instead of...

Any chance he's got chassis dyno? I spend a fair bit of time in chico, I'd haul my car down there just for fun.

Sweet. I'm about 90% sure I'm going to order up a Dakota Digital dash set for mine. That'll be useful.

Cuda's a 65. 273 Red on red. Runs great, ugly, needs floors. It was being prepped for paint 25 or so years ago and the shop shut down and it lived there covered in tape and paper for most of that 25 years. Too many projects, not enough time. I need to retire. :D

I got that 7 quart pan from 440 source for my 512 and am completely happy with it. No leaks and no twisting and it looks good.

It's not terribly out of the way from Portland. Down in Pheonix, OR is Lindvig Machine. He's got an engine dyno at his place and he did all the machine and prep work for the 512 I built last spring. I highly recommend him and his work.

I've got a few little things I want to do to my 72 Challenger w/ 512 this spring before driving weather comes back again, but I just brought this home as a new project. It'll be a fun one. It's already got power disc brakes in all four corners, power steering, and a decent running 318 and auto...

I prefer the look of 275s over mini tubs and giant fat tires. Although the folks that go a little bigger, their rides look great too. I love them all. 😂
