@318willrun , you said earlier that the summit k50052 cam wasn't your first choice but it fit the budget. What other cams would you have liked to use in this build ?
Glad you asked, I'll be happy to answer it. I would have preferred to use this MP cam. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dcc-4452761ae/overview/
I've ran this cam before and really liked it. But, it would have pushed me over my 499.00 bucks.
Also, I would have cut the heads .030 to make up the difference I lost by putting the Fel pro head gaskets on.... but cutting the heads wasn't in the budget. But hey, I stayed under 499.00 and ran a better speed than any factory '73 340 auto 3.21 ever recorded, and I did it with 2.76 gears, stock converter and no headers. I also ran a better speed than any factory 360 4bbl Duster that I could find.
