You could retard it a couple of degrees from the recommended intake centerline. To close the intake a little later.

The K frame is there.

I may have to make my own somehow. If I think hard enough I'll find a way to get it out.

Harley ironhead sportster, harley flatheads, BSA and Truimphs from the 50s. All these and more had cast iron heads. With low compression of course.

So I bought a tool but realized after I got it, it's only for installation. I havent found one to remove it it while in the car.

Yes that bushing. I'll have to Google it and get one.

Is there a tool to remove / replace the distributor shaft bushing while the engine is still in the car. It's a 440. Mines getting loose and doing weird timing tings.

If you get that cam, get their matching springs and retainers. You can get a set of Elgin replacement valves for 140.00 on ebay. I have used them in a 440. They work fine. If you want better, get some stainless 2.14, 1.81 valves for more power. And more cost.

I don't think two thermoquads would fit that intake. The carbs are very close together. Unless you made some offset adapters

I had a lokar kick down cable and throttle cable. It worked just fine. Pedal pressure was normal.

I had one on my 66 coronet with two 600 Edelbrocks. My 440 was 9.4 to 1, hughes 228 232 @50 cam. Headers and some head work. It ran well. Very responsive. I first had progressive linkage but it was much more responsive with both carbs opening the same rate. The only issue I'd get was some poor...

I made 415 hp and 465 torque with this dopey cam and an actual 7.5 to 1 compression. Excellent response and great midrange torque. No girls look at me because I put quiet mufflers on it.

All the people saying the Hughes cam is to much, won't work, not enough compression, have not used one. Or cannot tune an engine.

One more thing, Ive driven cars with 3.91 gears all over. No big deal. I have 3.55 in my coronet with the low compression 440 and it's just right with a 28 inch tall tire. 3 73 gears isn't much different. It'll be fine.

With those pistons you will have approximately 8 to 1 with a steel shim head gasket. I have a set of these pistons and just measured them yesterday. It will work just right with that cam. Could you make more power with some 2355s, yes, but if these are new I'd run it with the Hughes cam. I'm...

It will work well. I have used the next step smaller whiplash cam in a 7.5 to 1 440. It's 229 242 @.050. I ported my 452s and made 415hp 465 lbs ft on the dyno. I used a ch4b intake and a 750 3310. I just freshened the motor. It was from a 77 fury and had dished pistons. Just make sure you have...

Actually it's this cam. Made by Elgin, melling, etc. I also degreed a mopar performance magnum cam. Same specs.

Thats not a big cam. With good compression and the timing dialed in right. It should idle just fine with a 750 Holley assuming everything is in correct working order. Even at 15 degrees at idle, it should run good. Although I'd probably add more, depending on what the motor likes. Also, these...

I agree. No need For an electric fuel pump. My 66 coronet ran great with a tunnel ram, two 600 carbs, 5/16 line and a stock replacement pump. It eventually went bad after 14 yrs and I put in a good performance mechanical pump.

A set of speed pro 2355F would be a good piston for this. Even the summit 6401 is a nice street cam.

Get bent.

I put the shorties in a 68 barracuda with 440 4 speed, power steering a couple of years ago. Had to buy a specific starter that TTI tells you to use. Tight but Everything fit.

Isn't it nice how some people will post a 1000 words to criticize a question or post, rather than a few words to answer it. Some people live very boring lives.

First, how far is the piston in the hole, and what is your chamber ccs?

Where did you have it dynoed? My old boss and myself have always had good results from R&R Performance in spring lake park. Over 10 yrs ago we took a 512, edelbrock heads, I believe 238 @ 50 hydraulic roller cam, performer rpm, 750 demon carb. It made 538 hp and 624 ft lbs. Granny could drive...

I've seen non magnum 383's with a calculated compression after cc ing around 7.8 to 8 to one. You should cc first if its apart.

Yep, I know its a c body pan.

I agree, you don't want to boost the KB's anyway. Run the lys. They take a lot of abuse.

That said, you can still make a low compression 440 move pretty good with the proper cam selection, intake, carb, ex combo. I had a 77 440 in a 70 Coronet. I put a magnum reproduction cam in, pocket ported the heads, the old Edelbrock ch4b intake and headers with 3.91s and a 750. It ran real...

Not enough to make a real difference with stock 78 pistons.
