Mike, the direction Garrett is suggesting with EQ Dual style heads is a good suggestion. J heads are are well liked in the SB world, so selling them would be easy to make up some of the cost? Adding a thinner head gasket and/or possibly shaving the EQ's a little would help in this area as...

Decent article: Mopar Performance Purple Shaft Camshaft - Mopar Muscle Magazine

Mike - assumption is your asking what the current engine will handle, meaning J Heads and stock springs? Question, have your heads been re-worked at all?

OK, going by the premise you want to use Eddie heads, 93 octane and the pistons. With the combination you described you should not have any real issues. You can help with the thicker head gaskets to lower it a bit. Just a note, I used 191 pistons with about 11.8 compression and had no...

Couple of thoughts: Right now, I am doing a 70 4 speed Duster with a manual steering column, here is what I did, not sure if this will help you. I bypassed my safety switch by buying a 69/69 4 speed starter relay ($12). Also, I changed from the 70 harness to a 73, has all the electronic...

Moper - That is what I was looking for - THANK YOU

Mike - I see and have a better understanding of what Rumble was saying, thank you. I would thing roller lifter would try harder to push that cam out.

Gentlemen, He was very clear, MP 528 with roller lifters. RR, Rumble and others who posted constructive insight, I agree, I thought it was odd too, I don't necessarily see it not working. Only constructive part I could see is the parasitic drag from the roller part. I could see the...

RR - Worlds full of them. I just found the idea perplexing, you have people shimming oil pumps, putting mechanical on hydraulic, etc... Each to his/her own. The guy I spoke with swears he gets performance out of the rollers, however I am with you guys and I call BS - Was looking for...

Thanks - was reading other threads where BB guys are running roller lifters on mechanicals.

Has anyone used roller lifters on a mechanical cam, if so what are the pro's and cons?

Here is a picture of a shimmed mount.

I too am interested, - keep posting, nice clean build.

Thanks Rob -

OK - Have a 70 Duster with a 73 and up spool mount K Frame with a 360 LA going in. Question is which year do I get headers for 71/72 or 73/75?

Spunk - First, is your timing on? Meaning did you set correctly when you installed the distributor and such? Many articles on this, please check. Second is your firing order correct? If this two are correct we are off to fuel, air, and spark. Hissing sound is probably compression - that's...

Mike - Thank you, very nice to see someone sharing. I enjoy reading on your builds, your post and your thoughts on Mopar builds. If you start doing BBM, I am looking to install a Torker with a .590 purple cam and a 750 proform carb. This is a transition from a small 530 hydraulic roller, M1...

Very nice - Just a point I learned, if you are using head studs make sure your headers clear them. I did two builds where the headers hit the head studs, so had to grind.

Tony - Agree, last time at Fallon DA was 6800 - ouch All, agree heads are the weak point, when this started out I was not looking to build a moderate to high HP motor, just settled that way. DustOff440's link was very useful. Thanks

All - Thank you,

Gentlemen, Thanks - agree the heads are going to hurt, was thinking on some W2's, but not sure I want to go that route at this time. Rusty - yes, concrete is dense and I think you are over-estimating with 6, and I think JW had it right

70 - Was what I was estimating as well Also, Comp Roller rockers as well, 1.5's

Anyone?

OK, was reading the post on the bets for someones 360 on the HP and I did not want to hijack the thread, so here is mine. 1974 360 .60 over Stock crank and rods Keith black 191s Factory 587 head, decked for square, 2.02 and larger exhaust valves, no port work (These are the smog heads with...

I agree with Abody - check fuel pressure/volume. Then timing

Myasylum - I agree with REDFISH, I have installed a balancer bolt which was too long and did not catch it at first. When I did this I used an impact wrench - BIG NO-NO, learned the hard way. Result, needed to re-thread and put in a smaller bolt. Recommendation would be to go to Harbor Freight...

Plato -great post, thank you. I was building and learning with the Megasquirt system for my 451 Challenger. I started with MS II and learned fast. My goal was doing it in pieces, fuel pump first, sensors, ignition, all stuff I could use on EFI and carbureted. I built my manifold and rails, then...

OK the suspense is killing me - IS THIS FIXED? and if so what was the issue? I'm running out of popcorn

OldmanRick - probably going into a 70 Barracuda 4 speed, 355's to 391's Wis - did the entire setup for less than 15 - budget build (heads and all) Cracked - agree, what target range I was looking at too Rumble - No, heads are not ported, budget. When they installed the 2.02 they cut a lot...

Finally had my 360 back from the shop: All the typical machine work, 587 heads with 2.02 valves and KB 191's: Looking at a MP 528 cam, any thoughts
