This is a street car,360,kb flat tops,rpm intake,tti step headers,hughes stage 1 iron heads,750 dp,tko-600 5 speed,391 gear. I'm pulling out a edelbrock rpm cam 234/244 .488/.513. It runs OK with the rpm cam,just want to try something else. I put this motor together 14 years ago. What center line do you guys install this thing at? Thanks Mike 6060950-Dart29.jpg (66 downloads)

I've run that cam in a bunch of big block motors and it is a killer cam for street performance. It will probably have a rough idle in a 360. In a 440 it idles fairly smooth but pulls hard to 6200 rpm.

The .028-.032 was very noisey so I snugged them down to .022-.024 cold. You do know you end up w/ a cam in the 500 lift range after you take out the lash???

That way, at least you will be optimizing the cam for your combination. Put in a new tru-roller timing chain and lifters and have your distributor advance curve optimized if you haven't already. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
