RE: 428 build up
By Kevin66 - 04/18/2002 6:22:07 AM; IP 207.102.191.58
Years ago I ran a 4.30 28-spline Detroit Locker behind a 428CJ. It was in a '69 Cyclone CJ, equipped with the Hooker 1-3/4" headers, Edelbrock F427, and that same C8AX-C cam. It had a C-6 with the stock (BIG!) converter, and ran well into the 12's. Never had any differential or axle problems.

As for the small-input T&C, I'd be more inclined to want the big shafts there. Of course, they're harder to find and cost more...not to mention most of the ones available have been beaten on pretty hard.

Those blueprinted oil pumps are pretty nice, and worth the money. They give 70-80 psi, which is plenty. For an oil pan, I'd stick with a stock 6-quart style, with the windage tray. That's plenty of oil, even for strip use 'on occasion', and it's nice to have proper ground clearance. You can get a really nice, powder coated inside-and-out pan for about $65 from Flatlander Racing, 24 Elm Street , Plaistow, NH 03865. They list them on eBay (Search for seller e-mail motorpts4u@aol.com)

Since that C8AX-C makes its power around 6,000 RPM, you won't be needing much more than stock valve spring pressures. You can buy a set of the good rocker shafts from FPP or Summitt, and just use your stock stands, rockers, etc. without further worry.
This thread, so far...
