I’ve always liked Comp for value, quality, and good lobe catalogs. That being said I’d suggest you start a relationship with whomever will be porting the heads and have them spec you a cam too. They may have a favorite, or proven combo, and/or have better access to them. Cam cores are hard to...

Yeah- then have the heads ported, the lifter bores bushed, and run a solid roller around 265@.050 and close to .600 lift and you’ll be fine.

Then thinking about the heads isn’t really helping. Ported RPMs (as Pittsburg said) will get you there - provided the cam is able to take advantage of the port. W2s/W5s/Indys also ported, will work too. W2 stuff is all unique so you have to buy head assemblies, rockers, intake, and headers to...

What size camshaft?

Thanks- yeah life is funny sometimes and every morning you wake up is a gift many won’t get. I had a Pancreatic cancer diagnosis early last year. So out on disability, surgeries and chemo/radiation most of the rest of ‘22. So far I’ve beat the odds with no plan to change that but the Man...

Thanks for the thought Kim, but I had some health issues last year and as a result I don’t do much side work anymore and I’m not taking on any new customers.

I have one.. I cut one up when I was building my run stand but just went with bellhousings and a flywheel. I’ll look for it tomorrow.

You can do that with any of them. But, you are rolling the dice that they will work as advertised. If you’re spending $1000+ just for the heads To get the benefits, another $3-400 to have them checked and corrected will ensure you get them. You don’t have to. But there’s risk taken on with not...

Way oversimplified, but if the goal is power, and you are talking Mopar small block head choices, put the biggest port volume on it you can and cam it properly for your goal. There’s some subtleties to that but it’s a solid rule to go by if you done need to sweat initial investment and have a...

Have a used LH exhaust manifold gasket from the ‘64-‘65 273. Grungy but not rusty. Some erosion near the ports but should clean up and seal fine. Located in eastern CT 06237. Asking $100 plus the ride.

Floor hump for 4sp in the early As. It’s in ok shape with some rust on the area that contacts the drivers floor so that would need to be fabricated. Otherwise very solid. Located in eastern CT 06237. Asking $140 plus the ride.

Shifter bezel and boot for the 64-5 early As. In decent shape for a driver or good candidate for restoration and rechroming. Includes the shifter boot with some damage at the handle area and what’s left of the lower seal. Located in eastern CT, 06237. Asking $250 plus the ride.

Bump

You have to turn the crank while running the oil pump during priming. Each side only has a few crankshaft degrees where oil will pass up to each shaft. No turn the crank, very little chance the rockers will get oil.

If you need examples do more research. Your on the right track but there’s a lot more to it. My take on you post was that there is no downside to an intake valve back cut and you did not note any of the possible other issues in your initial post. My point was to note the potential down side...

Thanks for the clarifications.

Darin’s right but you have to remember the glow goes both ways, especially at low (relative) engine speeds. So reversion can become an issue if the cylinder pressure is still high when the intake valve opens during overlap. The cylinder needs intake charge. Not something diluted with residual...

No. V8. Sorry… I’ll edit the post for that.

The bone stock factory 5.9l Magnum swapped to a 4bbl and headers was the actual MP 300hp crate engine. Get one of those and bolt it in. Tuning is the key to mileage and in my opinion very few can do it well anymore so maybe a self learning efi for it would help.

Bought by mistake. CA rust free sheet metal. No issues with it. Located in Columbia CT, 06237. Asking $150 or make an offer. Will not ship but can meet or deliver within 200 miles of my location for gas and cheeseburger money.

‘65 vintage V8 904A transmission with the cables, shield, and convertor. Not sure of condition so selling as a core. Will fit any early A with cable shift and the bolt on trunion driveshaft. Located in Eastern CT. Will not ship but willing to meet or deliver within 200 miles of my location for...

Sent Pm. If he’s not interested I’ll take it. I’m in CT.

I’d use the cast crank, use a lighter piston like a hyper rite tic, and internally balance it. The balance job will be more because you need to put heavy metal (Mallory) into in. But the cast is plenty strong and then you can run the neutral balancers, flex plates, and converters. I’ve got a ‘78...

I’ve had a turbo Daytona and turbo 600 convertible… I’ve always wanted an Omni GHLS.

1970 340 std bore block for sale. The stampings on the drivers side near the head surface are rusted and illegible. VIN stamp is 0R343407, and I was told based on that stamp that this was originally installed in a ‘70 Swinger. Block was cast in March ‘70. Block was cleaned and magged but has...

Selling a 1975 440 bare block. This is one I had started to work with for my own build but then was unable to continue. It’s std bore but will need to be cleaned again (surface rust) and boring. Was previously cleaned, magged, and sonic tested. Last picture shows what 220 Emory cloth will do on...

Cast crank for Mopar LA 318 engine. Bought it by mistake, correct for an ‘85 truck but I think any cast crank 318 could use it. Mains and rods .030/.030. Service replacement unit with matched AutoTek main bearing set. $100 obo. Will not ship but may meet buyer within 100 miles of 06237 for extra...

I’d give it a Comet wash being careful around the lettering. Then clear it or rub it fown with linseed oil.. I love that patina.

Bump- $200 omo

So I was in another shelf of early a stuff and found this… I owned (2) ‘65 barracudas. One is a slant car, one was a 273 with power steering and dealer added AC. This pulley is cast iron, not formed steel. I thought it was used in addition to the single groove stamped steel pulley. That’s how I...
