RE: 64

Thanks Don, Extra clutches for the 727 is doable. I have a newer case I
found on ebay so I'll rebuild it and add a clutch. Had a 64 Spt Fury 38
years ago that had a 383 and seemed to have plenty of power then so the 440
instead of the 512 maybe the way to go. Definitely more affordable. Another
issue I was wondering about is cooling. I've owned a Super bee w/383 and a
Charger RT W/440 and never had a problem cooling the engine , but they were
stock bore. Anybody who's bored a newer 440 block 30 or 60 over had any
cooling problems?

When i did my cari found a BB case and swapped in the guts from the poly
727. I flogged the pats a bit with an extra clutch and a fabrictaed governor
along with afairanks street trans kit. Shift just above 6000 which suits the
cam fine. 
Stroked 440? Well maybe but a Or style 440 will deliver all the power one
could ever want for reasonable street use.
Stroked 400s are fun as wel. my favourite is the 426 froma 400 bild which we
have done twice now. makes a 10 to one engine from a 400 with all stock
parts and adds 26 cubes. That and a decent cam willl gove you a 361 383 look
alike wth TEETH!
I have run the B&t for now some 35000 hard abusive miles ad not even a
whimper so i am convinced there is no ned to change. My engine is not stock
either and would occasionally lift the wheels on thee street till i put in
the 355s and taller tires. (my wife didnt like the feeling of no steering on
hard accelaration) I figured I had tested that jiont well and it seems to
have no trouble daling with it. Dvorak told me it wold take it too Said he
has run one in his record A/SA car for awhile with no problem.
Anyway you have nice models there and whatever you do will produce a
wondeful vehcle. 
Don
