Ok, it looks like I found my OD/converter lockup switches.
If he had a chebby ....hmmmmm he'd be slooooooow
On that note I ran the specs through Comp cams estimated HP and TQ page and it asked what I wanted out of the car (I selected "good torque and fuel economy") along with some other specifics it asks and low and behold the cam their site suggested was exactly the same specs as the cam I got through Oregon cam grinders.
Don't know why it surprised me, because Rob (RRR) and I talked about this awhile back and he suggested the cam and the supplier.
One thing about the Comp site is it didn't have an option for a 5.9 Magnum roller, but only the 360.
That said, the page showed right at 350hp and 412ft lbs with an operating range of 1,500 to 5,500 I think it said.
Not bad I think, since it'll be pretty much double my 318 hp and tq.
The Hughes springs are a 310 open pressure, have dampers and I didn't even have to get new pushrods as the lifter preload is right at .035 - .040
Also my stage II Transgo kit came in today and I found out that it changes the trans so that you can select any gear manually at any speed.
Kinda glad I have that rat **** shifter now.
Looks like fun, and actually I even have a little anxiety that I'm going to wake up any moment and find out none of this ever happened and I still have a stock 318 in my car. :D
So, about making a 7.25 rear end a permanent locker.
I'm sure it's going to explode anyway and I have a welder.:D
