Trying to handle that sounds like Wild Willie Borsch and his one-armed approach with the legendary AA/FA roadster years ago. So go for it already!

SS 1514

I know of two that were competitive!! Markusic & Huntsinger from Columbus, Ohio took the hemi out of their 67 Super Stocker and put it in an AMX. Also Ray Snowden of Ashland, Kentucky. Both were in the mid 70's.

What would be the weight distribution on that combo......90% front/10% rear?

Excellent point, but I would think that all else being equal, heads would favor "seeing" the 383 based on feeding less displacement. Unless there is some recent acceptance of currently available and/or Mopar Perf heads, the 62 is allowed to use the closed-chamber 915 heads as found on the 67 GTX.

I think the key would be getting the NHRA to ok an aluminum head like the 440 source head but with the correct valve size.

Even better, the 413/420 combo. I would love see either of these combo's in use. My question is do you have to run the tall deck block used for the early 383's or can you use the short deck. It would seem that the 4.25x3.38 bore stroke combo would be better for making power versus the early bore stroke combo(but I'm not an engine builder). Either way I would love to see either combo in use.

Fred Englheart built one of those many years ago but never had time to sort it out but it looked promising...drawback, the 426 max wedge's factored down to the same HP as the 413.
