Cam suggestions

[Abodybomber]

The Year One cam is just a "close cam", similar to Comp cams. They are somewhat close to stock, different ramps, lift etc. but modernized. The same problem exists with the 383/335 HP cam. You wont believe how many people sell the "reproduction" cam. The numbers are all over the place.

It's really hard to find ,actual cams with stock specs.... I have had the best luck with wider lobe center (112-114...) Crowers beast series,and the Crane wide lobe center split patterns,from the early '80,s...

3.08 peg leg 10 bolt,bias ply 60 series,were not the hot ticket,for traction......

lack of traction,detroit 60's horsepower,and cops always make good anecdotes....

I loved the sixties. I loved the early 70s.The disco era not so much. I was too busy with babies to notice the eighties and nineties. The last kid left home in 2004, and suddenly I was in a world of Wack!
I wish that era from 65 to 75 had never ended.I get so homesick for those days, sometimes.

I would stick with the Mopar cam.

The confusion I have is I found many specs for a stock 340 cam of .429/.444 lift with duration 268/276. If this is the case, then the above cam isn't stock "O.E.M. replacement".

Mopar Performance P4452782AE
Part Number: 312-P4452782AE
Purple Shaft Hydraulic Camshaft & Lifter Kit

• Chrysler 273, 318, 340, 360

• Advertised Duration: 268°/276°

• Centerline: 114°

• Lift: .429"/.444"

• RPM Range: Idle to 5800

Cam not in quotes from Year One is a "Competition Cam" called a "Magnum Muscle" cam.
Above cam is the "OE" MoPar cam.
THAT is the OE cam spec.

i have seen many different numbers for duration at .050 for the stock piece.
..anybody have the correct ones.......int .210, exh .220 ?

The one I've measured have all been 208ish on intake and 214ish on exhaust, 429\444 for lift.

The 68 manual was 214 intake and 221 exhaust, 444/453 lift

Those are OEM cams still in or out of engine measured on a cam doctor.
