Performance is not really about compression ratio; rather it is about cylinder pressure. You can install any number of different cams into a 9.5 Scr engine and get pressure ranging from in the basement to in the attic. For a streeter; The pressure is what makes a snappy street engine. That...

Yea the 107 centerline advances it about 5* but to err on the side of keeping this as good as it can for what I actually have, I was going to look at advancing it several degrees more. obviously a newer cam would be the ultimate answer. But yes determining what converter I have and what I need...

If your going to just keep the cam and add parts to be used as is for now, the Edelbrock cylinder head will work just fine. Do so make sure you have a stall converter to allow the engine to perform best with the cam and your rear gear ratio as well should be part of the combination. Also as...

Some companies do have compression and gear suggestions. I know this isn't your only cam thread. You apparently gave up on the confusion in the last thread. Like Ott said, there is no magic cam for a stock 318. If you are building a car and start fresh with a engine build, you will need the...

and each and every guy that actually put a 340 cam in a 318 has spoken - and all responses were positive and a gain of power.

Hi maby a stupid question but can you use a hyd flat tap cam and lock the lifters or run whid solid lifters if you go whid adj rockers iv onley used roller cams in my race car as long as i can remeber but now im building a 318 Street engine or do i have to go all mec even the cam

I'm in the market for a used hydraulic roller cam for a small block. I did order a custom grind camshaft from Racer Brown back in October but Jim Dowell the man that grinds the cams went to the hospital and I'm assuming I won't be getting the cam anytime soon. I need to start assembling my 318...

As to the carb(s) I can almost guarantee you that your throttles were too far closed, and the transfer-slots had gone to sleep. This almost always happens when guys try to run too much Idle-Timing. The cure is embarrassingly simple; just increase the curb idle screw adjustment to open the...

I am the same way keep an extra carb or three, intakes dual and single plane play around see where the best performance gain is a mix of street strip etc. I want to send a vintage Crane SSH 320 I have laying around out for a regrind, I recall it had a pretty aggressive idle and lift etc. I...

Does anyone grind decent poly cams anymore?

I can make a cam recommendation but I need a bunch of information that is not given or in stone. Am I looking at a cam for a 318 or a 390 or both. Bad news, you really can’t have your cake and eat it with a camshaft for two different engines. I gotta run and start the day. Give me and us all...

Thanks a lot! I will print this and think of everything you mentioned. I appreciate this.

Bewy I will correct you. I have known you for close to forty years or more ! I do not deny that a tighter lobe seperation makes more power! What I am saying is it makes for a terrible lumpy driver of a car especially a manual. As you have always seen I like manuals and back in the seventies when...

That's as good a reason as any! I'd get a bigger/better rear end under it first. Mostly because that one isn't likely to last, obviously. Personally, I would also do efi. Mostly because it's quicker and easier (for me) to make changes as other things get tweaked (like stall, exhaust, etc)...

Throttle response; as to the bad stuff; >If you got a low-stall 727, forget throttle response, there is so much flywheel there, a 273 can barely turn it. >If you got small-port heads and a 2-bbl, forget throttle response. the air just can't get in. >If you got a tiny low-lift cam, or yur...

1) the 3.9 was carbureted 1 year only, '87 model with a 2bbl. 2) Mopar did offer 4bbl intakes, cams, & headers. Even HP heads iirc. Eddy also offered items for them. Pistons, valves, springs etc. all shared with the 318 as mentioned. 3) Magnums are the same as any other Magnum V-8 swap. 1st...

Hey guys, I just picked up a super clean ‘83 Ramcharger with its original 318 locked up. It came with a somewhat recently rebuilt 318 out of a ‘90 Ramcharger. I haven’t torn into them yet, but plan on resealing the ‘90 while it’s out. The ‘90 had factory EFI with an electric fuel pump, and had a...

superstock64polara, I am with dibbons. The 318 was a 48K take out from a 70 Coronet (free)that was getting a Big Block. Bottom end is stone stock. Edelbrock 600 along with the performer intake with the 318 size ports. I went with a Comp Cams 268H-10 cam and matching valve springs.Mancini timing...

When the local stock car tracks around here went with create engines for 350's they dyno'd a bunch of stockish mopar combo's and had a hard time getting the hp down equal to the Chev's they end up added 150 pounds to the dodgers plus lesser mod's and my cousin could still pull on them out of the...
