Nice! Iron geared roller cam. Gotta love Crane for that one.
Hummm, and I just put my LD-340 up for sale. What am I thinking?!?!?!Eddy performer right out of the box on my 418 stroker.
511 torque @ 4300 and 480 HP @ 5700
LD340 dual Plane intake with just the MP mod.
Should I pull them off and send them out to get ported? Nahhh. Works fine the way it is. But never say never...
But they put a Super Victor intake on that Blueprint engine that killed ALL the torque but should have added at least a few horses, and it actually did only 439HP on the first pull.It does sound lame for that cam. But that's almost exactly what the engine is rated for from blue print - BPC4083CTC - Chrysler 408 Base Dressed Alum Heads | BluePrint Engines
I would have loved to have seen a couple of things.
Before/After flow rates would have been nice.
A decent look at the port job.
A look at the rockers and maybe a mention of longer pushrods that were probably needed.
I was so curious I messaged Steve and was told the rockers are just a Crane W2 1.6 and flowrates were in the low 300's. I'm also a little surprised the torque does not crack the 500 ft/lb barrier but then again --"that cam". They should take that engine and shim the lifters to short-travel and I bet the ugly shape of it would improve greatly while still using the same camshaft. Then again a nice solid flat tappet would probably unleash an eyebrow raising amount of power. J.Rob

A bit on the fence. PM me for a chat.I saw you are having an online garage sale. Anything else you want to sell...like your W-5 stuff????
IIRC, it was a set of W2's.If I remember right, Dulcich used these heads in an Engine Masters mag a few years ago on a 408 with a solid roller in the 260 @.050 range, same crane 1.6 roller rockers mid 600s lift and claimed just over 600 HP. Compression was around 12:1. I think.

He used a set of Procomp that were done that Bruce guy..,.Airwolf...I got the article in the magazine...
OOPS!, not the 408 vs 408 Eddy heads (my duh!), the ported Eddy heads on this current EM video are the ones he shows on the Roadkill short vid I mention above.He shows those same Eddy heads (the heads on the EM video 408 vs 408) on a Roadkill short video on the Motortrend pay channel, epoxy filled and relocated pushrod hole, the drill fixture he patterned off of W2 heads, and mentions they made 600 hp on a solid roller 408.
