Hello, Just joined the Mopar forum today. Hoping to get some good input on my first Solo build.
Ill get right to it here.
over the past year iv been building my first street/strip car. The engine i have built for it is a
78' 360 bored .30 over. Stock crank and rods. Speed Pro Hypereutectic Flat Top Pistons w/ Moly Rings
I have 302 swirl port heads I gasket matched and did mild port work too (still has 1.78 intake valves though :/) I Have an Edelbrock RPM Air gap intake with a Summit S/S 750 vacuum sec. carb. 2" spacer.
Cam I went with a Comp 268 XE Hydro flat tap.
Factory adjustable rocker arms with 901-16 Springs.
MSD 6A Ignition box and 8.5 super conductor wires. Factory distributor for now..
Summit Racing 1-5/8s headers.
Everything else is pretty much stock.. As for a little detail on the car and drive train.. I have a 3" aluminum radiator, flex fan, upgraded to disc brakes, 8.25 rear end w/ 4.10 gears. ( i know i need 8.75, that will come with more $$$$) Transmission is a new 904 built for 450 HP, 2400 stall.
Like I said iv only been building this car for about a year... it has come a LONG ways but still has alot further to go yet..
this is my first solo build i havnt had much help or input other than reading mopar books and magazines... so i thought i would share what i have with some gear heads on the inner web see what kinda input i get.. Im sure ill get ripped apart by someone but hey thats what i asked for i guess..
What do you think so far? Good set up for a Street/Strip car? What kinda HP do you guesstimate this motor is putting out? BTW using a couple diff. Compression Ratio calculators iv come up with 11.15:1 compression..? sound right for this set up?
Thanks for reading, look forward to chatting with any and all who are interested in helping a fellow gear head out!!
