That cam did seem to like to rpm a bit more than the stock oiling was good for. Back then, I thought I was pushing pretty hard on that front and cut the rpm ceiling to 6600.
That is a 9.8-1 with 72cc’s & a .039 gasket.
Adjust it accordingly to the head gasket dimensions.
In the Ol’E body, the 4.10’s and a 28” tire was pretty OK. The 26” tire was hard to get a good 60’. Also being BFGoodrich street tires.... not so hot though smoke shows were EZ. The 28” tire was still a street tire but at the track and a good surface, it was much better. I still couldn’t drop the clutch were she wanted to be. It had to be walked out a bit.
A decent tire would have been nice.
I recently just scored a 340 with this cam and it has TRW slugs in it. I’ll have to remove the heads again for the numbers on them. I have thought about running it as is after a check out and possible refreshing. The Duster would be a 904 trans car. I don’t have a regular 4spd trans, just an OD unit that also needs to be gotten into.
