I called twin cities this am 68. They sound knowledgeable. $250 to $275 to fit the new caps in the registers,line bore and hone. Now im thinking if I use the 400 block I have I can build a much stronger engine. I ordered the billet steel caps from 440 source this am so all I need now is a body. I want 600 hp. Pump gas.Now that shouldnt be too hard to do along with over 600 ft.Lbs.of torque at 3500 rpm. Everytime I build a racecar I sell it for a loss so im gonna build a badboy for the street.Hey,if it puts out over 700hp on pump gas I would be quite happy. I thank those who responded to this thread. Whens mopars vs. the world at Bristol 68??
