    Not knowing anything about your combo...I'd consider this one... PLYMOUTH Howards Cams 718001-09 Howards Cams Rattler Camshafts | Summit Racing With a mild combo it will be a little soft on the low end, but from a 20/25 mph roll, it'll pull like a bear to 5500/5800...

    Thrust issues with AFR gauge and Brawler carb

    Lots of good info above..... I can't believe drivability isn't out the window with a 10 drop in the primaries.

    New setup- 340 based 416, 360 based 387, or 360 based 408?

    Agree, but...... I'd prefer the kit for the rod upgrade and the extra cubes are just a bonus.

    340 or 408?

    Since we're ''off the rails'' and not many 500 plus streetable 340 builds around, why not just copy and paste one of these to a SBM.....:) https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/0811chp-327-small-block-chevy-engine-build/

    340 or 408?

    ''I'd look at 11/1 compression , I'd port my current eddy heads and Victor intake and obviously go Roller cam with more lift and duration'' This.....on the 340. Nuff said. :thumbsup:

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    I doubt the OP is looking for a street killer with his 65'. His original setup with a little bit of cam advance, and a good tune will make a nice street cruiser that sounds good. And probably run some 14's if he really feels the need to lean on it. Yep, i'm one of the old guys that have made...

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    It's a young rebuild so why did you tear it down... Advance the cam, throw as much initial timing that it will take, a duel plane int. would be a must and the shortest tires that still look decent. At least it will drivable and sure sound good. :)

    440 Cam selection help

    If your going hyd. and want to stay with stock rockers, and your willing to put in the time considering the variance of the factory valvetrain, you can get your lifters done then match a lifter/rocker to each valve and measure them all for pushrod length then order the proper individual sizes...

    440 Cam selection help

    With shelf cam availability the way it is today, i'd just order the Oregon grind and use some good lifters. With using stock rockers and single springs, that should fit your application just fine.

    741 open case v 7 1/4 LSD

    The 7.25 sure grip axles were pretty strong for the intended purpose. With that said, anything over 300 pounds of tq with traction will eventually cause issues.

    Power Valve Selection

    My simple response is, put a 6.5 in and forget it. As far as the slight bog, that could be another issue. You may be able to run a little more initial timing and that would help your overall performance. While the stock primary jet sounds small, Some models of Holleys were built that way. Why...

    273 adjustable rockers to stamped.

    As long as those rockers are in good shape, keep what you have. I prefer a light preload...something in the .020/.040 range. Once set, you'll have many miles of trouble free driving.

    318LA/906 SBE build it OR go Big block?

    How long since it last ran. Forget the 440 for now. Try and get what you have running to see where your at. Trans and brake operation, the entire fuel system, electronics, etc. You may find your ''budget'' wont go as far as you think. JMO

    Trimming piston skirts

    In my opinion, weight matching will be more important then the slightly longer skirt.
