very mild 360 build.

Thanks Joe. That Hughes cam will work very well with the intended purpose of the build and those gears. I have used a very similar Crane cam in the past w/3.23’s and stock tires. The Crane was a 272/284-216/228-.454/.480-112, trans was a standard 904 w/a stock converter. This can propel your Dart into the 14’s, o problem. In my Duster, w/stock sized tires, traction @ Atco was limited. It produced power to 5500 rpm. You could feel it giving up afterwards.

I ran it in a 318 Duster last time I used it and a terrible low 15 was all I could muster though through the traps I managed 101 mph.

Roger on the pistons!
