Hello all. Newbie here, I have been a Mopar guy my whole life (39 Years old) I learned how to drive in my dads 53 Dodge sedan (Red Ram), and how to drive stick in my dads 48 Plymouth Business Coupe. I just bought a 53 Plymouth Suburban for my dad's birthday. We are adding this to our stable of Mopars, a 1950 New Yorker Highlander Coupe (With a 440/518OD/Dana44 drivetrain and a stock exterior) my 52 Willys Wagon (With a hopped up F-head) a 1987 Shelby GLHS, 2005 Neon SRT-4, 99 Ram V10, 98 Wrangler Rock Crawler (Jeeps and Willys are Mopars now right?)
Anyuway on to the questions. We are thinking of hopping up the Ol 217, with a crank and rods from a 230, and I have seen some nice tube headers for the small block 6, who makes them? Does Offy still make the dual intake? How much power can we expect from a "Built" 230? (Aluminum Head, dual Webers, cam, headers, H.E.I.) Thinking about the T5 also, along with Fatman Spindles and disk brakes and a Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) Rear axle (60" wide Aluminum center D44 with disc brakes, internal parking brakes, a 3.73 R&P, limited slip, and a 4 1/2" bolt pattern for 75.00 at the local Pick and pull yard) With the T-5 will the 3.73 gears work well with the 230?
