Late 1968...I'd say those were '69 models.

I was told by Isky that the oil hole in the lifter does not need to line up with the oil hole in the block or bushing. The oil pressure in the lifter to bore clearance is enough to pressurize the oil passages in the lifter through its oil hole on the o.d. of the lifter body. I also have Stage V rockers that oil through the shafts and do not need push rod oiling. What I have done on both Isky and Morrel bushed lifters is plug the upper hole in the lifter body that feeds the push rod cup with JB weld. It works fine, never have had it fail.

intake is DP4B with 850 T-quad.
cam is racer brown SSH-25 in straight up.
ignition is factory points system, which i plan to upgrade at some point. the curve has been modified so i can run 16* initial and 33 total. i can re-do the curve to run 18* initial and 34* total. i have also played with the vacuum advance so cruising rpm [roughly 3000rpm @ 65mph] gets pretty reasonable mileage with non-alcohol 91 octane.
car runs pretty good now, but i feel it could be better.
as no tracks are closer than 2hours+ from here, i will be using a Dragy to track performance.
could this combo even come close to the 12 second bracket ?
thanks to those that are way more knowledgeable than me with this subject.

I'm thinking 5:13 or 5;38 rear gears would help a bunch as long as it is a "local only " car, not a long distance (+300 mile one way car) cross country type car work twocents

My opinion: Holes let fumes evaporate after engine shut off. Many older carbs have holes like that.

What can you tell me about the performance level I'm at?

Two Mopar .509's that are no longer any good pushes me away from flat tappets unless someone has a way to make them live. Yes I ran a zinc additive. I'm not running a "stock" police cam in this. While on the subject it's not that large of a price difference from flat tappet to roller.

Also Crane "made" is past tense so do they make it now or no?
Didn't Crane Cams go B.K. several years ago and close up after Harvey Crane died?


I sure can't find a website or listings for anything Crane cam. So I'm guessing they're as defunct as AMC

I think those motors were Green in the Chrysler cars those years shruggy confused


1968 440,440 hp,, 383, 383hp were Turquoise
Which brand car and what part of the year where they made?
I remember looking at 383 Road Runners and Chargers with 383 in the R.R. and both 440 HP and 330 HP 383 in 1968 Chargers that were factory orange engine colors in late 1968: confused:

On the street, with no burnout, I don’t think it’s going to be close to happening. It either needs to dead hook with a looser converter than what you’ve got, or it needs to mph really well (like 110+) to make up for the lack of traction on unprepped roads. I’m guessing low 14’s, maybe high 13’s, but you’ll be having fun and that’s the whole point!

The big three need to make a Robust, well designed powerful NA V8s that will last with common sense Prev maint.


Thought Toyota came out and stated that the engines weren't cleaned properly and when assembled had metal shavings in them causing most of the issues.

I have an extra 8 3/4 out of a challenger and I'm wondering what it's worth. It's a 3.23 non sure-grip.

FHO says run two .060 restrictors at rear of block to prevent oil pressure issues.

Hmmm ??? At the back of the block will only restrict oil to one bank of lifters since the main passage from the pump is at the front of the block. Could he have meant restrictors in the passages up to the rockers - that makes more sense on a "full time oiling" block.

This Fury is cool. The guy probably is trying to recoup his money, but
the car is really nice regardless of the situation. I love big two door C bodies, especially one's with hidden headlights, and
funky (different) interiors/ vinyl tops. It's unique and would draw a crowd, when finished, as opposed to another boring E body.
