Small block mopar, powerglide (1.80), 4.10 rear and 29.5 tires. weighs 4400 pounds. Shooting for about 700 HP.

Oil cooler has been suggested but not sure where it would physically fit. The blower, radiator, and intercooler are pretty well tetris'd in there with a 12-rib blower belt going forward, and going backwards the exhaust Y pipe goes behind the filter. I'd have to go under the engine, along the driver side header, past the flexplate, until I got to a clear spot on the driver side frame rail.

CR is about 10.0:1.

9.575 deck, 2" crank swing, 6.123 rods, 1.460 pistons, -20cc dish. Pistons are .008 out of the hole. 50 MLS gasket, 63cc chambers.

I've been suggested to drill and tap the rear manifold vents to make a cross-over and run it to the thermostat housing. May not help cooling, but could help with bleeding air out and preventing steam holes.
