I'll bet that's a fun ride :D.

I think we're somewhat on the same page. My hyd. choice was to give some good lift numbers under the curve with good flowing heads. I'm sure your roller certainly supplies that. Of all the "cast" engines built in the 60's/70's, the Mopar small block is the most reliable of any in my opinion. But I was still taking into account a reasonable rpm limit for his engine as far as durability. My thinking was to build the best power in the 4000 to 5700 rpm range, with a shift point at 6k. The fact that a 3.91 gear is a possibility makes me think I'm close with my cam thoughts.

ckdezert, what kind of rpm's are you turning yours? And what gear & torque converter do you run? Not questioning anything, just curious as to how thing are working for you so I can put it in the "vault"...lol. I love learning how different combo's work out...:thumbrig:
