JP> JP> BAHAHAHAHA !!! Poor guy !!! There are support groups. 350 horse JP> 350 in a 63 ?? I remember the 375 horse 327 but not the 350. I traded a broken 51 Triumph 650 MC for a broken 67, 350. All it had was a spun rod bearing. When I opened it up, it had that AND it had already been sleeved in #2. It was only 3 years old. I put a crank kit in it, pulled the cam and put in the 327, 350 hp cam and new lifters and the other stuff in the sprocket and chain catagory. Bought some rebuilt 1.94 double camel hump heads, took em apart and ported the crap out of them. Put a high-rise manifold and Holley 750 double pumper on it. Oh, and I used an old Corvette dual point distributor that I had been dragging around the country for the previous 5 or 6 years. BTW, 67 rod bolts were 5/16, wereas 68 and up are 3/8...I had two rods with 3/8s bolts on the number one/two crank throw, the rest were 5/16s. It must have balanced it out pretty good as it revved quick and sounded real chirpy. And it would rev to 6200 with the hydraulics with out a sweat. After that, I went through the rear end, replaced everything but the housing when I broke it..Put all new joints in the half-shafts and drive shaft. Replaced the 63 4speed with an M21 Muncie. Went through 5 clutch combo's before getting one to last a weekend at the drags... RW>> P.S. No SB Mustang ever beat my Vette...13.1's off the RW>> street. JP> BE the man. It was kewl... ...
