[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3137262, member: 15054"] The ram was on the 1947 Dodge with the 11.2 compression 385" stroker then that died to rusty cylinder wall that gave way. Then I built a 327" and put it in the Dodge and used the ram and it was a 9.3:1 compression PUTZ . Less than 100 miles on it and I parked it I drove from yukon to mustand then midwest city and back to mustang then back home to yukon and parked it and pulled it out. The Ram is on the floor under the PAC valve spring box with carbs still on it. The 327" is on the floor also. Now I know why years ago I built them for buddies and they launched at 4000 rpm. Not a good tow engine like that, 4000-7500 rpm The 47 dodge now has Vortec heads 906 castings that I ported.. the tunnel-ram does not fit that bolt pattern. But only 7HP difference between the 280H flat tappet with small valve ported 305 heads on the 385" vs the 357" vortec headed engine with dual plane single 4 intake. Butt the 357" does have a roller cam with slightly more lift. The 357" is down about 30 lb of TQ vs the 385". Much easier to make hook up than the 385" I will build another stroker as I have many more parts and the Ram will be feeding it and going for broke on the cam next round. Should be over 500HP at the crank instead of this stuff in the low to mid 400HP area. That will be a weekend engine not a pull my boat to the lake deal. MPG should be horrible. I have 2 sheds and 1/2 my garage full of parts I can't seem to live without. A sickness for sure. [/QUOTE]
