Holy hog out Batman! Looks great Greg. Good job, saved yourself some coin there!

Hyd cam?

I’m no wizard at the HP guessing games myself. We just get how stuff is put together and works. FWIW, do not consider a W5 as an exotic part. They are like an aluminum W2 w/rectangle ports. It has the same attachment to the block as a standard head and slightly wider intake holes which are...

A lot of that is also the parameters of the test engine and the cylinder heads. What Rich showed was really good IMO and probably saved a lot of guys some money. But it is not always the case. Much of it is in how the cylinder head flows and where it stops flowing more at higher and higher...

Crazy? No. It’s a bit of a stretch but if the engine size and combo are conducive with a high rpm ability of all the parts on/in it, I’d guess there would be a few people out there that could make it happen. I don’t see many motor heads achieving this alone. The thing is, the rough rule of...

The below is the reported flow numbers by Hughesengines. Be aware of the flow bench they use which can be found at there site. Not all flow benches flow the same. They should be a tool used to show before and after work is done and not matched against another type or kind of flow bench including...

That 222 @050 is an excellent street cam size

I e run a similar camshaft and that cam is usable with a OEM converter. 3.55’s are good. It made power to 5K on my LA 318 w/stock heads

Oh! For what it’s worth, if my wife’s 360, I have a Comp Hyd roller cam that is 224° of duration at .050 lift. While some could it waste to install trick flows on top, I also added 1.6 rockers for a higher than .570 lift. The Barracuda has 3,55’s on 26” tires, a 904 with a custom stall...

The crate engine peaks at 5400 because of the stock cylinder heads. If you put them out the larger volume will increase the RPM ceiling. I do believe the small cam will be much more enjoyable for the street. Depending on how well the head supported, I don’t really see an issue with peeking at...

Thats the main idea. Thats what needs to be done, thats what your supposed to be doing. That part of the statement sounds like that’s a problem. Or a draw back hurting drivability or something. A good modern quality converter will not be a draw back or leave you with a miserable dread spot...

At the stock compression of the engine, I’d call it OK. I’d rather see another point of compression myself. It’s not the end of the world though. The 380/360 engine, much like what’s being built here, the key for performance is a properly stalled converter, gears & tire size that also work with...

I like and suggest clay. Play-do is a bit more pliable. The reuse of the OEM gasket for checking purposes is fine. I’ve reused head gaskets over and over. A new one is always a good bet. Cometic can get you the thickness you want if it is not commercially available. I check without gaskets...

Always check piston to valve clearance just to make sure that you didn’t screw up the cam installation. The actual valve lift, while a concern is more of a troublesome thing even with low lifts, because the cam is installed by mistake 2 or 4 degree off by way of a multi slot crank and/or can...

Oh! The 3000 stall will work with a 230 at 50 hydraulic roller cam.

The stock magnum heads do have a flow limitation, and a lift where they start giving up. Find the video I was talking about. A slightly hot a cam would be the ticket in my opinion. And don’t be afraid of lift, however, let’s not go crazy. To be honest! Finding a copy with something very similar...

Now that I think about it, contact Hughes Engines and get their trick spring and lifter kit, which allows for more than 500 lift. Check out Charlie Servedio on YouTube and scroll down to where he does work on Magnum heads. I myself appearing a video with him on Magnum heads and then later on...

I think you’re going to be (IMO at least) 20 hp short with the 1408 cam and stock heads. Referred to the Mopar crate engine for guidance. They listed as a 380 horse 360 with a larger can and a single plane. I wouldn’t use the single plane since the RPM will perform as well with a lot more...

Yea and yes, Charlie flowed them and there is a video on them at Charlie’s YouTube channel. Yea

I own a set of the Hughes BM heads. The problem is they murdered the ports floor for high lift flow which sacrificed low end flow. The numbers I got from flow bench testing are higher than member @RAMM reports but less than Hughes states. These heads are best used as intended, race only. These...

A cooler is a plus for sure but also another spot for leaks and seepage. The one draw back that annoys me, a lot.

That’s the main idea. IIts the start of one. It doesn’t unless there is a need for more than 7 to 7500 rpm. The MP mod for oiling is well laid out and take you far. Going further is documented here as well. Enlarging all the oil passages as well as smoothing the walls and blending the corners...

@thecatsfan KB-191 is a 3.58 crank stroke slug not usable with a 319 & a 3.31 stroke crank. The OP should use the slugs he has and let the machinist do his work fitting them in the new bored out cylinders of equal height and use the appropriate gasket thickness to achieve what he needs as...

Cool. Same spread in years with my eldest kid, my daughter. She’s 30 now. Yea man! That’s messed up. You would probably have to give a monologue of what’s going on and the safety precautions taken to keep him and yourself safe.

What mufflers? I also didn’t realize you are so young! LOL

Edelbrock Performer with the Holley 570. Though I myself would use a 600 cfm carb. An Edelbrock or a Holley 600 will perform the same at this level.

Whoa, um, huh? I ah, I mean errrr, I’m tryin to ummm, well it’s kind of like a ummm, whaaaaaaat?!?! Yea but like, but, so it’s a - a thing, twisted and slightly curvy-ish while being yet some how inverted but not installed backwards?

The 5.9 I am using came out of my daughters Durango w/80,000. You can’t hear **** inside a Durango. I never heard a blessed thing with the hood up while it was running n the Durango but it also had that massive and noisy fan. Now that it’s in my ‘79 Magnum, I hear a super faint lifter tick and...

Lifter preload must be more than .010 and I would not exceed .060 though there is more on that lifter. It’s also not unusual to here a Magnum roller lifter lightly tick. Swapping lifters until there is t a tick is a big PIA - IMO but rather cheap to do since it’s an inexpensive lifter vs a...

Madhouse torque while retaining reasonable HP as has been demonstrated here and elsewhere before. This set up can also be found in the winner circle of various countrywide circle tracks. There is a lack of high performance dual plane intakes for the W2. The factory offering (on his engine) and...
