AFR eliminator race heads, new solid Comp Cams 600” lift/ 290” duration, high rise intake, 850cfm Holley and a 3800 stall converter. Heads that came on the motor were too small with 180-185cc intake runners and it choked out at 5,000rpms. Had to shift at 4900 rpms, ran 12.5’s. I can’t wait to actually get into and use the powerband. Easily gets to 7,000 rpms now it only need 64-6500 rpms which is the top of the powerband. All parts match the beginning and end of powerband. It’s a new motor which has woken up so to speak. Runs real easy. No choke and I can start it and walk away and it will just run. It’s a 383 Stroker backed by a TH400 w/3800 stall and ends with tiny rearend (7.5”) with 3.73 gears. Started with 4.56’s but due to low rpms I couldn’t get to the end of the track last year. 12.5 is with 3.73’. Oh and just picked up a 12 bolt posi with 4.88. It’s gonna be fun.
) on NOS wiper blades. Interesting, the original blades have a slight "ANCO" stamped into them, where these do not, however, they're the spitting image. And use Anco refills. Go figure.
