Are you running stock oiling system components?

...weight flat tops, plus a little work on the induction (portwork in the heads) and some tweaking on the carb, and a ~220-225 ish @ 050" (260-270* total) cam on a 112-114 LSA would make a great daily driver, run on pump gas, and run really well. And should you choose to upgrade later, it'll be...

I like DSS pistons...1.802" CH http://www.dssracing.com/6300X_p/6300x.htm They're in the hole .020" by the math, but you can shave that off the deck. There's also Ross pistons, and I bet Diamond makes a couple great sets. EDIT: 1.70-1.74" CH would put you in the hole by .060-.100"...

Here's some other reading for you: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/search.php?searchid=8009592 ...please read through a few of them...there are several members here who've done the 390 build and with proven results. Again, I'm not saying you need to copy one of them, but you may glean...

The Action Plus might actually hold you back a little bit with the enlarged displacement...even getting it ported may not be enough to match up to the breathing requirements of a 390" engine. You have to keep in mind, you're essentially building a big block displacement engine in a small block...

I stand corrected--I didn't completely view the ad, I saw Edelbrock heads and assumed the standard hydraulic flat tappet versions. All the same, it would pay in the long run to have them looked at by your machinist and make sure there's enough open pressure (the lift limitation is a pretty...

With the split pattern, it should run pretty well IMO...maybe not a fire breather, but I doubt you'll be disappointed-I know this goes without saying, but make sure you degree it in with a quality timing set...

I never said you had to copy someone else's...but if you search through here and read a couple dozen threads on cam selection in stroker engines, it should give you an indication of what cam would work well for your application based on your parts selection and desired outcome. Depending on...

X2^^ Also said nothing about the definition of "weekend warrior" to some that means spending the whole weekend at the dragstrip, to others, cruising the local sonic and pissing off the neighbors with loud pipes. What stall and gear ratio? Tire height? What car/weight?

Mmmm another cam choice thread :)

look up krazykuda-as I recall, he's uses, and is a very big fan of them...

Have you thought about trying Rhoads lifters? Softens the manners a little on the low end but 3500 and up is supposed to remain unaffected. There are a few folks here who love them.

...to save a few $$, if you choose to buy COMP beehives, look for Trick Flows springs with the same part number (different prefix)...they're the same spring made by the same supplier, but with less overhead, so they're cheaper. Ex: Comp beehive springs from summit 26915-16 $176 TFS beehives...

^^ nailed it

...I think Rob was commenting that the exchange above was...unnecessary.

If you're really concerned about it, you probably should have them fly cut...I'd be a little leery of running anything with more than about .480" lift and 270*...but that's just me.

That they are, but they're about the cheapest alternative for a semi-legit shaft mount rocker system on a magnum.

That part, I don't recall, but the low height pistons are available from UEM (silvolite) and I've seen them on eBay from time to time (badger I wanna say)...I think Davebonds has a set he elected not to use...maybe hit him up see if he wants to part with them?

Damn-that'll do! What's this going in?
