You know what we don't even know if the 318 drag racing engine would blow, it would take a lot for it to blow. Did I waste money on a 318 drag racing engine that has concrete in it no because I am sure there is ways to keep it from overheating. I already had bought parts for it to begin with and already have some parts for 87 also.
Ooops, 45 years a tool&die maker I should know better.
Yeah. A 5.9 magnum.
A lot of Ford engines that get built for drag racing too. Some of the guys use the Chevrolet connecting rods because they are more cheaper than Ford's.
One too many "O"s in oops, too. LOL!
maybe i missed it... but did you get any of this assembled?
There was a camshaft that came with but I couldn't find who made the company other than there is numbers on the back of the camshaft.
Is the number engraved or stamped?
While I certainly agree, I'd rather "get power" somewhere else. Chrysler designed these engines with BIG rod journals for a reason. I know the friction thing is argued, but to me, compared to strength, that's splittin hairs. I'd rather have my fatass journals. ...and my fatass connecting rods.
measure the cam. hell, check to make sure it's even a mopar cam!
Let me get a picture of the back of the camshaft maybe you guys can find something on it.
cuz that's what it is.
My theory is: use the lightest (reasonable) pistons and pins you can get. End result is it effectively makes the rods stronger, and reduces load on the bottom end.
I wish I knew who made the camshaft that came with the engine. Other than it's a roller cam that came with the engine.
Yes. The pistons and pins are what's "out there" slingin. lol
Maybe it's a 3/4 cam? Sorry
Looks like you have a cam shaft core and heads. That is if they check out and can be redone
I was going to order a new camshaft from Summit Racing but I was gonna go to Crower also.
