Ok. there is absolutely no room anywhere under the car. I think I might need a blow torch, a grinder and a saw zall just to get the headers off.

lol.

Anyways I think I got the casting #s. I hope they are right.D1VE6815-A2B
Is that right. I could not see anything but 815 so I took paper and rubbed my dirty finger over it. Tried camera no luck, tried mirror no luck and wasn't about to try and remove the starter today.

Lmao!welcome to bb world. It would be better with k memb spacers. Yes you done good that is block cast number it was same from 71 thru 78. I believe.so it has dish unless it is a 429.they had flat tops. Best way to tell is measure stroke. Or eye balling crank which would require engine removal. U can measure stroke thru plug hole but is near impossible on a cramped engine bay.lolthe block will have 460 stamped on front but means nothing cause 429 and 460 used same blocks.let's assume it is a 460. It will be dished pistons and the formula I gave below will meet your goals.the weak links as power increases will be pistons and rod bolts.but I think you will be fine for now. Now.if you want to see a gain with little work.change timing chain to earlier 69 70 style or aftermarket. Get a recurved duraspark or aftermarket. And watch that bad boy wake up with little effort or cash. After that. Your nxt option will be the heads worked lol keep it simple and have fun.

While you are in cover might as well install the cam already mentioned. You. Will be surprised. Less than 300 bucks and you will be rocking pretty good assuming the suspension all works good.lol good luck keep us posted.

If u change cam I would suggest a pushrod upgrade. Roller rockers are not needed but a plus.sure I will think of something. What does your fuel system consist of?

I have ran it with stock springs. But they have to be in very good conditon.I suggest an upgrade not knowing condition. I would get a set of the drop in springs.for insurance.

waypastcrazy · 03-03-2010, 05:21 PM

Your fuel system should work fine for now.

waypastcrazy · 03-03-2010, 05:32 PM
