360 smogger or not??

Crane doesn't make a 268 duration cam. (Mild Hyd. cam that is.)
Perhaps, a Comp cam. Reguardless, if you can find the cams spec card, you'd be in good shape then. If not, theres a slight problem. Since he mentioned, "Biggest you can go with the stock converter", an upgraded converter would only be something like a 2000 stall for a street ride. Going more agressive would require a numerically higher gear ratio and lighter car weight.

OH, I went into my old mag articles and found the "Smog Dog Dyno Flog" write up. The low compresion 360 used regular sized tube headers, a cComp Cams XE262 (218/224-.462/.470-110 ) as the power parts. The Performer intake didn't net them much at all and a switch to a Edel. Q-jet netted a loss.

Base line power pulls were done with exhaust manifolds on this .040 replacement slug 360 to a tune of 262 HP and 371 lbs. Tq.
After swaping parts, it pulled 335 hp & 400 lbs. of torque.
This should be a fairly fun ride in a A body car with a reasonable set of gears and converter that should run into the 13's.

70aarcuda is right,
A 73 HP and 30 ft lbs. increase in power. Not bad for a cam and headers.
The cam they used, the mag, you could go one larger with the stock converter.

Whats your gear ratio?
Rumble thanks for the good info. One thing you misread:He said it was the biggest cam you could go with the stock(single)valve springs.No biggie.I have all kinds of gears to try 2.76,3.23,3.91,4.10and also 4.57.I,m just gonna play around this summer.$$Money and work is a big factor here.Hoping next year to run in the low 10,s.For now which gear and t.convertor do you suggest for just some fun track time?
