The AMX I have been racing in SS/HA is a 390 ci , Carter AFB 525 cfm 4 bbl and at 3100 lbs I have gone a best of 10.21 on the 10.90 index. I am usually the slowest SS/HA car, I would think you can get the Duster quicker than that. My min. weight is 3020 lbs, so I am working over the winter to lighten up and try to get the car quicker.

.200"____109.0________________________112.0

.500"____166.3________________________187.3
.550"_________________________________188.4
.600"_________________________________189.5

Same ports, roughed in to see what it takes to get air through them.
Exhaust will go over 200 with a little more work. Again, I'll stick with
the LA. The Magnum, in my opinion, would work good on a "Limited"
no-porting rule dirt tracker or low lift cam, low-buck street engine.
Porting these intake ports, is not fun.

Vic,
did you CC that intake runner?

they dont give you much to play with at all with the LA heads.

i did a VERY minor clean up on a 596 head, still used a tulip 1.88 valve.......barely flowed like 230cfm(flowed 195-ish OOTB with OE valve and OE VJ).....and it was 165cc's.......or, 5 cc's too big to be legal in SS.

what are some of the other magnum head casting numbers?
i didnt see a "466" on the approved NHRA list.

I did not cc the runner on this Magnum head. Only trying to see
what all the fuss was on the these things and didn't want to
give an unfounded opinion. So, I ate iron dust for an afternoon
to see. I thought it was decent information to share.

I'll try you at the shop tomorrow.

Have you looked at the old Ryan J ported magnums in the archives section? Looks like he did more work in the bowls and less in the PR pinch and got a little more flow that way. He got a hair more out of a stock set so that has to be considered but still he got around 270 might be worth a try.

I only did this to satisfy what little curiousity I had about the Magnum
heads and now feel as I've educated myself well enough to stick with
what I'm used to.

Despite the lack of "shine", I was pretty thorough and don't see this port
getting much better. An R/T head might be a different story but, as a
Super Stock head, I see a few disadvantages if these were legal.

Interesting about the intakes. My good friend Jay Sanders had a chebbie intake on his 318 in a GT/KA Daytona several years ago. He stated that there was such a lack of good intakes at the time for the Mopars. I think the M1 was the cream of the crop at that particular time. I got one of his highly modified Strip Dominators still out in the garage. Ran great with the TQ and 4 inches of spacer on the car for many years.

How about the 89 360 308 head for a low compression 340 or 360? Seen a few low compression motors in in SS/JA...

You might want to look into a GT class if you are thinking of running in SS. A lot of the Daytona/Sebring and Stratus cars run a 318/4 bbl combo and run really well. Might be worth it to run same engine in an "A" body.




My neighbor Joe E. was running a '68 Dart in IHRA Crate Motor until the class went away. He converted it to an NHRA GT car with the '89 360 308 heads combo. The HP factor is pretty low from what I remember. Ran some 10.20's without much testing. It's still running 9" tires too.

Top Stock went away, not the regular IHRA Crate Motor classes.

Several people are putting a Challenger Drag Pak 360 Magnum into older cars for SS/GT. There were only 3 Challengers ordered with that engine in the first year of Drag Paks.But al it takes is one to make it legal. Soft HP factor so far.
