Here's the easy way to do it. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/mopp_0409_318_engine_build/viewall.html

Sounds like you're doing it right except the cam....I would run something in the 250+ at .050" range in a solid....roller if you can afford it. If you want big power you need to spin it to 7000+ And make sure the heads are ok....they tend to crack

Yes, if your rod bearings are not chamferred, they need to be.

Hughes! Comp talked **** about everyone else's aluminum roller rockers while they sold their craptastic iron rockers and now they say they have miraculously figured out how to make them out of aluminum CORRECTLY??? Really? I have first hand experience with their magnum iron rockers....and...

That's a 6800 rpm cam and it doesn't start pulling until 2600. At least 3.91 gears with short tires will be needed. 243/251 @ .050" and .546"/.566" lift 2600-6800 rpm Springs should have 130 pounds of seat pressure with 1.7" installed height. Lunati is correct in telling you to change...

You run whatever type of cam you want to, just make sure the valve springs match.

While the prices have gone up, they were never cheap. Mopar crates have always been way over-priced. Those of us who can build our own are fine...those that can't need to deal with reputable builders....like Bob Mazzolini in SoCal. http://www.bobmazzoliniracing.com/

The aluminum rockers from comp are supposed to be good. If you bolt on the stamped steel you can't adjust. If you have the correct pushrods you can try it but I don't think it's your rockers that are the problem. I would check and play with preload first.

Man, just call Clay Smith and tell them you want a 308/.525" solid for that thing and don't look back! http://claysmithcams.com/ [email protected] Clay Smith Cams 5870 Dale Street Buena Park, CA 90621 714-522-3301 Which rockers do you have? The aluminum rollers?

So true...I've got some very nice custom chro-mo push rods...assorted lengths and brand new...:-D:bootysha::snakeman:

I have a factory roller 5.2 from an 85 New Yorker that I may turbo...

By reshape you mean gasket match to the top and sides?

Are you in SoCal? Even if you're not, call Clay Smith. They can hook you up with the perfect cam for your set-up. I like a solid flat tappet but a hydraulic may work for you. What headers are you running? Hooker Super Comps are 1 5/8" for A-bodies. For CUSTOM CAMS email or call...

solid flat or roller in all my old stuff...love em!

Did your 327 have a 4 inch stroke? What kinda lifters? Lightweight valvetrain? and WTF is "meh"????

IMO, boring is to clean up the cylinder bore. Increase your cubes with stroke. If you are going for max cubes, you're probably going for max power...thin walls aint good for that. And I was going by memory on the chevy ratio...either way, it aint good.

Someone asked the rod ratio of a small block chevy...it sux at 1.52 (350) The head gasket issue with a big overbore comes from block flex. As stated, that problem is pretty much eliminated with good hardware and mls gaskets. As stated, running hot can be fixed with a good cooling system.

It's hydraulic...6200 is it, but you will know...when you feel it start to lay over at the top of 2nd, you just passed it.

yup

Bore and sleeve the damaged cylinder and then hone all 8 for $300...is what he's sayin. If the cylinder is beyond .040" overbore, get another block. They are plentiful.

I cut and welded one a while back....buy new, you're better off.

Why would he have to change his rockers to run a flat tappet hyd cam in that engine? I think all you need is the cam, lifters, pushrods and valve springs. The 340 intake will have bigger intake ports than the 318 heads.

HSS (high speed steel), cobalt, and carbide are different drills, each progressively harder. Slow speed applies to all steels, the harder the slower, so stainless (depending on which one) can be drilled a bit faster than others. WD-40 does work but a real cutting oil is better. Hopefully you...

Good to know!

money, you can use custom parts that were originally designed for a sbc, but you really need to know what you're doing. Best bet is to decide what you want based on your needs and your wallet and go from there. If you are not gonna stroke it then the smaller journals don't do anything for ya...

3.91" is a 318 stock 4.040" is a 340 stock You have a 318 and want to stroke it or ??
