one more question is this the stock bore and stroke? and im guessing the valvetrain has been completely redone

[ssgtdiggler]

@oohmammaoohmamma Stock bore and stroke. Only upgrade to valvetrain was the springs that Hughes Engines recommended for the Whiplash cam.

Whys she burning so much oil?

[ssgtdiggler]

@backwoodsctryboy It was just running rich that day, as it was still in the tuning phase. After finding the right jetting, it runs great, and doesn't smoke at all.

@dval426 I wasn't the one you were talking to, but maybe I can help. I'm currently putting together a mopar 400 big block, and I have the stock rods / crank with Keith Black pistons (they're not that expensive). I tore the stock heads down (not 452 heads, the other ones, 9-somethings?) but i'm really considering going with edelbrocks instead. I feel that the heads are the most important in terms of how much fuel you can flow, how big of a carb you can use, etc. Not sure what cam i'm going with.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR RODS, PISTONS, CARB, AND INTAKE? I'VE BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT ADVICE ON THE X-HEADS. SOME SAY TRASH THEM AND GO WITH EDELBROCKS. OTHERS SAY TO KEEP THEM AND HAVE THEM REBUILT. ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CAR TO RUN AND SOUND LIKE YOURS. MY BUDGET FOR THE ENGINE IS AROUND$2500.00 THIS IS MY FIRST PROJECT MOPAR, SO ANY ADVICE OR DIRECTION WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED. THANKS

[dval426]

DAMN!!!! THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! HEY, CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVISE? I JUST PICKED UP A PROJECT '68 CUDA WITH A BONE STOCK 340, UNMOLESTED X-HEADS, AND 4 SPEED TRANNY. THE ENGINE RAN WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I RECENTLY PULLED THE ENGINE OUT AND TORE IT APART TO DO A FRESH REBUILD. ITS AT THE MACHINE SHOP NOW GETTING HOT TANKED AND MEASURED. I WANT TO KEEP MY STOCK CRANK, AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY X-HEADS. AFTER SEEING YOUR VIDEO, I WANT TO GO WITH A WHIPLASH CAM. CONT.....

Ohh..yahhh..its like music in my ears..The sound of Mopar Muscle..:)

@oohmammaoohmamma No hollow sound at all from the 3". Most of the time, the hollow sound you speak of comes from people running Flowmasters or similar knock offs like in this video. I didn't like these mufflers and only had them on for a week before switching to the Dynomax Ultraflos in my other videos of the car. I couldn't be happier with my exhaust setup. Always get compliments at car show. No drone at cruising speeds, and really comes alive without hurting your ears when I get into it.

@ssgtdiggler i was thinking of going 3'' pipe for my 360 but i was afraid it would sound "hollow" how does it sound up close?
