Greetings Group The LA Blocks............... http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CEEQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FChrysler_LA_engine&ei=0uQjTbyoC4G4sAOluMTFAg&usg=AFQjCNG6hcRRMv-r-Yp4J6JWCa4RFZKMdQ Now........The 318 blockneeds to be bored .040inch over.........40 thousands over for you engine savy dudes......... connecting rods are switched from 318's to 360's......forged and recapped with ARP ends........and the crankshaft gets switched from the stocker 318 to a forged 273 rotator. Again.....ARP rod bolts replace the factory bolts. The block is classed as square decked, when it gets honed out, and the pistons are Dead Flushed with the block at TDC.........top dead center.............. Competition Cams.......... http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCompetition_Cams&ei=jucjTfUxjtKwA_f6uNYK&usg=AFQjCNFY4wqtNPxOQ99m9OdOe8lvjoa0qQ Now for the Cam.............Fire Stick...................My choice will be the Comp Cams 280 H Magnum camshaft.......this cam is ideal for this application and works extremely well with low compression builds...... This cam is ground for 280 degrees of duration and 230 degrees at .050 inch of tappet rise.........This cam is also lobed at .480-inch lift butwith the Magnum head set up.........we can see higher lift ratios of around .512 inch.......... Since we are using Magnum Heads with an LA style block and a hydraulic flat tappet cam set up.......we better use these babies http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp+Cams/249/7960-16/10002/-1 Comp Cams 7960 Pushrods @7.650nches in length........... That is tonights lesson boys and girls Regards.........tommorow night.................intakes and ignition.........topped of by a Demon............. The Cook |
