Wanted to sell / 392 Hemi parts for sale

« on: November 16, 2014, 06:19:12 PM »

For sale. 392 Hemi, engine is apart here is what I have. 1957 392 block, all machine work is done. It is .030 over fresh bore job, decked, 4 bolt main caps with fresh align hone, block is o-ringed, ready to assemble. The block has been filled so it is only good for race or cackle. Velasco crank, used out of a NTF car has been to Crankshaft Specialties and given a clean bill of health. It is has a 4.275 inch stroke. New Venolia rods they are 7.0 inches in length and have the 360 Mopar size wrist pins. The pistons are new Arias pistons with the hard coating and are 11.1 compression. I have new bearings and pistons also. The rod and piston are correct for the stroker crank This combo would be about 440 cu in. Other new parts I have are: Milidon pan part number 31162, Herbert roller lifters, Milidon gear drive, oil pan stud kit, oil pump drive, head studs, front cover and fuel pump drive. I also have a set of bare heads that need worked over and a set of stock rocker arms. I am asking 5600.00 for all of it. I am located near Wichita KS I would rather not have to ship but would consider delivering it for a nominal fee. Might also be able to arrange a ride for it to the March Meet. I am restoring a 1965 Jim Davis FED so I might entertain trades for period correct parts I might be able to use. Contact me at mbuchanan4@cox.net Thank you Mike Buchanan

Getting ready to go to Ardmore OK this weekend for their Hot Rod Reunion, put in the 4:56 gears, valves adjusted, going to fire it up in the morning to check everything over and change the oil. Haven't raced since Bowling Green so I am anxious to make some passes!

Spent a lot of money today, we did sneak off for much warmer Texas this past weekend for the Old School Shootout at the Texas Motorplex. Drew the number 1 qualifier in the first round so he handed me my rear, but we did run a personal best of 7.61 at 174.2 mph. So we did end on a positive note!
