Thats a pretty stout cam. Does it not have a lope at idle? What rpm does it idle at? The guy i bought my dart off had the 3.91s in it and said he had to shift into second in the middle of the intersection...This from a stop light or stop sign. So put the 3.55s back in. Mind you he was almost as...
I wish i was 26 again....hell i'd settle for 45 :salut: ......I have a stick so am not too familiar with the autos...Why the 1.6s?....your gear change is gonna be HUGE! I've got 3.55s now and they are sure a nice middle of the road. Will be putting the 3.91s in though. Man you go out on the...
Okay, there is a really good chance you have the high comp. pistons. Find out for sure before putting in a different cam. You gotta at least take the heads off this winter and find out.
Well if it is i imagine you would have the high compression unit. Sometime in 72 they switched to the cast crank LC in the hole pistons...4 valve relief. The balancer should tell the tale. Hell even if it is a cast crank and in the hole pistons its not the end of the world. Pistons can be...
Have you had the heads to confirm its a low comp? Just because its a 72 doesnt automatically mean it the lc version. My block is supposidley a 72 but it dates to july 71 and pistons sit out of the hole....mind you aftermarket.
Fastback, my fairly stock dart will horrify a fairly stock 5.0.
Hemidave...i see what you mean now. However i'm looking to use open chamber heads. 308s if i can find a decent set. So the KB356s would fit without milling i assume. Of course this would depend on the head CCs, and how far the KB...
Okay so they are not flattops then.? You say you dont know what kind of heads your going to use. If you use a closed chamber you would have to go with Eddys i presume, seeing as the alternative would be 302s which would not be too cool on a 360. I would think 308s and a zero deck....but i guess...
I didnt realize the KB 356s were that light, 483grams. The only thing i could find that light were Ross's ...pricey though. I still wouldnt use KBs with a shot though. I'm thinking about a 360 stroker also. Are you using KBs Fastback?
