428 race tech ?

By Jim Haas - 04/22/2001 10:15:11 PM; IP 64.12.105.177

I am preparing a 69 428 CJ 4 speed hardtop for Stock Appearing racing. I am somewhat vague on this engine.

1) what are the **BEST** cast exhaust manifolds that will fit a 69 428 Fairlane, even if they came on another chassis ? I hear there are some good flowing *header style* manifolds on other chassis ?
Where can they be found reasonably ?

2) how many cubic inches can I get using a 69-428 block and a stroker thinking idea....?
what crank is the best combo for max cubic inches using a 428 block ?

3) wil stock style, widened, 15x8 Magnum 500 rims fit the rear on a hardtop body, and if so any idea on the wheel backset spacing ?

4) does anybody have any experience with a hydraulic roller cam in an FE engine ?

5) has anybody used Caltrak bars on these cars with success ?

thanx in advance, Jim
