any suggestions
i recently sold . in the middle of a frame off project an 502 cubic inch 81 malibu. my weaknes for mopar just got the best of me. i have been looking at a lot of 383 but im more interested in 440mag....440 6 pack...i have considered 426 . i consider the 426 the best engine ever put out. although you need a sizeable bank account to keep one of these fussy engines in tune. also a 440-6 will hook in almost if not as fast as a 426 till about 60-70 after that the 440 is toast. anybody out there that can provide me with any experiene with these motors........also the 383. for street..no strip.....thanks

Re: any suggestions
440 Magnum. Best of the three for a street car. Hemi cars don't hook up without BIG slicks. Too much power. A hemi only understands one throttle position, WIDE OPEN...
6-Pack engines have heavier rods in them, and are a bitch to keep the carbs in sync. The Magnum didn't have rod problems, so the 6-Pack rods are massive overkill. Forget the 383. Never send a boy to do a man's job! My 400 Ram Air GTO never got beat by a 383, nore a 6-Pack. I got embarrassed pretty good one night by a '69 GTX with a Magnum in it. |
