A friend ran a low compression 400 with a fairly large cam, and it ran good. The car also had an 8" converter, and 4.88:1 gears, so it's not a dog when operating at 4,000+ RPM Reminds me of Mopar Muscles' 400 HP 318 with no dyno numbers below 3,000 RPM, but at 3,000 RPM torque was 332, and jumped 44 ft/lbs to 376 @ 3,500 RPM?

446acuda, THANKS so much for scanning that article. It made it much easier for me to read! That is such a cool combo. You can really tell where the aftermarket parts were directed to at that time. Lots of production/used parts that were readily available on a budget got into the mix. An 8&1/4 rearend with an 11 sec motor!! Cast iron intake, factory converter, a TQ, and the old garden variety (used to hold up your tomato plant) MP 484 and 509 bumpsticks!! Doesn't seem like anyone would dare to leave home with a set-up like that today! Got a similar pkg to pull together for a J-body here at the moment.

This is the direction I'm going with my 67 Coronet: smog 400, ported stock heads heavily milled for some compression, 509 cam, M1 single plane, 4.10 gears and a hi stall. Cheap way to get a decently quick car
