Your problem isn't with the piston to valve clearance, it's your static compression ratio. If you go to a longer duration cam you will bleed off too much compression and then you actually make less power. Every cam has a suggested static compression ratio. If you go above it your motor will...

Yes, and that is why I was thinking the rpm range going up to 6500 is not a great plan.

I didn't address your first question...revving to 6500...I'd say yes. The question is, do you need to?

They (should) design the cams for the heads, compression, exhaust, intake, vehicle weight, gears and trans type. If you contact Clay Smith they will want all of that info to give you the best cam for your set-up. Generally speaking, upping the lift and/or duration on the exhaust side helps...

Man, it's night and day! I will never run a hydraulic again! You should contact Clay Smith in SoCal. Give George your specs and he will get everything you can out of that build and you will only need a cam. No need to change your head gaskets. I can't say enough about how great these people are...

If I were going to cheap out with the Chinese rockers I would probably use 440source rockers. http://store.440source.com/Rockers-Arms-Shafts-Misc-Hardware/products/50/ The black ones from KMJ are a copy of the steel comps...which suck imo. The Lunati cam should be fine. Which one...

cool.....

and the next engine you build, take the time with a die grinder and remove all casting flash. That is most likely why you can't get the lifter out. It helps with oil drain back too! Desert Rat, call Clay Smith Cams and tell them what you have and he'll tell you what you need! Ask for George...

All it could do, maybe, is add turbulence....

+ me........... adjust/rebuild/tune....then....maybe.....drill the throttle blades...I have never had to go beyond the first 3!

What have some of you been playin' with? Worrying about a 340 spinning past what? 6800? LOL

625 cfm, most likely

Good stuff! Alan, 68 SS darts and barracudas run 8's on SS leaf springs!

B1 heads?

its because you have to use specs.... specks dont work right! LOL ...and that thing can make 500 but it needs the heads and it needs good valvetrain set up correctly. Whats "big" and your heads are stock 2.02"/1.60"?

Mine is currently on the column, Sunpro. I am going to do a complete custom gage install later. These Glow Shift gages are nice and the price is right. I have three of them in my Neon. http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/

I think the KRP's are the ones that Johnny Fever used to run!:argue:

:-DMaybe 1wildandcrazyguy could buy some and give us a report on them....

They require quite a bit of torque to seal because of the wide part. If the right amount of torque is applied, it should not leak. No sealant required.:burnout: P.S. A later model car like a late 80's Diplomat used an aluminum adapter. Much lighter than the iron one.

They had to, they were made to fly at high elevations. I don't know about you, but i'm pretty close to sea level! The aircraft engines were always revving so there was no issue of turbo lag. This is a concern on the street. A motor with decent bottom will spool the turbos quick.

You will have to play with tuning. A A/F ratio gage is real nice for this.

If he had three more of them and a used flywheel, you could weld them all together and make a cool little for your garage!

Did he have any more of them?

Check this write-up....completely explains pretty much all the 318 stuff we've been talkin' about......go figure....we're right! It's almost like we've been doin' this stuff for a while! They even used the cam you are talking about! http://www.geocities.com/alwest_83/318.html

Go back to the swap meet and get your money back.

That is extreme! Extremely mild!:-D

OK, it's 211/218 at .050" lift, .410"/.425" lift and is a 1000-5000 rpm cam. Me personally, I would rather have the P4452782. it's 228/235 and .429"/.444" and turns idle to 5800.....muscle car repro cam

Those are advertised, what is it at .050" lift?

Yeah! You must be one of those high speed hand swappin' typers....I saw a piano player doing that once...never a typer! LOL
