My 67RS is in my friends shop..we're doing cosmetic changes..whls;tires;etc;etc and removing the engine to paint..The guy down the street (another shop..this street's full of'em) has a 400ci dyno'ed @500hp..I "think" I want this..I would appreciate yall's opinions..Thanks

 

Since when is bigger not better when it comes to cubic inches and h.p.?
Make sure it's a streetable engine that will run on pump gas.

 

yea again what he said lol

 

..so it's actually a 406ci bored.030..pump gas..this prolly doesnt impress most of yall..but I aint never went this far..I'm excited

 

thats the hole point

 

Is your existing engine matching numbers to the car? If it is, stash it away for safe keeping (and the car's value) if you go the 406 route.

 

..I'd like yall's opinion on some things my guy that's puttin this in is saying..(long time family friend)..saying my 700r4 and original diff. will be fine but will have to change the torque converter..I want to enjoy cruising around the neighborhood but be able to "cruise" at 80 on the xpressways..I know nothing about "stall"..he's suggesting a TC with 3500rpm stall???

 

What cam is in the 406 and what is the compression. If its a big cam and high compression then you will need more converter.

 

I will ck it out Yav..thanks

 

Be sure to get the specs of the engine as suggested.
Good owners have the camshaft card and tells alot, also, the balance card.
Only problem with a high stall convertor and an OD trans is the conv never locks up because the t/conv is still loose and overheats the ATF. You will have to install the largest oil cooler between the rad cooler and trans, a must just for a 'loose'/high stall t/conv.
