Motor Update, DDyno Request

Well, the latest is that I will be out $1933.31 for my short block. If you include the oil pan I bought, I am at about $2075 for a pan to lifter rebuild.
I'm looking at a .010 crank grind, sized and cleaned rods, ARP hardware for the lower half, HV oil pump, Crane 343941 ( A decision made without my input, but probably for the best), Federal Mogul Forged pistons @ ~9.2:1, and whatever lifters came in the kit. I believe it has been bored .030.

Anyway, if anyone has some free time and DD, would you mind plugging in my numbers? (Not sure what exactly you need).

390 @ .030
Crane 343941
9.2:1 Comp.
Edelbrock heads
Performer Manifold
Edel 600 cfm

And one final question - Anyone know the the Milodon deep front sump oil pan will fit a 1973 2wd?

Thanks for the heads-up!

Hooker Headers
2.5" Duals
Stock points (until I get the cash for a DUI)

I would go a little bigger on the carb myself. 650 min and 750 max.

When money becomes more readily available, (I am having some issues with my current job - jerks ), I have every intention of upping to an Edel. 750 or even a Holley Street Avenger, as well as the RPM manifold just for giggles.

Considering that DD seems to be pretty optimistic, that still isn't too shabby. Any recommendations on things I might change that would improve the HP or Torque? If an 801 would give me significant gains, I'll snag "my" 941 from the machinist and sell it/replace it.

Thanks again, I appreciate you running my numbers. I may not have the motor, but I do have the grin. =)
