New 318 roller cam setup
IMO, those motors are greatly under-appreciated.
If you do your homework, you find all sorts of positive build features.
Didn't know about the moly rings- that's cool!
I bought a running, driving 87 FA as a parts car a couple of years ago for $450.
While doing the research, I found myself going "that's cool" many, many times.
Those 302 heads are good parts too, just need bigger valves.
They are low cc and good quench, which means you can run more compression.
That motor is 9:1 from the factory. (and I think 175-185 NET HP)
Anyone have a good roller cam/lifter combo that can be used without any other mods?
Maybe a spring replacement, but no machine work?
That FA is still yeilding parts for my 73 and 74 Chargers (2 bolt M/C and booster, P/W motors, cruise control, and gas tank mounts[I think the 6 way power seat track will work, too]), and gave it's disk brakes to my 66 Coronet.
