I would measure what you have, I bet that 318 is closer to 7.5 on compression.

Think the Hughes cams are ground by Howard’s which is Competition Products. Chrysler SB 273-360 '65-'95, 318 '67-'95 Cams Downloads | Howards Cams Here is the lobe list. The cost of a custom ground vs a off the shelf is 20 bucks more. Only thing may be delivery time. There is lobes they grind...

Oregon Cams won't steer you wrong! I think you have a nice build

Where to start... It was a general statement why I would pick a 383 over a 360 having daily driven Factory A-Bodies with a 383 and a 340. The "seems to be a long-standing, common knowledge in a Mopar world" is actually a long standing common misconception. As for the extra weight it really...

The cams are different. The 318 roller will be more lift and mag is more lift @.432+ than the stock 5.9 stock cams that were only .410-416 lift based on a 1.6 The rt magnum cams were more lift than the reg stock mag 5.9 stock cams @.434+or something like that.. but with a diff duration than the...

That would be a good test. There sure seems to be a lot if negativity about a 318 not being able to handle a 340 cam. No bottom end and at least a converter to make it work. Is it really that big of a pooch from say idle to 3500 rpm or is it just nobody knows how to tune a 2 barrel and...

Just looked it up and confirmed 318 la roller cams are 240/.391. Factory la 360s are 252/.410.

Yes from my understanding the larger 318 cams came out of the 5.2 magnum engines not roller 318s

Oh LAWD! The timing covers on all the early polys and hemis were just dreadfully HEAVY. Especially the Chrysler Firepower truck motors. I just BET by swapping over to the Hot Heads cast aluminum timing cover and the Big Chevy aluminum water pump that I got rid of 75 pounds off the front of that...

Why? My thinkin is the 318 is down on cubes and the bump in cylinder pressure from the 108....or even a 106 that I would consider would be of benefit. Splain what I'm missin pleeze.

I'd do the exact opposite. THe 110 will lose torque and gain hp. 360 will make more torque than the 318 with the same cam. THe 108 will also help raise his cylinder pressures.

I was wanting to keep my automatic trans but I will swap to manual if needed It would just factor into the engine cost. I rebuilt the auto a few months back after I burned it up with better clutches. I just want around 450 horsepower. And I want the tires a lot more meaty.

Well, at least you got it right with the cam! Howards Cams, Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft, Chrysler SB 273-360/318, 208/214 @ .050, .479/.494, 110 LS - Competition Products I would probably order one while the ordering is good. Last time I checked, cam cores weren't exactly raining out of the...

My eyes bled out, I'm in tears from your AJ like post. :D

here they are, the howards is a 110lsa, the -10 on the cam number indicates taht i think. Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft; 1964 - 2003 Chrysler 273, 340, 360 1400 to 4800 Howards Cams 711381-10 | Howards Cams Lunati - 112 lsa Voodoo Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam - Chrysler 273-360 253/258

I agree with this post ^^^^

I like that .464/.464 cam, since it'll never really see the high side of 5600. Thanks for the suggestions!

I am hopefully about to be purchasing a 273 Commando engine that I plan on installing into a 65 Barracuda Formula S. I plan on doing a complete restoration on the Formula S, but I want to do some engine upgrades to the Commando engine such as Cam, Heads, Intake. I know alot of people are going...

Use what ever head you have. If I had to choose from the verity of 318 heads ready to run on a table, it would be 302’s. Use a piston that can get you some good quench. That might be a problem with the various cc amount of the 318 heads. Generally there all a closed chamber. The stock cam is...

I'd almost go .525 or more lift if it's a solid lifter cam. Heck my 318 magnum dirt track engine was going to get a .550+ lift hydraulic cam that Jim at Racer Brown custom specced, it's for pretty much a bone stock 318 with pistons flipped, home head porting and a good airgap/stromberg wwc 2...

3.55’s on 26 inch tires destine to cruise on the Hwy. OK then! We are getting somewhere! Basic cam Ed; The duration will dictate the rpm in which the cam is designed to operate the engine. There’s advertised duration and duration @.050, which is the compare standard in which to compare various...

People dont talk about these much but they really wake up a stock 2 bbl 318, and you use your stock cam and intake manifold. Saves a lot of tear down with good results for those that want a simple performance boost without opening up a can of worms. Edelbrock 1406 is jetted perfect for the...

Sorry coach, duration. Basically an "RV" cam but today the shelf cams tend to be ground with either 110° or 112° LCA. According to David Vizard's 128 formula to calculate cam LCA and considering a 1.88" intake valve, optimum for the stock stroke 318 would be about 105° LCA. Idle may be a bit...

The problem George is that those durations are only useful for comparing with other Chrysler cams. We've discussed this in some threads with @Wyrmrider @crackedback and maybe @krazykuda Chrysler, even in their promotional stuff and DC tech bulletins always put that out there. They never realy...

When I first used the 360-2 cam in a 318, I looked like and hard at the comp 252 and the stock 360-2 cam specs the stock cam in a few years worth of Mopar factory service manuals and specs found in catalogs both paper and online versions (such as summit/jegs websites) and it's been a while...

Change the heads, for 2 reasons...195k so the guides n exhaust are toast and 2 they don't flow all that well on today's terms. Carb and headers. Done. The cams are decent in the 318 ,like .432 or so on the intake and .441 exhaust, the rt cam is a .436/.444 lobe. I have one and measured it to...

There has been a bunch of good advice merely mentioned in the previous threads. Brief mentions often get glossed over. First, I want to repeat the great advice already given merely to reinforce the importance. MOPAROFFICIAL suggested using Magnum heads. Box stock they will out-flow a really...

well, heads are critically important to gas mileage, performance, and quick starts. On any engine! A guy can throw all the cams, headers, and 4bbls they want at a 318 but if the valves are leaking and some cylinders are down to dead (like 90 psi), it isn't going to do much.

Thank you for the input. I'm considering going with a smaller cam, like the Comp Cams XE-250/260, XE-252/252, or XE-260/260. I'd probably just buy the whole kit, springs, lifters, chain and all if I don't go with remanufactured heads. Also, just realized pistons are first cheap for these. The...
