    408 cam help

    268 or 276 should be a good choice on the street with what you have. Did you figure out where you would be on compression with that set up ? That would help in making the final choice for me.

    Car smokes out left side.

    Pulling the plugs and isolating the problem is good advice. Perform a cylinder pressure test while you have them out. A vacuum test may help also. A weak spark to one or more cylinders due to a bad plug or wire ? Valve seal or valve guide problems ? Good luck and keep us posted.

    360 LA cam selection

    I would drop down one size on the Lunati cam. The longer stroke 360 will make plenty of torque to pull the gears and convertor you have.

    Another age old question!

    I went with the balanced SFI one from Summit for my internal balance 410 that oldmanrick posted a link for. I think its a great choice for the money.

    Rear Axle Question - What would you do?

    I found an 8-3/4 with 3:23 sure grip for $325 on craigslist out of a 69 dart. They are still out there if you are patient. Same with the 8-1/4's.

    Talking compression?

    Pull the plugs and do a compression test. Otherwise you are just guessing until then and there really is no way of making a good cam selection.

    318 Build Stock++

    I would run 3:55 gears with that cam. Otherwise it will seem a little lazy .

    Tired of looking at cam specs.......

    Fix / tune what you have before making a cam swap. I think you have a good combo that needs dialed in.

    340 recommended intake

    The Performer RPM works nice with the cam you have. The LD 340 would work well also.

    Did I over cam my 408 for the street?

    I think its fine , you should have a real broad power band that comes on early and idles pretty nice. Tuning shouldn't be a problem. 2800-3000 would be my choice on the convertor.

    Head gasket questions!

    Once you figure out your thickness needed Buy a set of the Cometic MLS (multi layer steel) head gaskets and spray both sides with cooper coating,let them tack up before installing. This will help prevent water seepage when running alum heads.

    Check my math, please-cam degreeing

    That is why I prefer the 9 key way timing sets. You can get them a little closer than the 3 key way ones.

    Rambler, put a simple motor in it now and do the Gasser mods as time and money come.

    408 stroker

    A super charger put you into a different ball park. A well thought out stroker will be plenty.

    Can you guess my cam?

    Sounds bigger than a stock cam. lol Is the idle turned down ? It seems less than 1k.

    Explain this.

    The hughes are a nice set. same price for 1.5 or 1.6 Often the added lift gives you more midrange power.
