    Twin Turbo 1971 Scamp Project

    Cool build! What front brakes and spindle/hub set up are you running?
  2. mopar340dave

    kits available for disc brakes

    The spindle is different....which makes the balljoints different.....and the bearings

    Well, I've got my 69 swinger sitting here with factory kh disc....what would you offer for the spindles, rotors and calipers?

    Checking lobe lift

    Why not start the engine and let it run for a minute to get the lifters pressurized, turn it off and yank the covers and rockers and then measure off the push rods? The dial indicator doesn't have enough spring pressure to compress the lifters so they should stay where they are when you check...

    Anyone had experience with Clay Smith fuel pumps?

    I have not used their fuel pumps but everything they sell they stand behind and they are great people. You won't have any problems and if ya do, call them, they'll make it right.

    318 ideas..opinions please.

    Sounds like you're doing it right except the cam....I would run something in the 250+ at .050" range in a solid....roller if you can afford it. If you want big power you need to spin it to 7000+ And make sure the heads are ok....they tend to crack

    Cam selection help please

    Your problem isn't with the piston to valve clearance, it's your static compression ratio. If you go to a longer duration cam you will bleed off too much compression and then you actually make less power. Every cam has a suggested static compression ratio. If you go above it your motor will...

    Eagle crank, radiused fillets, scrape bearings?

    Yes, if your rod bearings are not chamferred, they need to be.

    Need valve train advice 318...

    That's a 6800 rpm cam and it doesn't start pulling until 2600. At least 3.91 gears with short tires will be needed. 243/251 @ .050" and .546"/.566" lift 2600-6800 rpm Springs should have 130 pounds of seat pressure with 1.7" installed height. Lunati is correct in telling you to change...

    how to port swirl ports

    You run whatever type of cam you want to, just make sure the valve springs match.

    **Twin Turbo 67 Dart Project**

    You're right on this. The timing is key. With the regulator between the fuel rail and the pump it can't react quick enough. It's getting conflicting pressure signals from both the pump and the injectors. With it on the far side of the fuel rail it can keep it steady.

    real or fake garrett turbo?

    Yup, fake. That doesn't mean it's junk, though.

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    Yes, and that is why I was thinking the rpm range going up to 6500 is not a great plan.
  22. mopar340dave

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    I didn't address your first question...revving to 6500...I'd say yes. The question is, do you need to?
  23. mopar340dave

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    They (should) design the cams for the heads, compression, exhaust, intake, vehicle weight, gears and trans type. If you contact Clay Smith they will want all of that info to give you the best cam for your set-up. Generally speaking, upping the lift and/or duration on the exhaust side helps...

    Custom ground camshaft, low power

    Man, it's night and day! I will never run a hydraulic again! You should contact Clay Smith in SoCal. Give George your specs and he will get everything you can out of that build and you will only need a cam. No need to change your head gaskets. I can't say enough about how great these people are...

    overcharging the battery HELP

    I didn't say that right...the cable needs to go from the negative post to the block AND the frame.:oops:
  27. mopar340dave

    overcharging the battery HELP

    Make sure the cable going from the engine block/cylinder head is grounded to the negative post on your battery. When I went from a built 340 with solid mounts to a mild 318 with rubber mounts I forgot to add a ground cable and i had the same problem.

    Crate motor prices, Who's smoking crack???

    While the prices have gone up, they were never cheap. Mopar crates have always been way over-priced. Those of us who can build our own are fine...those that can't need to deal with reputable builders....like Bob Mazzolini in SoCal. http://www.bobmazzoliniracing.com/
  29. mopar340dave

    Be careful out there!

    That's exactly what I was thinking....nice 69!
