will you have pics of the oil pan and bottom of cylinders/pan rail clearance???????????I always ran the stock stroke (3.906) crank because of clearance issues altho lots of guys did off set grind the throw to 4.000 stroke---took a little weld on the outside but was doable---------still haddecent rod angle and counter weight/piston skirt clearance---

Good questions Jerry, Ill get pics soon hopefully, better yet I hope to get the engine back soon! Quite frankly, I would be happy with a stock 392, but the builder had the short block out of someones race car, don't know who, hopefully its not a filled block. He knows it will be more a street car so Im sure he wouldn't give me a filled block, but you have valid points on clearance issues, I will look into that...Thanks Jerry

Killer ride, I also flushed my doors, lots of work there, was on a model a . Dig the front wheels, same kind in the near future I want. I reallly like the dodge coupe body.

Thanks PRO53!
