I have not tore into one of these roller motor yet and was wondering if the cam has provisions for a fuel pump eccentric? I did pop a v-cover and it has the 302 heads and the timming cover has a fuel pump blockoff plate on it. Just looking at building a millage motor as cheap as possible. Have a t-quad intake and a e-brock 1406 carb and headers for it will go in a 84 D150 short bed. 904 lockup and 2.94 rear with 28 to 29" tall tires. 5449597-lowertruck017a.JPG (72 downloads)

I had bullet cams regrind mine with their 259/316HR lobe on both the intake and exhaust--I'm using mag heads, and the exhaust flows a lot better than the 302 heads. regrind is like $150, shipping both ways is ~$30. the roller lifters can be reused. the pushrods, probably, too. if you're serious about mileage, I'd maybe drop the intake lobe down to the HR247/306 lobe and the exhaust to the HRL256A lobe. hughes 1110 springs should work good for these lobes. 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)
