    360 Cam suggestions

    solid choice is always a 3/4 race cam baby! pays the money and ride the lightning! all kidding aside, that set up will run well with a fairly broad range of cams from pleasantly stout to fairly wild (if the heads are set up for that amount of lift). personally i'd aim more toward street and...

    Not mine 1967 commando 273 automatic with air fastback Barracuda (rough) but there.

    in my travels, i recall seeing a very very original and complete "new car package" or, basically what was given to the new owner, like all the dealer key chain and mopar propaganda promo materials and other such bits n' bobs. amongst that stuff was a small package of wastebin bags that were...

    Not mine 1967 commando 273 automatic with air fastback Barracuda (rough) but there.

    i think it's a little waste bin. i want to say they were optional or a dealer kick in on some early 70's cars?

    transverse bars? those are only in the deep dark woods of FMJ stuff the spool mount came in 73 with the front suspension redesign, but everything essentially remained the same, just with a little more room all around (redesigned centerlink).

    ounces add up to pounds. you do enough of the little stuff and reap bigger rewards. say running the smaller smaller journal lets you run a smaller bearing, that heats less, which means you can run it harder, longer or at a higher rpm without failure and it has less parasitic loss. it might be...

    that's a super bummer. i've been quite pleased with anything i've ever bought that you designed and i'd love if there was more trick small block stuff. but i understand completely. make a $60 alternator kit and everybody bitches about about it and then wind up paying $40 for some shitty repop...
