Critique my mismatched Teen Build.
Teedog i run the 268 solid in my 318 but i run the EQ magnums heads 1.6 rollers very nice cam idles @ 750 in gear with some lope very strong mid to top end power ,you will need to run min 3.55 rear end and a min 2500 stall, not the **** off the shelfs but one made for your combo,get your dizzy curved.everything got to match to make it work right.Listen to rusty he know his stuff.
How angry does the little Teen sound with that Solid Xs268s cam?
As a step up from the Xe262 I am now considering the following Comp Cams options.
(Bearing in mind it is not a strip car... but a Feisty Performance Street Cruiser that can scare off a few others when and if required)
Hydraulics :
Xe268 - I have seen people run this cam on the street even without gear and converter upgrades. (Although obviously not ideal without these, hehe)
275deh - Has anyone tried this cam in a 318? Seen a couple of videos that sounded pretty terrible but that doesn't mean much.
Solids :
270s - Fairly small really but guessing would still have some get up and go for the Street.
Xs268s or Xs274s - Would both produce plenty of power no doubt. Not sure I would go any bigger at this stage. Xs268s may run with my current single springs, touch and go, Xs274s definitely would require new springs etc... the 270s and both the Hydraulics listed above would not require a spring change I believe.
Would anyone recommend a Mopar Performance Cam for this build?
'I did have a quick look through the Crane Cams Catalogue for solids but all seem to be asking for much more Comp Ratio than I am running.'
Ok.. I guess I have some thinking to do now. Decisions to be made.
Loving how my initial 'Moderate Streeter' build has progressed to this point. Can't wait to Cruise this Baby again, been off the road for too long.
Thankyou all for your help and advice. Tonnes of Awesome Mopar Knowledge here.
Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Teedog
