360 build. Need advice

Since you asked for advice..............and this is your first Mopar build.

I have some questions and concerns; first question: have you ever tuned a multiple carb set-up before? Duel carbs are great eye candy, however IMHP not really worth the time. Get it right and your golden, get it wrong and you'll be amazed at yourself on how fast you will pull it off.

You said mostly street, with ocasional trips to the strip; you want the engine to run in the upper RPM. Myself, I consider upper RPM 7000 and above. To do that on the street is gonna take deep gears in the back(not very streetable). To make power in that range would require a cam in the neighborhood of 240 degrees at .050 or more, be it hydraulic, solid, or roller.

I thought about a Dakota 5spd myself years ago untill a tranny shop owner told me they are weak, weak to the point a 4cyl could break them, T56 would be better, though it would require tunnel surgery to fit.

TTi's are very good headers, that's a good solid choice.

Mopars are not hard to work on, not signifficantly different than anything else. Just do your home work before you turn a wrench. There is no such thing as being too clean!


Good luck.............
