FINALLY! DD2K is a toy. Real engine analyzing software is significantly more than $30 and almost impossible for a non-professional to use.

New pumps for the 300 are very inexpensive, just paid about $35 for mine.

As far as coolant additives, "Water Wetter", "40 below" and similar chemicals do indeed work. My old Mercedes runs HOT by nature, and dumping in the correct ammount of -40 dropped the idling temp by a good 20 degrees. Have some friends in the rice racer world who do insane turbo jobs on their tiny engines, and they'll often use it because where the heck are you going to put a larger radiator in a civic??
Thanks for that info, on both counts. I will definantly check it out. All of you nay sayers, I am serious, go post in Ford VS the competition or something. All you are doing here is taking up more valuable space with your BS remarks.
oh, p.s. The DT466 is an International engine, not a CAT engine.

Rot,
You are correct. my mistake.

I will leave you alone on this one. I personally dont care if you go as cheap as do a Marvel Mystery Oil fix or do a full out competition build. Im not spending the money and noone else here is either. All I can say is spend YOUR money wisely and the best of luck to you. I sincerely hope you can make the power you want out of the motor you have. I just dont want you to fall into the same trap as I have in the past and many others do daily of believing the advertised hp and tq gains of aftermarket parts. The real numbers, the ones that matter, come from a rear wheel dyno not from the crank. You lose 20%, at least, through the drive line. So that being said, you 500tq will be more like 400tq at the rear wheels if not less. "IF" you do build this engine and it makes the power you claim please have it blueprinted and Im sure you will make some money back selling the plans on this site. Good luck and Im sorry again for the negativeness.

Broke, you could always get one of those rechargable MasterCard deals from CVS, You can't over draw, and its only a few bucks to put money on it.
I want ya'll to understand I'm not trying to be a jerk when I tell you to fark off, I am look'n for info on parts, so I can make a parts list, and start accumulating parts so I can assemble said parts in and on an engine block. I do appriciate concerns, but alot of this stuff you are saying is either very negative, or reads that way.
Does anybody know of an oil pan with a windage tray for the 300? I thought I read somewhere that Milodon makes one. I know they make the HV oil pump.

FWIW, a thin gauge piece of steel formed to shape and lightly tackwelded into the pan several times could do the trick if you can't find one aftermarket.

I did the standard upgrades, offy intake, holley 4160 (390cfm), hedman header, and duraspark II ignition. My exhaust is 2.5 inch pipe two into one just past the tranny crossmember, single 40 series flowmaster and it ends just after it comes down over the axle. It has 18s and 20s with a 3.08 gear and the np435, rear tire height is 30.5 inches. It makes between 135hp (street tune) and 180hp ( lots of carb tuning and it was just a good day) measured with a g-tech performance meter. It pulls harder and harder the more rpms it climbs. The highest rpm I have taken it to is 5000 (yes I have a tach, I'm not guessing) and it never "ran out of breath". I once passed one of my buddies who said he was doing 125, in his audi a4 1.8t, I went by him like he was sitting still. The acceleration is 7.0 to sixty and the quarter in 17.4 seconds. My point is this rot how much power do you really need? I know my acceleration is sucky because my effective gear ratio is something like 2.85 but its a truck.


On the other hand the power that you are wanting is possible naturally aspirated. There used to be a guy running around ozark AR who could pull the front wheels about 6 inches off the ground with his 300. I have since talked to people who knew him, all they could tell me was it had "chevy rods, a 750 cfm holley, and crane rockers". It was naturally aspirated though and one guy who went to school with him told me it dynoed about 550hp

wow that 0-60 is very impressive, and I am jeleous, given that I do it in about 11.5. I might be converting to carb . I am about to have to tear something down though, got a weird ticking noise somewhere in the drivetrain (but non motor) that I cant figure out, so I am going to get one of the other mechanics at work to give it a shot.
