Getting old and my New Years resolution is to reduce projects and focus. I've been collecting everything to replicate a 1966 Valiant V100 I had 35 yrs ago with a 273 Commando. Plan was to hide a late LA roller cam 360 under 273 trim well enough to fool most anyone but a sharp Mopar veteran. Seven years after finding a clean body in West Arizona I haven't gotten it built. I'm separating this stealth kit now and will offer the car in the Spring.

"Kit" consists of the following:

1. Hughes custom grind hydraulic roller cam optimized for a 360 with the restrictions of a low-rise single-plane intake and cast-iron manifolds into single exhaust.
2. Factory 66/67 intake (I planned Extrudehone) or Holley Street Dominator with larger ports (Planned filler on top of intake runners for painted factory appearance).
3. Nice pair of Commando/Charger rocker covers.
4. Good chrome Commando/Charger air cleaner hat. No base, planned to cut down a generic one for bigger carb.
5. Repro stainless tipped Commando/Charger exhaust resonator.

$875 for all of it, I won't consider separating unless I still have it this Spring. Located Colorado 81122

$875

@toolmanmike Thks for the referral. Here are pictures of a 65 Signet Commando car I put together with an E58 360 in 1990. Rhoads lifters sounded like solids and it has custom high flow single exhaust to an NOS resonator. There's a Thermoquad hiding under that air cleaner. Big bolt with 15x7s, 11.75 front rotors, F/R anti-roll bars. This is an example of this approach which I've used for decades. At least a dozen early A's built this way. Buyer gets my experience and "advice" as much as they want.

I was asked about the specs of the custom Hughes designed and ground cam. Remember this is for a late LA hydraulic roller 360 with 308 head castings as found generally in trucks and vans from ~1988-1992. Not a Magnum. Apparently, they didn't include the usual "cam card" I'm used to but the invoice has duration and LSA. So I don't have the lift specs though I remember they take advantage of the roller with fast ramps.

Wow, thanks @darndart It shows what I claimed which is roller cams are awesome for lift inside workable duration...

I've got multiple PMs about individual parts. I ask everyone be patient for a few days while I think about my approach to my longtime parts stash. Thanks!
