400cid

the worst small block ,other than the 305 chevy ever produced...

try again,,,

I just blew up a 305 chevy!

it was an old piece of crap...

My dream car is a '70 chevelle LS 6.

454 producing 450 hp and close to 500 ft-lb of torque.

a revolutionary car for the muscle generation.

This

For a dragster you can't go wrong with a set up like this.

Not a fan of the z28. Don't know why, just not.

But, one things for sure, any of these bury a pony every day of the week and twice on sunday.

383 is just a bored out 350. Even a 350 will be enough to force a transmission swap also!

not disagreeing. Just not my choice in cars.

Maybe from my days of growing up around a bunch of rednecks all idolizing the camaro body.

If you gonna swap out tranny's, may as well do it right and put in a ford 9 in rear-rear end.


Blaspheme, I know.

No no no...
a short tailed turbo 400 with a high stall speed torque converter and a 488 12 bolt chevy differential will do nicely.

But if it's a real drag racer, a two speed powerglide tranny is the way to go,,,

I'd love a 60's era Impala with the 427 hydramatic... 425 hp. WOO HOOO!

When your HP is close to your CID... you'ze cookin' wit grease.

That's why they make a lot of different cars, dude. Somebody thought the Avalanche looked nice... it didn't, IMO.

Pacer? Gremlin? Those were ugly cars. The 66 Impala SS was beautiful.

HD The 383 chevy is a 400 crank and 350trans block. Damn rookies.

yes,
it's called a stroking,,
and the they come apart at high rpms.

I forgot wheel knows everything. Pffft.

Rollers are too much work,,,

don't hate, get a real pimp ride, pick you up a 63 Wildcat and you'll be set.

Macs, I'll say they're not bad at all, a few guys around here have some rather original, really nice!!!

Hill........ wheel dont know about roller motors. Or anything else for that matter.

Did someone say stroking????


Ford is better and everyone knows it. Chevys are for people who turn wrenches like a monkey.

Course all you people in flyover country only have straight roads anyways so a crappy car that doesnt turn doesn't matter.

Looks like Wheel has been reading a hot rod mag and feels empowered. You go boyyyyyyyyyy!

Only way I could think of is if it was solid lifters and not hydraulic lifter and the same could be said about the flat tappet lifters they need adjusted pretty often

It has lotsa pictures too.....

Mopar for me back then, 383's 440 twin 4 brls and 426 Hemis were my world.

(72 Sebring+ with 383 RR engine, slapstick auto for me back then)

A 69 396 Chevelle vs. 383 RR the race went both ways depending on the night. Both were great street cars.

Chevys? 302Z Camaro was a very kool and fast machine, looked as fast as they ran.

U been watching to damn many Ford commercials Jamie LOL

nope

I had a few hot rods in my time...
