The little 318 & Racer Brown's quality products

[gagembassett]

Got the little stock bore/stock stroke 318 magnum running a few weeks ago and I have to say that Racer Brown builds the best cams out there, very happy and snappy engine.
Engine Specs:
-Stock pistons flipped w/ stock rods & crank
-Hydraulic roller .565/.565 232-232 @ .050 with a 106 LSA
-Mild home ported magnum heads with stock valve sizes
-Hughes Magnum Springs (P/N HUG 1199)
-Mild ported Professional Products Chinagap intake
-Custom built 900 cfm Thermoquad built by the TQ Guru Ken Manley in Canada
-Will get long tube headers when it goes into the '75 Duster




(P.S. I only ran it for the minute and 16 seconds of the video so no harm done with no radiator setup

Sounds very healthy , with all of the 318 threads here, I'm sure you will be inundated with...I wish you would have dyno tested or how much HP does it make? Good job nonetheless. J.Rob

I plan to have it dyno'd in early September when the next spot is open. I'm curious myself.

Yessir. 1996 Magnum shortblock. The heads were cut down just a little bit when I took them in to get cleaned (can't remember how much it was a few years ago) so if I took a guess I would say around the 9.5:1 CR area

Well, that's going to be a snappy ride! What brand of rollers are you using? Stock type setup with dogbones or aftermarket link lifters?

 

[65dartcharger]

Jim just sent me my ST14 camshaft and lifters. Can hardly wait to put it in the 273 build.

 

[Dartnut]

It sounds crisp.
You'll have a lot of fun with that one!

Just pulled out and thoroughly cleaned the stock lifters. I plan to install a coil kill switch so I can turn the engine over and prime them before firing so I don't beat the heck out of them on startup
