I never run away from challenges:wink::wink: Antoon

Well, I bought the set. It's complete and also includes the mopar performance six pack air cleaner with the rare CA 332 V air cleaner element. I paid 1000 euro for it, which is about 1300$. Not too bad concidering it's only an hour drive away. Antoon

Thanks for the correction. Than it shouldn't be a problem since a 408 has more cubes than the 383 it came from. How much difference is there between the automatic carbs and the ones for a four speed? My car is a four speed and the donor car an automatic. Thanks, Antoon

Hi gang, I have a chance to buy a complete set of six pack carbs which came from a 383. I would like to install it on the mild 408 I'm building. I'm assuming the center carb is a big block piece, which shold be 500 cfm. Will these carbs fit on the small block six pack intake? Will the...

After some questions about the lift and my expectations, I got this reply: There is only 20 degrees overlap @ .050, so vacuum should be good. Driveability and torque would be excellant also in a 4 inch stroke crank 408 cubic inch motor. I dont want more lift. this will only create lower...

Thanks for your advise. Antoon

So you think this one will suit my needs? Antoon

After consulting Bullet racing cams, they sugested a cam with these specs. GRIND CRA266/272F109+4 MASTERS F266/320 F272/318 DUR @ .050 235/241 LIFT .480/.477 LSA 109 INT C/L 105 It's a solid cam. What do you guys think about this one. Will it achieve my goals?? Thanks, Antoon

Thanks guys. Wil try that. Antoon

Thanks fishy!! Anybody have an email adres for Engle and Bullit? Thank, Antoon

Offcourse. Quality of the grind is the most important factor of it all, but with all other things equal, cost is the second most important factor for me. I'll try engle as well. Thanks, Antoon

No I haven't relly set my mind onto anything. It's just real hard to see through the woods of all sellers who claim their product is the best. I just want good quality, at a good price. I also didn't know about racer brown so I will try that as well. Do both off them also have an email adres...

My own remark got me thinking. Isn't there perhaps an independent camshaft/engine guru who isn't married to hughes/comp/racer brown............ etc etc etc, who can give a solid advice on which parts to buy depending on your personal wishes? Antoon

Yeah, it seems that every manufacturer says their stuff is the best because of so and so...bla bla bla. Which is fine offcourse since they just want to sell their stuff. It's just difficult for novice engine builders to see through all that, and select something that works and doesn't cost you...

And what about the difference between the comp and the hughes I selected. Does the huge price difference justify the choice to choose hughes, for better performance and durability over the comp, or can they both make me happy (maybe one step bigger on both cams) Antoon

What brand did you run? Does it have good vacuum for the power brakes? Antoon

I've sent Howards an email, and see what they've got. I didn't mention the heads I'm going to use, and they are 587's with 2.02 valves that I'm going to port myself. What's wrong with building a high torque, not so high revving stroker? Isn't the longer crank made to make lots of torque...

And how about durability of both cams? Hughes claim they make "real" chrysler parts with a "real" chrysler lobe, and that their cams are therefore faster of the ramp, and higher lift than the competition giving a hughes cam with the roughlly the same duration act like a bigger cam than one off...

Maybe it's good to mention the engine is going into a stock 1970 challenger with a four speed, 3.23 rear and 255/60/15 tires. The plan is to build a moderate street engine. No strip! It has to be a reliable, good running, high torque street engine with decent fuel economy. No high power high...

Hi, I'm in the process of selecting a new camshaft for my 408 build, and I have narrowed it down to two: Comp: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-CL20-230-4/ Hughes: http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/products.php?browse=search&search=htl3742&partid=21799 So which one would you...

My first choice is in fact the RHS heads, but since I live in the netherlands, and these heads are for sale locally, I can save a huge amount on shipping, but my guess was these are truly too small. btw, the seller wants 1050 euro's for them, which is about 1450$, but then I also need other...

Hi Guys, Another head question. I've got the chance to buy some nice priced hughes iron ram heads. Will these work on a mild 408...

Thanks, but I'm not interested in getting the highest horsepower rating from thios engine. It needs to have a lot of torque and be reliable. What happens should i get the cam, and then advance it a few degrees in my 408, or is this a bad idea?? Thanks, Antoon

Thanks for the replies guys. Here are some more specs. I've got a seasoned 77 360 which will go 0.030 over. I've got a scat cast 4" crank with I-beam rods, and kb356 pistons For induction I have an edelbrock D66 which I plan on using with two 1404's opening progressively, so when crusing...

Does anybody else have some thoughts about this specific grind? Thanks, Antoon

Hi guys, I'm still gathering parts for my budget build, mild 408 and I'm interested in this cam that a forum member is selling: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=114279&SID=547u7cys9d&dr_log=-1&linkout=http%3A//www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-20-231-4/ Will this work in...

I forgot to mention that I will be running 340 hp exhaust manifolds and a TTI 2,5" exhaust with dynomax mufflers. Antoon

Thanks for all the replies so far, Let me give some more details about the build. First, I live in the netherlands, so that's a cost factor as well, since shipping a pair of steel heads from the usa will cost around 200$ and then there's always taxes and custums. The engine will go in a 1970...

Hi Guys, I'm planning a budget 408 360 stroker build. I was thinking about using the new indy RHS head. However I have a chance now to buy a pair of 308 heads locally. I expect they need to be gone through totally. Which head would be best (without porting and stock valve size) for a budget...
