My first racing project
started building the motor from scratch in 2000. pulled out the 2.8L V6 and installed the 377ci around 01/2002. built up the R4 a little bit. was still running a one legger with 2.73 gears. moved from SoCal to upstate NY in summer of 2002, no local tracks were here at the time, didnt really do much with it. 2006 we had a flood here and garage took 3 ft of river water while i was at work. i changed all fluids and yada yada. trans wasnt working right. i pretty much closed the garage and avoided doing anything with it until about a month ago, 04/2010. ive got the itch back to get this thing finished and do some bracket racing. would like to get it street legal again too if i can. closest track now is 45 miles. i used to live within 5 miles of Irwindale and 10 miles of Pomona. [sigh].

nice car! welcome aboard

Nice car man, is the 377 a destroked 400 or a non overbore stroker motor?
|
^ 350 w 4" crank for a 373, and maybe a hone?
I had an 85 and loved it for a first car, but the 2.great had to go. My uncle and I were talking about a light car to start with for a track car, and we settled on a third gen for a paper-build. |
normally it is a 350 crank in a 400. Makes for a very high revving engine
|
from what i understand a 383ci is a .030 over bore 350 with 400 crank, my block was brand new at the time and i didnt want them boring it out so we left it standard bore which i believe makes it a 377ci.
so, i have no over heating problems at all, i can put a ton of miles on it and then bore it out .030 over when the time comes and put another ton of miles on it.... if i dont blow it up before hand. |
That would be a 377 Fo Sho!!! Nice idea. small bore big stroke. STUMP PULLER!!!!
|
Thats what I figured since theres few de stroked 400's... :ninja:
