My new Dodge pickup

Hi all

This is my new ride. It`s a 75 pickup with 76 440, 727 auto & lsd. The motor is stock with a new edelbrock carby & a set of headers. Im looking at getting some more HP out of it with just a change of heads and a cam & maybe a diffrent carb. Im looking at 450 to 500 HP out of it. Can anyone suggest the best parts that will work & to do the job

Cheers E34 Pacer

WOW, that's NICE!

I would look at heads. Find what casting you have. You could pick up a pair of 452 heads and have them worked over. Pick up an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, a 750 CFM carb, MP Purpleshaft 284/484 cam, and tune, tune, tune

Hope this helps...

Very nice!

I second what Chlngr1970 said. That will be a beast with that much HP.

awsome truck! that thing is clean. depending on what you want to spend for heads you should look at the stealth aluminums from 440source only $900 for a pair ready to bolt on.

Yes, people from Queensland Australia. Their southern neighbors from New South Whales, claim that all Queenslanders are employed in giant factories where their only job is to put the bends in bannanas. All in good fun I'm sure

These stealth heads, Has anybody used them or no anyone that has.
The reason im asking is that over here(Australia) I have heard good and bad things about them, The good is they work very well for the money, And the bad is that on some heads the bolt holes don't line up properly. Has anybody heard of this.
