Does anyone have any experience with this cam in a 340 stroked to a 416? Thanks Darren

O.k., yeah, another snag. I just switched over from an Eagle cast crank to a forged Scat crank. Problem is, when I reinstalled the Eagle Sir rods into the Scat crank, the rod side clearances were WAY too tight, as in no clearance. I fine filed the side of two rods, and gained a little, but did I...

I just disassembled my 408 and found the thrust bearing heavily worn. My thrust bearing surface on my Eagle crank is fried as well as the bearing. I had no problem with the flexplate or converter fitting in the hub of the crank when I built the engine 2 years ago. Although you can see where the...

O.k., I'm learning just enough to be dangerous now with a vacuum gauge. My Eddy headed 408 is coming around now, especially now that I also learned how to use the 4 corner idle with the vacuum gauge. But my concern is that the vacuum gauge flutters, and the reading I get from my gauge hooked up...

Just reading a CarCraft magazine and noticed an article about the chamfer on the washer that goes under the head of the main bolt. I put my chamfer facing down, away from the bolt head, however the article states the chamfer faces the head of the bolt. Do I need to recheck this before the engine...

What spark plug recomendations do you guys have for a 408 SB w/Eddy Heads? Thanks, Darren

Well, after installing my ATI Superdamper, my March underdrive pulleys don't line up. Looks like the crank pulley is setting too far back. Any suggestions? Anybody else have this issue when switching to an ATI dampner? Thanks, Darren

O.k. guys, can't get to a dyno before I put the motor in my '68 Nothchback, but I value ya'lls (Texas talk) opinions. Please tell me what your honest opinion of h.p. and torque would be with my completed combo. 360 Magnum block bores .030 Eagle 4.00 crank Eagle I-beam rods Protru forged...

Well, I made a bone headed move and installed my cometic head gaskets and eddy heads and forgot to install the lifters. Duh! I had my heads all torqued down and then tried to put the lifters in, and well now I know you pretty much have to install the lifter first. Anyway, I've already remove the...

Hey guys. Another question, as I get differing opinions. What are ya'll torqueing your Eddy heads to with ARP bolts? Thanks, Darren

O.k., so what all do I need to know before I order my head studs for my 408 with Eddy Magnum heads? Where is the best place to order? Thanks as always

O.k., I just order a custom roller cam for my 'Cuda's 408 Magnum with matching valve springs with ProRoller 7 way timing chain set. I took some of ya'lls advice. Thanks for all the help!

Dam, I think I lightly scratched a rod journal taking the rod in and out for side clearance. My own fault. Am I screwed? Any fix, or do I take the crank back out. I had so much accomplished, now this sucks! :sad:

Well, I tried to install my HV oil pump from Indy and the pump hits the bolt on the #5. Called Indy(Where I've purchased about $4,000.00 worth of merchandise) and they condescendinly said that I need to be more engenuitive when building a stroker. They said to grind the clearance on the pump so...

What rod side clearances should I see on this 408 buildup? I'm getting as much as .024 between #4 and #5 and as little as .008 between #8 and #7 rods. Do I need to try to push #8 and #7 rods apart to see if I can get more? Sorry for all the questions, my first stroker build. I'm used to building...

Hey guys, Installed my rings on the pistons yesterday EXACTLY as shown on the ring packages. It showed the top piston ring chamfer pointing down, just like the second ring. Called Indy and they said that the top ring chamfer should be pointing up. There was no dot on the top ring to show which...

Have any of you guys had any dealings with Hughes Engines? I'm trying to get a roller cam for my Eddy Headed 408 and Comp cams is too hard to get a hold of. They act like they don't want to bother with a Mopar, and seeing how it is a stroker and not a 360, I think I need a cam for the extra...

What kind of piston ring end gap should I have? I'm building a 360/408 stroker with Indy 4.00" crank, and protru pistons at .030 over. I'm using my old pistons to square the rings up for accuracy, and the rings all seem to be between .018 and .019 on the first and second piston rings. Is this...

Took my RPM Magnum Eddy heads to the machine shop today. They looked them over, pulled the intake and exhaust valves, checked spring pressure, etc., and said that I really didn't need to do much to the heads as they looked good as they were. What gives? Is he right, do I not need to do anything...

How much will (if it will) it help to take my M-1 intake in with the Eddy heads to have gasket matched/machined to the heads? Is it worth the extra dollars? I could see when I took the intake off on the crate Magnum 360 where carbon had built up which I assume is where they machine the ports...

O.k., so far, I have a 408 stroker kit with untouched Eddy's for my 360magnum. Should yield around 10.0:1 comp. I bought Compcams "Camquest" equipped with a dyno sim. The sim made for some interesting hp outcomes, however it is just a simulator. Trying to decide what cam, hydraulic or solid(both...

Hello all, newbie here. I have a question regarding my build. I have a 360/380 crate and I think I spun a bearing or have a rod knocking. Anyway, I ordered a 408 stroker kit from Indy and a set of Edelbrock heads. My question is do ya'll think I need to use the roller cam that cam with the...
