Thanks guys. After listening to these they sound quite similar to mine. I wasnt out in the garage much today, but i def will post a nee video as soon as i can so u all can hear it. I love the lopey sound thats what i wanted, just wanted to make sure what i was hearing was norm.

Zippy, when are we going to hear the 572 Hemi?

Here’s my 511 with a 270@50 and oval race mufflers. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xp9rEeuwd5Y&feature=share

Might be a little while yet, buddy.

Somehow I talked myself into more or less restoring the whole car.

I did manage to weld a new roof on it recently which was a good step forward

Emotionally I badly wanted to hear it run but logically It seemed slightly crazy and dangerous at the time to rig it up and fire the 572 on the cherry picker…..so I didn’t Take any video of that last year. Maybe that was in error. I’m pretty sure the neighbors heard it…

I recall it being pretty smooth and tame once I got some advance cranked in.
Lacking a cooling system it was done a couple minutes at a time….

Okay I'm hooked after listening to all the other cars idling.

Merry Christmas everyone

Everybody else is doing it, lol.

This is a 590 cam in a 440, similar duration at 50 as your cam but narrower LSA. I have one light spring in the distributor so the timing is in the 30's at idle. As Dwayne mentioned, increase your idle speed, it isn't good to idle them that low. I'm usually 1200-1300 in neutral for warm idle.

Man u guys cars sound great. I cannot wait ro drive this thing.

Where have you been Rob?

Mally, I did not comment because I cannot open your video but, many others have given good advice INCLUDING raising your idle rpm to insure decent oiling and potentially friendlier dynamics. While everyone has been posting gratuitous LOL! soundbites and vids. It inspired me to add my low compression noise maker WTH... My first motor in this car had about 12.5:1 and a .590DC cam and I loved the way those sounded.

What is your compression? Idk but it sounds pretty good

Thanks! It's 11:1 485" CID roller cam. Probably all wrong as judged by some but, it works pretty good IMO!

Think it's safe to say they all sound just a little better than "OK"

Poor health has been keeping me away,plus I'm really worn out...Hips,Knee's,Shoulder's,Hands all wore out. The 50 plus years of wrenching has taken a toll...

I think it sounds pretty good but I want to hear it revving on up slow and punching it.

Ill try and find another way to upload it or a diff link

Try this. Sound is correct but the video quality is [censored] through youtube. It was all blurry.
