I have a '68 Chrysler Newport convertible. 440 forged crank, 727 auto, 3.23 sure grip rear gear with Dr. Diffs Sure-Trac II center section. Car weighs about 4400 lbs. Low compression 440 built in late '72 from an RV with Stealth close chambered heads. I have this Lunati hydraulic roller cam in it:
"Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller. Great mid range torque and power. Likes 2000 RPM stall converter and works great in towing applications with lower gearing. Largest for inboard/outboard performance marine use. ;Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 270/278 ;Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 219/227 ;Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .515/.530 ;LSA/ICL: 110/116 ;Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd ;RPM Range: 1800-5800."
Trying not to break the bank, but don't want junk either. I'm not racing, I just use it as a cruiser, and spirited runs on the freeway, not wasting time getting up to speed...;-). i've found couple of converters so far:
