anybody with big block knowledge

[95cobra]

I haven't had time to really get under car yet to see what all has been done. Not sure on body lifts or anything else. Its a pretty smooth ride considering what it is.

I have only been up close and personal with one BB install in a fox
and I don't remember using a body lift but I have slept since then.

This was an 85 coupe with a 429, glide and a 9 inch. We did use
an AJE K-member but IDK if that made any difference. The car ran
6.30's on motor in the 1/8

The d2ve are pretty much the crappy head because it has no quench pad in the combustio chamber. the d3ve are approx 94 cc chamber the dove c9ve scj etc are approx 74 cc .the pi or d2oe approx 80cc if u have d3ve on stock pistons ur compression sux also if if u have a stock timing set it will be retarded unless it is a c9 or dove engine .what dizzy if a duraspark it needs to be recurved on the advance i could go on but need the details.600 is good price if it has headers bb mounts and the bb rear sump pan those items alone r worth most of the money.if nothing else part it out.

Thanks for info. I will find out what year and what heads are on motor soon.

As far as I know this motor is completly stock minus intske and carb. I am looking to be able to drive around town every now and then and still run decent #s at track.

sent you a pm about the hood

[waypastcrazy]

depends on if the k member was a dropped style k member + if it had engine plates or engine mounts also the power glide gives more room to raise rear of tranny which the c6 does not in this application.i have seen few done correctly and alot with the front of engine pointed towards the moon.i beleive their is a video and pics of one of my installs in project forum under 91lx.their are always more than one way to do something correctly and or incorrectly.this is just my opinion.the reason i would not use the drop style k member is it leaves me the option of changing to small block or possibly selling the k member later.

in this case you have lots of room for power gains without breaking the bank.keeps us posted.

I beleive the discussion was had to have a big cowl to clear and the answer is no not if correct mods are done.a stock hood will clear.
