that would be me, sorry if it's messed anyone up. the problem is that the pics are too large and have been having trouble with the iMac posting them as attachments. when i make an attempt, i test it right away and if it doesn't come up, i delete it before anyone wastes their time. The iMac doesn't allow me to resize the photo (in iPhoto), so i'm trying to email to my computer at work and back here. the email process does allow reduction in photo size. i was about to make another attempt.

I'm running a Mallory. I initially tried a MSD, but the intake manifold extended back too far to slide the distributor in. With smaller diameter, the Mallory makes it in, but not by a whole lot. I'm happy with the tri-power set up. One aspect of it is the visual, it just looks cool on a Hemi. Performance-wise, it's better when I nail it in first (rolling) or from a stop, but if I open all six at about 70 or so, it's less impressive. Just an adjustment issue, I haven't hit the right combination yet. The carbs are Rochester, they're all functional. As a lot of you already know from your own experience, the real fun is in the driving.
It's never been on a dyno, but the best guess is I'm getting about 310-315 hp. And with the total weight of the car just under 3000 lb., it does all right.

315 hp out of a 241 ?? did you have custom high compression pistons made? with stock pistons 7.1 compresion,,factory hp is 140 with a 2 bbbl., i think it would be very hard to double thet hp with out bigger compression

The pistons were custom-made by JE pistons, c.r. is 10 to 1, cam reground by ISKY (i think 270 deg., don't remember lift), balanced, ported, sanderson headers, align-bored, and overall displacement due to .030 over is about 244. Interesting story about the pistons is that since nobody made custom forged-aluminum pistons for this engine, the engine builder had to make clay impressions of the cylinder head so JE could proceed.

that's for eight. if it had been for ten, the other two would have been made into trophies. at least it would seem like more of a bargain that way. As to the cam, luckily it was good enough to be reground by Isky Cams. Here's another interesting story by the shop that did the engine; Ol' Ed Iskendarian himself, now retired, sometimes still likes to come in the shop and run through some cams. When mine came in, supposedly he reground it.
Don't know if it's true, but makes for a fun story.
Just to clarify; the engine builder was in Lansing, MI and sent the cam out to Isky,

This is from a work order Jan '02, so i can't say if the company info is still valid. Anyway JE Pistons,15312 Connector Lane, Huntington Beach, Calif. You might be able to reference what they did for me with the job order #298446. The phone number shown is (714)898-9763. They also show a piston part # of 196722. Maybe it's a guy thing, but those pistons were just beautiful.
The piston weight is 445 grams, and as mentioned before, comp. ratio is 10 to 1. The cam was reground by Isky Cams for 270 deg. duration and .465 lift. For grind, they show '270-Mega'
