While no one asked me - I think it is perfectly fine to want 500+ horsepower even if you don't have anyone to race! In my experience, I tend to enjoy my car the most doing stupid (fun) stuff by myself. I think once he gets it and drives is some, he is going to be very happy with the seat of the pants feel. As time goes by, and he feels the need for MORE speed - there is plenty of room to get some more without redoing everything.

Anyway thank you all for the help, the one big thing i miss not being in the states is the cars and the easy access to parts. Take care all, when i get the car tomorrow i will try to posts some pictures in a day or 2.

I'm thinking you need to start a thread in our Projects section for each car, so we can follow along.

Yeah, i will do that for the dart since it hasn't had anything done to it yet. The Coronet is done. I have another 440 block was going to try to get 600 hp and 600 LBS of Trq can some help me the best way to build it and be strong but save some cash. I though about going to 440 source getting a 500 to 512 cubic inch stroker kit, what do you think ? Take care all and thank you

I was kinda joking people, as i said in my OP i live in the Philippines so where can i get a LS engine ? Importing a complete Engine is way to expensive as you will pay 30 to 40 percent of its cost in duty taxes. There are a few LS engines here but most of the time the owners won't sell them and if they do you will pay out the nose.
No i'm building the 440, or possibly buying a new block from that company called THE BLOCK, either way it will be a MOPAR MOTOR.
I guess i should of used sarcasm font. So instead i erased it.Last edited by Philippines Mopar Guy; July 13, 2018, 06:08 PM.
