MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi
AJ,
Lots of fun facts to digest.
The 360 is a LA indeed.
Used it with 1.6 rockers at first but went to 1.5 Cranes later.
Quench height is around .028-.030".
I ran the cam with hydraulic lifters converted to solids as the hydraulic lifters kept collapsing. A cam change might be in the works in the future, maybe even aluminium heads, but I want to get the mileage to an 'acceptable' level first. This probably means "fixing" the transmission.
Ignition timing on the engine is fully digital, so I can enter any ignition advance at any RPM and load/vacuum range.
The ignition table has 16x16 cells.
Currently I'm running max. 32° at 2800rpm at high load/WOT, and max 42° at no load/high vacuum.
Part throttle driving is generally around 30°.
The current cam 'really' starts to work from around 2250 rpm when floored and pulls nice and strong. Especially compared to the bone stockish 318ci I had before.
