Nice work Dave, is this car that got the tti headers, if so how did they fit?

Also, can you give me an idea about the motor build, I know it is a 472ci but which block and heads did he use and all the other paticulars with it. I have a block and the heads already but I am hearing that the Aluminum heads I bought with the valves and springs assembled are not that good. They use the 3690933 (single spring w/damper) lift range .440"/.500" and the diameters of the stems are smaller, I have been told to change the valves and put double springs in....
Which stroker kit did he put in it?
My block is the finish bore 4.250 block that Mopar sells and I hear the bores are not right, did he have the same block or did he bore it to a finish size?
I see you said A/C, was this an A/C car or did he put in a kit, mine is an A/C car and I want to have A/C with the Hemi here in AZ.....
I hate asking all these questions but I am unsure if you did the specking of all the Hemi pieces or he did it!


thanks again,

Nick

thanks Nick, yep this is Kevins and his Dads Cuda, The headers fit great. As for the engine. it was a 472 crate engine assembly I had in stock from New world. I can get you the specs if you'd like them. This was originally an AC car so we put the ac cowl back in and the vintage air kit fits pretty good. I disagree with the hose plate being on the engine side so we moved it inside for a better visual and sealing ability. Also has a rack system with the hydro boost on as well. that was fun to run those lines. Hope your recovery is going well. take care

thanks for the reply back so quick, Yes I would like to hear about the specs, can you email them to nicksclassicparts@cox.net


Yes recovery is going well, 4 weeks so far and 3 more to go before I come out of this traction device and be able to sleep once again flat on my back and not sleeping sitting up... 

thanks again Dave,
