67' Barracuda 273 (Camshaft Results at the Track)
Johnny Mopar,,,,,,,,
The 273 block was decked to NHRA Specifications.
The top of the Piston Dome is {+.0129} above the block deck.
The JE Lightweight Pistons, had the valve pockets fly-cut by our Bridgeport Milling
Machine, to provide for clearance up to a .530 Lift Camshaft.
The block deck surface was 'O-Ringed' (B-H-J 'O-Ring' Cutter).
We are using 'old and original' Chrysler Performance thin metal head gaskets (.020" Thickness)
that have been sprayed with 'copper-coat'. We had '5-sets' of them sitting in a cardboard
box for 40+ years.
No leaks, and no blow-outs between the cylinders.
Next Camshaft to go in,,,,,,,Racer Brown ST-12 (.480 Lift / 292* Duration)
