The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Dodge big block

Yes I was thinking about a buick straight 8,the cost was a little high ,engine would cost 500.00 than a complete rebuild around 3000.00 and that was if I could find one with insert rod bearings.I was going to do it but this engine ,dodge big block 400,is free and the engine was rebuilt already so the savings are there,it will free up money I can use to buy a better truck to start the project.

This is a 4 bbl carb model,and I'm not looking for a fire breather just yet.Would like to put in a mild cam and a better manifold ,headers for now.

I was also looking at a Ford Y block I think that would also make a good Hot Rod engine.

I would like to find an original dual carb manifold the one that has the carbs off to the sides.


Thanks,Pete
