well im about ready for assy of my 440.this is what i want when done....
i have a 73 challenger show condition.4:10 rear end,auto trans.
my intention with this is show and local cruise.no drag racing.
how im building is to look and sound like a drag car.i want a stump puller basically.now for the recipie i have......
440,.040 over. high rise tunnel ram,dual edelbrocks(600cfm)
forged steel crank, forged kb237 pistons.approx 10.5 comp.
eddy heads(84cc)performance rpm
stock rods.
roller rockers 1.5(hydrolic)
high energy ignition.
moly rings(file fit)
so now its time to pick out a camshaft to tie it all together. i have asked dozens of people,and got dozens of different answers due to the type of set up i have, and the kind of performance i want.i need to get at least 500hp/gobs of torque with this combo at lower rpm ranges.this is not going to be a 7000rpm motor.i realize my intake/carb choice is not the best choice for that type of performance,but i really enjoy that old school drag look.along with that look,need to be the infamous ground shaking thump.(important!!) i figure with the gear im running and the decent compression,i should be able to have the best of both worlds.please give all your idea and cam part numbers so i can research. thanks guys,i appreciate it.
woody.
p.s.... only interested in hydrolic cams .thanks guys
