Glad you got it figured out! Hope you get it all fixed, and can enjoy driving it soon!

Does any one know the caster and camber settings for a Dropmember at ride height?

The suspension gurus say 0 caster and any where from 3 to 7 camber for cornering depending on what your using it for...daily driving 3 to 5 If I remember the numbers correctly....

**lolife99** · 06-24-2013, 02:29 PM

You might post up in the engine/drivetrain area,...

**DURG** · 06-24-2013, 02:53 PM

5th is overdrive and 6th is a DEEP overdrive in that tranny correct? Seems to me you are over cammed. Looks like the RPM range for that cam STARTS at 2500 RPM and tops out at 6400. 2500 RPMS in that tranny in 5th gear is going how fast? I have a 383 stroker in my Impala with a 670 cfm carb and a more moderate cam that starts around 1500 RPM's. It only dynos at 394 H.P. but makes 454 ft. lbs of torque. For ****s and grins bring it up to about 4500 RPM in 4th and shift into 5th and see if it will pull then. I just think it is set up for too high of an RPM range. Also, what is the carb? Is the timing right?

kart34 · 06-24-2013, 02:59 PM

We have the Street Demon ( new style by Holley) combo carb/ looks like a Edelbrock / quadrajet deal.. 625 cfm.. We will check the timing ....

Also posted this up on Engine /driveline forum.. thanks..

4 th gear it pulls great... runs best in 4th gear.. maybe just yang it out Blueprint 383 stroker 420 hp is what I need...

jhrusk · 06-24-2013, 03:33 PM

sounds like it may not have enough gear and a little too much cam for the 327, a 383 or 400 with a little less cam or more gear might help, something with lower end torque. Just my opinion.

kart34 · 06-24-2013, 03:35 PM

Yes... looks like a cam and gear swap..

That camshaft with the little cubes makes it for higher RPM then advertised. Smaller cam, and more gear with that size rear tire. @ 1800RPM in 6th gear you doing 82mph that is not enough RPM for that motor. 4th gear 2500RPM you are doing 57MPH. You need to switch your rear gear to 4.88 min. or change the tire height.

creep · 06-24-2013, 08:01 PM

Hope you get everything sorted out. After the way my summer has started I really NEED to see your truck in Columbus.

jimmydean · 06-26-2013, 03:52 PM

If 457 torque won't scoot, I don't know what will. I guess you could always just drop in an LS9.

kart34 · 06-26-2013, 08:45 PM

Pretty happy... gotta 383 stroker today from Speedway Motors,built by Blueprint Engines, fresh build 5/22/2013 hp was better than thought 442hp @5600 rpm 445.1 on torque @ 4400 rpm alum. headed straight plugs also... so.. hopefully no exhaust issues, I got a set of Hedman block huggers on it now all ceramic coated... I hope the install goes well.... Roger Burman is painting the short block tonite.. Great crew down there..thank you Lakeside Rods and Rides.. I will have Tiffany post up some pics.soon...

Alvin · 06-28-2013, 09:07 AM

That 383 oughta be sweet!

Are you still running the eBay mustang mufflers? If so, are you happy with them? I'm going to be taking mine to the exhaust shop next week.. finally!

kart34 · 06-28-2013, 09:55 PM

Alvin, Yes still running the mustang mufflers...

kart34 · 06-30-2013, 09:02 AM

Well, We ran into a little problem.. 327 flywheel not campatable to 383 stroker... gotta order a complete flywheel / clutch combo early Monday AM.. any suggestions who I should call ? Bowler ? I got a 1997 T-56 tranny

**DURG** · 06-30-2013, 01:12 PM

Is your 383 running a 400 type externally balanced crank? Mine had an aftermarket stroker crank and was internally balanced so a regular small block flywheel fit. Why wont the 327 wheel work specifically?

creep · 06-30-2013, 06:28 PM

If I remember correctly my 383 needed a 400 balancer and flexplate.

kart34 · 07-03-2013, 11:16 AM

this is no good. ideas ?

**DURG** · 07-03-2013, 11:35 AM

Your motor appears to be moved forward compared to mine quite a bit too. Have you called Nate?

We text back and forth a few times last night. My recommendation was to go to a shallow pan like the 327 had.

hotrod1 · 07-03-2013, 01:06 PM

Did u use regular rivets to hold all this cool fab work together? Are those tweeter speakers in the door panels? Can u show a close up of those and how you did it?
