I’m very interested in a driver quality shroud! ‘72 V8 a body! Located in 38856

Whats the idle quality? Noticeable?

I believe you’re right on the 108LSA for big red

Gear ratio is subject to change around from a 2.94/3.23 to a 3.55/ 3.91 currently a 2.94 and very soon to be a 3.55. Tire size is 24” tall I believe. Yes convertor will be picked after cam is decided on. 1 7/8” longtubes on it aswell as an air gap intake.

Hey all! I’ve searched and searched and I can’t find a good thread/ write up on a good rowdy/ daily 5.9 Magnum cam I’ve got a ‘69 Dart fresh rebuilt 5.9 Mag in mine. All stock with a thinner head gasket .039 and some mild porting on the heads (de shrouded the valves, cleaned up runners, pencil...

I have, but for as little as I’d really use it I’d prefer to go the cheaper mini spool route

Whats a surefire way to determine the heads are correct?

I thought only 360s were external? This is a 318

It may be a bit high, but it very similarly follows ‘hot rods 400 horse 318’ build, but roller rather than flat tappet. Some pocket porting/ cleaning on the EQs and i feel it’ll be plenty stout. Besides, if i ever decide to go 5.9 Mag in the future i’ll have the perfect heads for it.

Theres this guy local that has a rebuilt (by a local machine shop 10 years ago) ‘98 5.2 Magnum motor for sale. He says it was for a project and life got in the way, but it has been stored indoors. He states this motor has never been fired. Ad describes: -new std bearings -new cast rings -block...

I did indeed post on Facebook aswell, I have already found im getting much better and more logical answers here!

Thank you for this! I love the numerical breakdowns with factual backing! thank you!!!
