Mike Starling,
The Dart Block I used is a 4.125 bore and 3.25 stroke, for a 347. The J&E pistons give it 12-1 ratio.as an FYI the torque is 435 at 4800RPM.
Now to the question about the G50/52.
I have not put the car on the track yet , just around the neighborhood. (lots of looks from the neighbors), I will find out in a couple of weeks , we have some test time scheduled at a local road track.
The clutch and gear box were prepared by Power Haus II and the guy to talk to is Roger Brown. The clutch is a single disc semi metalic that seem OK now. we also discussed a 2 disc set up , but it will not work for street use only the track. As anote these guys are very good to work with.
The starter came from Kennedy Engineering in California and the nose piece must be modified to fit the frame rail on the DRB GT 40. I did all of the mods on my mill in about 1 hour.
