How do I make a low COMP 440 GO Fast?
Heres the deal,
I came across a real clean 80 Volare for peanuts...since may dart is far from done , I was gonna use the parts I got in my shop to build somthing to keep me busy for the summer. I have a fresh 440 .030 built with ultra low compression TRW 2388 pistons, a set of template ported 915's that have been milled .030 Both a single plane M1 intake and an Eddy Torker 440 intake A holley 750 DP A TCI 2800 stall converter, and a 3.91 8.75 gear set that would bolt in (with some mods) the Volare. and a MP 509 cam which I feel is unsuitable for the motor. What cam can I use with this combo that will make max street/strip power. I know the right thing to do is buy new slugs, but I want to concentrate my fund on the Dart. Any tips, what should I use, and what cam timming, Ignition timming? Thanks... |

hello, try a short duration cam on tight lobe centers. 220/230 range, 106-108 LCA. this will help raise cylinder pressure,=more torque. a dual plane manifold will help also. bring total timing in by 1600 RPM.

tight lobe centers?
I would call for a custom cam, tell them of your plight, ask for a gind designed to help build cyl. pressure. Pay attention to head work, mild porting, proper stll, decent gear to back it. Lighten car as much as possible. |

You could super charge the 440 and when you get the Dart up and running put the super charger on it

My son's Coronet with 9:1 CR ran high 12's with a MP 484-284 cam and 3.55 gears.
In my experience, big blocks run rather well with low compression, but I guess it depends on how quick you want to run. It's up to you to decide if you want to be quick on 87 octane, or a little quicker on the high-priced stuff. |
