engines from different eras

Yes, i did read your above post, and yes i do still maintain my opinion that a stock 2 bolt main block will not last to 8 grand, there is just to many parts that are to weak and that will break, that is just way to much reciprocating mass for the stock rods and crank not to mention main caps and bearings to hold on to. Now if you would like to prove me completely wrong take a video of you revving your dodge dart to 8 grand. Then i will give it to mopar.

I had heard that there was another Mr P Body over here and wanted
to see what he was running?
I'm new to this forum so I will tell you real quick what I run. Its a 88
Plymouth Sundance with a full tube / moly chassis, I used to have a
340 in it but bumped it up to 395 ci, W-2 ported heads, roller cam and
rockers, with basicly a low 10.5:1 compression, the last couple of years
I have been running 9.47 @ 142 with 1.25 60 ft
Thanks guys

No, no joke, I am not normally on this board but I heard of another
P body and came in to talk with him. I can say that I have had the
name on the side of my car for 8 years now and never heard of any
other till now
Have a good holiday

You that guy with that blue Shadow? I saw one on Moparts...

[MR P BODY]

Yes thats me

[BleedDodge]

Ah, Sundance. Sorry about that. I like the idea.

I thought maybe you were some guy that just made a name like this to mimic the other pbody guy, or something...

Cool...

Hey, the new mr.pbody. Nice et's by the way. 9's are very hard to pull off. I was wondering if you had any pictures of your car, i would like to see it.

[BleedDodge]

It catwalks, it's cool.

Well johnboy? MR P BODY does it and he is not alone.

[jonnyboy9012]

Yes, he does it. But as we all know that this is a discussion about a 2 bolt main spinning 8000 rpms. Mr P Body, is your engine a 2 bolt main or a 4 bolt main?. If he says 2 bolt then there you have it, if he says 4 bolt you counted your eggs before they hatched.

Well it is a 2 bolt main among other Mopars at moparts.com. Check out the thread "RPMs and 4 Bolt Mains" from yesterday. Heres a reply from CruisingRam and i quote " I have spun my SB mopars to 8k with no problems hundreds of times with 2 bolt mains and forged crank-You have to tell your chebby guys that SB mopar bottom ends and valve train are WAY stronger than stock chebby pieces-SB chebby is not even in the same category. I used to race SB chebby's-and I discovered that they were actually more expensive than mopars when it came to holding together-sure you could find cheap parts for them, but having to buy those parts over and over again when they grenaded made the chebby more expensive. You dont need 4 bolt mains(for the most part) or stud girdles(like a chebby) to make a mopar race motor hold together".........end of quote......need more?

I can post a pic IF someone can give me a quick leason on how to post
in here, I dont see a place for posting a pic

To the other post pertaining to a 2 or 4 bolt block its a 2 bolt, but I
do have other engines (blocks) with 4 bolt mains
1 engine I have is a 340 base 395ci with W-5 heads
1 engine I have is a 340 base 405ci with W-9 heads
both of these are 4 bolt blocks

[jonnyboy9012]

No i dont need any more, thanks for all of the information you have given me and the new knowledge that you have bestowed upon me. I will take P bodys and your word that you can spin a mopar to 8 grand without it letting loose, but that is to big of a gamble for me (even if i was in a mopar) for me to take. Well, it was a good debate and maybe there will be another some time. Best of luck with the mopars.

At least its not about rice, I saw a Yenko 427 Nova at Mission raceway last summer. Grenaded in the first round. I got schooled long ago about mopars and fell in luv with them but to each his own.
