What I have is a 1972 7.0l 425, in pieces. Block, heads, intake, exhaust, tranny, cam, crank, pistons, rods, valves, all that goody internal makeup. What I need is information:

Spec sheet for measurements, (i.e. bore/stroke, clearances, journal measurements, etc.) for the innards.

REASONABLE place to order gasket kits, pistons, rods, rings, performance cam and crank, performance heads, etc.

Any tidbits of wisdom concerning hotrodding a 425, past experiences, suggestions for setups, and output ratios/performance specs.

For the record, the engine/trans came from an old '72 El Dorado, some kid thought it would be fun to rebuild it, and didn't know what he was doing with it. Nothing is labeled as far as journals go, and nothing is separated. I got the block, dip treated, the heads, dip treated and crated, the intake, the tranny (auto), and probably all the other nuts, bolts, and guts to go with it for about $50. I plan on making it performance, IF I can figure everything out, and putting it into what I have available for the time being, a 1974 Dodge Dart Custom. Please, don't laugh.

Any suggestions/pointers/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dodge Dart? You ARE a crazy coyote.
You might find more help in the 500/472/425/368 section.

Thanks, I'll move!
