help me build my motor!
Hey i need some serious help I have had a 73 duster for a year now and I'm finnaly ready for the motor build just one problem I cant figure out a good combo please help!!
I was considering a 360 (I already have one so why not) with 10 to 1 compression a MP .509 cam, for the heads i know a guy that owns a cylinder head shop so im taken care of in that department what intake do u suggest and what size carb. Im not commited to any combo yet so any suggestions will be appreciated. If I go with the combo mentioned above what stall speed do i need and would u consider this a streetable combo? |

Edelbrock Performer Dual plane Will give lots of bottom end torque.---650 Holley ---10 or 11" converter will get it going pretty quick.----Good Luck!

With the .509 cam i would go with a 650 mighty demon and a rpm air gap manifold.

More street than strip? I'd go with 98Durango5.9. The RPM and a Demon. Since the Demon flows better than the rating and the RPM is the best dual plane out there, it's a winner hands down.
More strip? Step up in carb size, same intake. I have 4.10's in my '73 Cuda. Not exactly hi-way, but doable. (Read sig) This combo is good for mid to low 12's depending on weight, weight transfer and state of tune. |

Forgot to add how well the traction is.
The purple cam is a good base line cam. There are many manufactures out there. A custom cam is only a couple of dollors more and will out perform the purple well. Talk to the grinder themselfs and have all the engine, trans, car set up info ready to answer a small set of questions so the grinder knows exactly where he stands. This way you get the best performance from the new cam. More info the better. |
