It´s a -71. The engine is a 340 from -68.

Thanks! Its a GM 4L80E trans.

@@sjowe it looks smooth!

Trevor Perea In this video I believe it's just a four inch pipe that exits under the car with no muffler.

DobermansRock Yes the 340 can take a decent amount of abuse before it gives in. It's a fun little motor!

They are rare in the US or at least seemed like it before Ebay. I can't imagine how much it had to cost for you. When I lived in Germany I did not see many American muscle cars. The ones I did seemed to get a lot of attention from the Germans. I can't believe I found a 383 B for $100. It is a 69 block with 906 heads. Something I can tuck away for a rainy day. I can sell the old cast iron water pump and housing for what I spent on the engine. Some people want everything original. Me original means block, heads, crank and what I dream up for the rest as my combination. I spent my free time in Iraq reading a V-twin engine builders manual. Then I put together a recipe for a very sound engine. Long distance reliability, can run pump gas and if I want to race. Then its just tires and fuel to change. Before my crash my Harley was giving the rockets a hard time.Post more videos. I would love to see up close video of your build and what ideas you came up with.

Another thing that has taken many years is finding that magic combination. Bore to stroke or stroke to bore have been played with for a long time. Today the numbers are in and we can purpose build a reliable V-8 for a direct application. What does what for what. One of the best examples I can think of in the engine world of V-8's. That shows how much bore and stroke have to do with each other is the Chevy 383 stroker. Why put a 400 crank in a 350? Why not just use the 400? Because the 400 does not have a good bore/stroke ratio.

DobermansRock I just filmed the test with this pump. The stock pump was tested off camera.

Ok I was a little lost. I just got a 383B and want to ditch the cast iron off the front. I have built LA engines but this 383 is my first B. So as with any engine. Research must be done.

DobermansRock Ah I see! I haven't used the PRW pump for more than a year so I don't know how it will last in the long run. But the performance is really good!

I love engine building Just wish my money matched my addiction. I dig your set up for the test its cool when people think outside the box. If I learned anything working on Blackhawks it was learning new angles to get the best result fastest.Never trust a mechanic who only has one brand of tools in his box.

mopartron3030 It is a piston type blow-off valve from Pure Performance Factory here in Sweden.

Very cool thanks for the quick reply, I found their website. I am planning a turbo 318 build and definitely want to use this type of blow-off valve I think it sounds MUCH nicer than the usual "choo-choo-choo-choo" style haha

mopartron3030 Good for you! Yes, I am using the older one. PPF has a new type that should be even better. Good luck with your build! Don't forget to post a UA-cam video when it's done.

I bought a stock intercooler and modified it to fit my car. I have made the headers myself. Nice with a boosted Dart! I have a link in one of my other videos to a build-thread about this car.

Not in the video, which was my first setup, but I use one now.

I run forged rods and pistons with the stock forged crank and everything is balanced. The block is completely stock. I think these blocks can withstand more than jus t 500 hp. Yes it's really nice to have 98 octane at every pump here in Sweden. Go turbo, you won't regret it!

the mopar blocks are pretty tough. main studs/billet main caps and a girdle can probably take you to 700 hp.

+Marcos Dodge If you mean the size of the turbo, mine is 66 mm in and 82mm out. A HX40 seems a bit small for your engine, go for a HX45/HX50 if you can. I´m sure the rest of the setup will work just fine.

+Marcos Dodge Nope. It´s a 340, in this video I was still using the X-heads with copper gaskets. It was about 8,5:1. Yes, 98 octane pumpgas. It hasn´t been to the dyno yet, but I would guess around 500-ish.

I´ve made it myself.

8 3/4" rear end with Richmond spool and 3,23:1 gear ratio. I believe the converter is stock that came along with the 727 gearbox. It would need a new transmission and converter though, this one is kind of thrashed..

I let off at ~6500 rpm, it would probably take more but I don´t want to push things. It has not been on the dyno yet, but I would guess about +500 hp with 1 bar of boost.

SirSlaughter357 Thanks! Yes, thats correct. The red light is´nt wired yet, but it´s supposed to warn if the oilpressure drops to unhealthy levels..

What?

What?
