Re: 65-85 under.
My combo is rated from the factory at 365.
I would be in favor of treating my 365 factor the same as this one: Mopar 426 365 291 295 1964 |

Re: 65-85 under.
Would you then be in favor of running a manifold from an Olds that came on late 50s engines along with an AFB that flows 575 cfm in place of your QJ that flows 800 cfm. Would you give up the valve to piston clearance and long stroke that allows you so much more cam than the 426 SW can run.

For what it's worth, I have a '65 Coronet 426 SW car, and have had no issue finding those intakes or heads that they were originally equipped with. |

Re: 65-85 under.
The Mopar's have always been at a disadvantage. We are stuck running 50 and 60 year old intakes. They make aftermarket heads but good luck getting them. Very little to no aftermarket blocks or cranks.
I guess we'll struggle through..... |

Re: 65-85 under.
Easy there Billy man, I'm just rattling your chain.
But you have to be honest, the Mopar folks have the least amount of parts to choose from. When you go faster than 75 mph, it takes some good parts and pieces. Have fun and may the force be with you. |
