Bump

Yeah that's it

I bought these brand new, but haven't had the time or money to work on the barracuda. includes cam and a set of lifters. everything is brand new in the box still. paid 199.99 from summit racing. located in portland, OR looking for 160 obo.

yeah this is the same guy, but he doesnt work at a shop. he does it out of his garage.

ok so im stuck on what to do with the cam situation. i would like to run the highest amount of lift that i can get away with, but im not sure what that is. .477 lift is for the xe268h and then the xe284h has a .507 lift. does this sound about right if my head are ported and i have the heavy duty...

I still dont know if i should run a different cam with more lift. The heads are supposedly set up for over a .500 lift. I just dont want to put this cam in and find out i want more later.

Yeah im changing the cam out, but im not sure if i want to use the one i bought cause I would like to run more lift.i would like to be right over .500 instead of .477. The carb is fully rebuilt. The guy that built my motor knows a guy that rebuilds carbs and he charged me 225 for rebuild and 50...

Im debating on if i should run the xe268 cam or if i should sell it and buy one with a higher lift. Im just tired of not doing it right the first time. my buddy always telling me to "quit wiping before you poop".

would this being out of adjustment be causing the car to chug and sometimes die when taking off. Even coming off the freeway and letting it coast when it gets down around 1000rpms it will chug. Im not sure if its the screw or my choke.

im running a 750 avs on my 360 and i only have one screw to control the air/fuel adjustment. The spots where they usually have them are blocked off with plugs. Ive been told this is so you would have to bring it to the dealership to get it fixed but i dont know. i was just wondering where my one...

I know he took it all apart because when the cam went bad we found out that the pistons were too small cause the block was a used .30 over with a hone job instead of a fresh .30 over. so i had a whole new block done and a new cam put in. I hate the fact that i chose to go with getting a block...

He told me that he used keith black 10 to 1 pistons with valve reliefs and file fit rings. I think they are forged. when the cam went bad the lifters did too.

i live in portland oregon, this guy is just a backyard mechanic that was introduced through another guy i met. the machine shop told him that the cam went bad because there is no zinc in the oil anymore and now hes telling me that i have to run this 15 dollar additive for the zinc every oil change.

i bought these heads from a friend of the guy that built my motor. i never recieved any paperwork on them but they are supposibly set up for a cam over a 500 lift.
