What is the cost of doing a regrind compared to buying a new cam? Just curious as i would queation is there much of a value to risk reward? Rod

The way it sits now its running thru a 3" exhaust system. As for RPM range it goes to 7k without blinking an eye. I havent had it above that yet but it still has more to go. Rod

Here are pics of the heads. They didnt attach on last attempt.

My pics didn't post so when I get home here shortly I will try again to post head pics. Rumble. I boight these heads already ported so I didnt know what I had until they showed up. Rod

First let me thanks for all the replys and thoughts. I thought I would share some addition information on this motor. It has about 300 miles on it. As I said its stroked and is .040 bore. Compression right now is at 10.5-1. I expect to go to 11.5-1 with the aluminum heads??? I am going to...

I have a 360 stroked to 408 that is running a comp cam .575, .575 lift and .308,.308 duration. Currently i am running 1.5 rockers and I am considering going to 1.6 rockers. Was wondering how to figure what the additional lift would be if I were to make this change. Also how much if any would...

Thanks everyone, I'm going to be purchasing the felpro 1008. They should work fine. I think sometimes we try to go way to deep into things. Thanks Rod

toolmanmike, they are 915J heads with oversized valves. I had them reworked and they were already ported when I got them. Why do you ask? Rod

70aarcuda, Its a 360 bored .030 and stroked to a 408. The compression with the steel heads is 10.5:1. The cam is a comp cam solid roller with a .575 lift on both valves. The edelbrock heads have the oversized 2.02 and 1.90 I think. the intake will be the old TR5 with the lower upper plantum and...

Ive got a stroked 408 in my Dart. When I decided on building this car I made up my mind to use a 2x4 setup. However I wanted to start the engine with a single 4 bbl just to avoid any issues at startup. Ive gotten evrything else tackled including the overheating I was having so im thinking it...

TTI was very good to work with when I bought my headers. I had ordered the wrong size collector for a 2 1/2" system but was going with a 3" system. When I called they had me send the incorrect ones back and then sent me the 3" all within a week. No additional charges so Im betting you will be...

I did the milodon oil pan on my 66 Dart and I had to notch the k frame. The pan would fit in but it was to close and when accelerating would have hit. Heres a pic of my k frame once notched. I added the gussets in the corners for extra support. The gussets are all the way to the rear of the...

Nub340, sorry i didnt follow up with my post. This is the first time ive looked back. As for my cam and lifters it was always a solid roller cam application. And in the end my cam even after 2 regrinds to reduce the base circle still would not work with the comp solid rollers. Thats when I found...

I had an issue with the lifters on my 360 LA and comp cam. Mine was a little different as on my block the bottom of the lifter came up past the oiling hole in the lifter bore. Comps first answer was to send me another set of lifters. Didnt make any difference. Then I sent cam back to have the...

With these units are there just one sensor or does each side get a sensor? I am not familiar with these at all. Thanks Rod

I bought a set for on mine and they fit fine. I made sure they sat flat on the head first without any warpage. Have not started engine yet so cant say much more about them. Rod

My TTi were just over $800 a year ago. But the money layout does not stop there. As mentioned above you will probably need to change the starter to a mini that you can index. I used a napa mini but had to heat and bend one of the tubes slightly keeping me from touching the starter body. Mine is...

There is a company called TTI that makes headers for the early A body cars. You can find the information at ttiexhaust.com. Be prepared for a high price. I purchased a set for my 66 Dart and have installed them. They fit but not an easy installation. They can also offer you a complete exhaust...

I have never put a motor or had one built that I didnt start within a month of getting it together. However I think the one I put into the Dart is going to be some time before I get to start it. I was hoping for a March or April start but time is running out as March is almost over. Once April...

In 1977-1980 I drove my Cuda everywhere with 4:56 gears and a 440 6-pack. Very seldom was I ever on the highway but I remember going to an Oriole game in Baltimore which was about a 60 mile trip south in it and top speed was around 50 mph. Took forever to get there but that thing was over 4000...

Torque strap should work fine if you dont mind it there. Hipo65, do you think at least 1 second of that low 12's is from the GM strap!! lol Rod

Brian T n Trailbeast, These covers came with bolts and washers. Hopefully that is what I need. I have them all started and they all worked. Am I going to have other problems? Looks like many good options. Thanks to all for the replys. Rod

I put my covers on tonight with the gaskets that were in the overhaul kit. These gaskets are a hard fiber type. I have always used cork gaskets on my cars in the past. What are the thoughts for the best sealing. Not looking to have any oil leaks once this thing is started. Heres a pic of the...

By doing some porting work on the 915 J heads how much flow can I pick up? I dont want to have to spend $1500 plus for a set of heads when I will only race 3-4 times a year. I know I have over cammed for the heads that are on it. a solid roller with .575 lift on both! Just looking for options so...

I know the bottle neck in the motor I will be running in my dart is going to be the 915 J heads. I did step up the valve size when I had them redone. So heres my question: What does a 915 J head flow stock? how much more with the larger valves. And how much would I improve the flow if I...

Just a quick update on this. I havent looked into this any farther until yesterday when I removed the engine. I was looking to see if I could just relieve some clearance on the sealing area, when I saw that the cover wasnt moving because of the tabs on the intake are touching the edge of the...

I bought a set of aftermarket valve vcovers and put them on tonight to see if I would have any issues with them. Well I do! They are aluminum covers with a bottom flange that appears to be hitting the springs. Yes they are not a stock spring and the heads needed to be cut to use them. I was...

After many conversations with Edelbrock, Summit, members here on the site and SMI the last 2 days, I decided to let SMI (Sean Murphy Induction) custom build a carb for me. Also I have decided to go with the Edelbrock Victor that was recommended here in an earlier reply. I respect all the replys...

could someone please explain what is meant when they say the Cubic Inches will eat up the cam. I am stroking a 360 to a 408. So many people I talk to will say the cam will act a little smaller because of the motor being stroked. I understand engines, but need a little clarification on how...
