Cam Gear Drive
Well, I have decided to do a engine swap this summer and drop the 273 for my sons built up 318. While the engines out I was thinking about a cam gear drive by Milodon. Their not cheap but I have aways liked the sound. My question...has anyone had one? How do they sound in MOPS? Like I mentioned their not cheap but would like to hear any feedback before I jump too fast. While I'm in the performace section....These are the numbers I got back for the 318 with what work has been done.

First off I assumed 9:1 comp., a 600cfm carb and 1.88 intake valves on the heads. I ran a 10:1 and 2.02 heads just for ***** and giggles
9:1 1.88 valve results
290 hp@5000 rpm
352 tq@3500 rpm
10:1 1.88 valve
306 hp@5000 rpm
367 tq@3500 rpm
10:1 2.02 valve
315 hp@5000 rpm
371 tq@3500 rpm
Have found the desktop dyno to be somewhat acurate. Chassis dynoed my truck and once you figure in driveline loss it comes within 5%.
Should make for a quick car!
