    Thank you guys.  Happy to provide rides to any and all! 

    Pics from last night. Assembled most of the 505 and unpacked the 392. Drew (SleepyChallenger) was a huge help. Dave (73440) picked up the 440 then came back to help stab the 505!














    I am glad I was able to lend a little assistance to your 505 install and see your 392 for the Cuda.
    It was a pleasure meeting everyone.

    This morning I presented the 440 to my 5 year old nephew, asking him what makes a car go ,he said an engine, I said this is your engine, he said this is my engine? Yes I said , his answer was wow thank you.

    Finished swapping my 440 for the 505 stroker. New TTI headers with 3" exhaust, electric fuel pump, and back to a stock radiator with a 7-blade fan and shroud.
