Too bad it's gonna be a low comp 318 dog! I'm hoping I'll at least get some dependability and a bit of fuel economy out of it.

huh - so you're not just another pretty face either...

 

[ScampMike]

Well, I'm really wanting a custom ground one. Rusty Rat Rod and a few others swear by Oregon Cam Grinders. So I called them, they will custom grind me a cam to my combo for 75 bucks, but want a core cam turned in, otherwise it turns to 150. So I was thinking of turning in that 35 dollar one as the core

ah ha - now that you clarify - get 'er done!

Make no mistake of it, I AM a pretty face!!!, I just happen to do some actual car stuff every now and then!!

The cool part is, they will do a roller for the same price.....

But the rest of the gear is little more pricey!!

yeah exactly. about 400 for their roller lifters. question is, is it worth the cost for my build, I'm already dumping probably 3 grand into the heads/rockers

For what you're building, probably so...

did you go stock specs or did you bump it up a little here and there?

Carrie Fisher, 'Star Wars'' Princess Lei dies at 60 - CNN.com

I feel a disturbance in the Force

All I did was clean it up, paint and new gaskets.. double roller timing set, new oil pump... motor only had 60Kish on it and ran nice.. Biggest beef was rusty crap in the cooling passages.. Cleaned all that out..

It's my get them on the road and driving motor while I work on a 340 for the Barracuda and a 360 for the Dart. Then maybe I'll find a home for the slanty..

 

[ScampMike]

should be good for 240hp... plus it looks like an aftermarket intake and carb on there... going in ??

my first 318 - 72 Scamp, headers, dual exhaust, intake, 4bbl., and an 8 3/4 w/3.23's - - slightly bigger tires on the back... not a hot rod by any means, but it agile and quick
