426 from 400.

[Don Dulmage <big-d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For you motor guys fooling with the b series big block our LITTLE 400 stroked to 426 made it first outing in an RED this month. it is an old fuel car so it is a bit heavy but the little b uncorked a string of 5.75s in the eighth . We are aiming for 5.60 anythings. This engine came right out of the doorslammer so is a practical motor for anyone running a 383 nostalgia set up in our 62 to 65 cars.  There was a string of Chevy racers during lunch coming  down to our pit to see if itr REALLY WAS a Mopar BB in that rail.. (I am serious. It was almost a parade.) 
Most are runing 540 BB Chevies and a couple of 610s and were quite shocked to get stung by a lil ol 426 cubic inch 400. 
One guy told me he had 35 in his car (he meant $35000) I told him we had that in this motor but I meant $3500) All he could manage was a whispered 'i know, i ve heard" 
Anyway no secrets if anyone wants the combo info is available.  peak power is a 6850
