318 timing chain.....and why the engine should come out.

Damn.....just when you think your getting a grasp in this stuff....

You learn that you don’t know a damn thing.

Short ramps.....Chevy grinds.

Mopar performance differences..

I was set on the xe262.

The main reason was that it had a good bump in performance with the nice idle sound.
I listened to the 250 stuff and it sounded stock. While this car is mainly for grocery getting. I still like that tad bit of aggression from it. So the 250 anything is out.

Which leaves the 260.....to what??
265 range.

I don’t want to change the 2.76:1 gears because I already hate the high rev on the highway.

Dont want tUp the compression....not right now anyway. I like 87 pump gas

And run a dead stock converter......which would be converted to a Manual if more power were added.

So I’m really looking for something right on the edge of the biggest I can get with that. I figured it was low 260.

However....finding a good used cam limits that.
Because realistically I don’t need something new.....
