I'd like to put a really nasty sounding hydraulic cam in it, and bolt on a LD 340 intake I have and a 650 Holley. I'd add 4.10 gears and cruise. It is a 4 speed. Just curious if folks still use him.

He uses them in most Mopar engines that he builds. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Had one on order from Howards that they kept pushing the shipping date back. After waiting 9 months for the shipping date to finally arrive they pushed it back another 3 months. He called Racer Brown and had the cam in like 2-3 wks.

With a little head massaging, bigger valves, pocket work and seat improvements, they were a big help with that cam, (in those days) LOL Joe
