The “intended use” dictates several of the decisions...... including the cam.

The intake, cam, carb, headers can easily move the number from under 600...... to over 700....... from the same basic long block.


That's correct. My 11:1 CR with a Dwayne Porter cam made 713 hp and 709 torque for my street/strip motor. Max HP rpm was around 6000 rpm. 505 CI.


Those are great numbers 👍. How much camshaft? I’d like to stay at .650 lift or less and a lobe that doesn’t eat springs.
I also have the trick flow intake for it. May take some creativity to port match.
Can I make similar numbers with a hydraulic roller? Or will it require a solid roller?
I want something that can go 40 mile trips and maybe go 4-5k miles before swapping springs
And rebuilding lifters.


Mine is under .650 lift. Talk to Dwayne. I run the Mopar 337 intake.

My experience with hydraulic roller = DON"T!
