sometimes those rare parts are just around the corner (or laying around in my storage) :D

oh yes.. indeed i`am

it has been a long time ... but now i finally found the time to complete the engine and do the break in ... the 273 whiplash is in and the motor is running... sorry for the partly worse vid.... (should have put the light on to make the tach more visible.. idle is about 800 RPM)

Short update. .. looks like i'm going with a Custom-Made Whiplash cam from HughesEngines as i'm the very first one ( as Dave from Hughes wrote me) asking for a whiplash to put in a 273. They 've never made one before and would like to do a Custom Grind for me.

Something different just creeped into my mind. .. anyone ever used a 318 hughes whiplashcam in a 273? Just wrote Hughes Engines, whether it would work ( waiting for an answer from them now )

AJ..here are the specs i have - thanks (guess i would never get this knot out of my brain, if i would try ...)

Yepp, it causes headache ... but i think i got thepoint behind it... Unfortunately it's very complex to do those calculations and AJ/FormS deserves my greatest respect. Thanks foor showing me that the 340 cam wouldn't fit. Maybe i will simply take the 318 stock cam but it would also be...

normally - they don´t have a look, but sometimes they do... the problem then will be (or in case of an accident) i get serious issues because the German TÜV will hand over a note to the German IRS and they will get me hooked for tax fraud and also the insurance company will try to get hands on...

they are "custom made" by a friend of mine which is running a Hot Rod-shop here in Germany. unfort. i´ve never made a detailed pic of them ... but this pic from a race 2 years ago will give you an idea about the length :)

That's a great explanation AJ/FormS. Thanks. I do also have 2 other stick stored, if I remember right one was pulled out of a 318 and the other was an older aftermarket cam which was sold by PAW, must be SuperStockIndustries-11309 ssi 11309 (lob 112, duration @050 lift 204-214, adv dur...

@toolmanmike , my heads are open chambered #675 And yes i know about loosing compression with these heads. But maybe you remember the test runs 69 cuda 440 made The comptession advantage isn't that big in a small motor #920 vs. #675 Heads "Compression vs. Cylinder Flow"

Thanks DesertRat no the 318 valves fit without any Problems - i´ve also tested a pair of Magnum-Heads, no way, the larger Magnum-Valves will deffo hit the bore the 273 valve train was changed to hydraulic lifter some years ago before i bought the car.. so i´m fine with pushrods and...

dont know if you all got me right (maybe my German-English leads to the wrong conclussions) - the head job was allready done some years ago ... and these 318 heads are the heads i will use just because it´s the only set that i have laying around (and i´m not willing to purchase another set -...

one of the reasons is also the legal aspect here in Germany - the Barracuda is registered as an "historical vehicle" which gives special permissions like driving in restricted areas (emission control, pollution etc) and also we will have a significant advantage when it comes to taxes - 192 EUR...

again i´m into throwing a 273 together (as my wife complained that the fish was to rude and not really driveable in normal traffic with the beefed up Magnum motor) so decision were made the Magnum has to go and i will stick it into my Dodge D100 Truck next year. so here are my plans i wanted...

@360duster - Silvia was complaining that the 5.2 was way to aggressiv (it rev´d up pretty fast to 7000 RPM with the regrinded cam and the 3,91 gears), and i´m just thinking to get back to a simple streetable car. i also thought about replacing the rod and the crank and going on with the...

@toolmanmike it´s the low comp 273 with flat top pistons 040 overbored CR will be 8,8:1 (measured and calculated) with the given 318 heads ( #920 with opened up runners to 340heads size, bowl blended, valve bosses grinded down, exhaust runners and combustion chamber polished) the guy...

hi there, it´s been a long time that i posted something here... as the magnum engine in my 1965 Barracuda suffers from a spun rodbearing and my wife allways complained that she was affraid to drive the light car with that engine. Also it was a bit tricky with short gears and aggressive...

Hi, maybe i´m starting a totally worthless discussion... but when searching the web and looking into engine bays of modern cars, i recon. that the hose diameter for PCV and/or Breather hoses or the plumbing for oil catch cans are vary from product to product... this makes me thinink about...

:rofl: made my day...

stock pump with modified pressure spring (due to external filter and oil cooler to balance the loss due to the long hose routing)

yes it´s running better than expected, maybe the 3,91 rear end is a bit short now (had to play with the kick down adjustment to get it driveable on German streets, as it mostly resulted in uncontrolled wheel spin, when hitting the pedal at the wrong rpm/speed) but it makes a lot of fun...

short up date on this issue: i checked all the bolts on the oil pan - all were tight also checked the oil filter adapter plate - dry so i checked and corrected the oil level - was nearly 3/4 quart to much oil in it. done that, and it seems like the problem is solved now.

@medroy340, that a good idea... will have a look at it, especially as i have a adapter plate mounted

:lol: okay... busted... back side of the engine is dry and clean also the valve covers

Hello Folks, i just trying to solve the following problem. everytime i rev the engine past 3000 rpm i would notice some oil on the rear arch of the oil pan. under normal driving conditions there will be zero oil. it only happens when accelerated hard and fast past 3000 or more...

hi, just wanna ask if anybody here has made this modification. as i´m very limited with space due to the self made headers i´m using - can only run a relocated oil filter, and have used a 90 degree adapter with that kind of screw on relocation adapter thing, (like it is sold in these sets...

sure your looking at the engine oil pan...and not looking at the trans pan ??

Guess with a 360 you should betterlook for a 750 carb

hi ron there was a link somewhere from user Phista EDIT: okay...Looks like that link is down... but if you let me know your email adress i can send you the PDF-file
