Cam Swap - 318/5.2L Magnum V8 - '65 Barracuda

If you are going to put a new motor in your car you need to think about optimizing the combo for intended use.

Happy with my new combo, 12.32/108.77 1.746 60' running rich at 11.7 thru the trap.
67 Dart 2dr post all steel guessing 3360 full fuel and driver. 2 buckets, small custom dash, squirrel cage fan for comfort and door panels is the basic interior.
360 Magnum roller, 9.3:1 was 8.8:1 from factory with .040 head gasket, OEM magnum heads milled .010, .028 head gasket, stock valves, MP crate motor springs, ported by me at home.
Knockoff airgap, demon 650 DP, Lunati roller steel core custom grind 234/236 .495/.475 lift. 108 LSA/106 ICL Cam was picked to match the street/strip package I wanted. Idles at 11" vac in gear and sounds cool but I always pick a cam for the intended power band.
999 low gear set, TF2 shift kit Lockup circuit disabled, Turbo Action 10" 3200-3400, 3.91 SG, 27in MT drag radial, Mancini SS springs, 8.75 axle moved back .75", battery in trunk.
Car is a blast, very street friendly with 29" street tires and driven 50 to 100 miles to the track.
I'm still messing with optimum A/F ratio and launch rpms. Car also runs great on 89 fuel.

Stock magnum springs are very soft and my installed height was 1.62" The MP springs work great. I cut my guides down to maintain .050" retainer to VG seal clearance.

I could have had my stock cam reground but decided to sell it and have a Lunati Custom roller grind. It was $310 to my door and I was able to reuse the stock pushrods and lifters.
