Biggest valves depend on overbore. 1.72/1.50 is good for stock bore with slight bore notch below intake valve. Cam depends on usage. Dedicated drag car? Converter stall? Car weight? RPM range desired? Need to answer those first. Lou |

I have an old custom ground cam in my faster car. Engle makes a similar one at about 0.540" lift and 250 @ 0.050" duration. Check on web. Will need at least a 3000 stall (9.5 or 10" size) converter. Get the rotating assembly balanced and do not exceed 6000 RPM. Roller rockers 1.5 or 1.6 ratio are available from Cox Bros Fabrication in Columbus, OH. Look in "Slanted network" section for their number/info. Lou |

like lou said the valve size depends on the overbore ,I learned that the hard way (valves hit the top 1/8th inch of the block). I had a 528 lift 284 duration cam in my 72 swinger, and it ran really strong and I also drove that car on the road quite often. you could go even bigger if it was for very minimal street use. with the 528 lift cam I would shift @ around 5800 (4 speed). With a 600 edlbrock 4brrl full bodied (3100 lb) dart it would run mid 15's on skinny 235 series street tires. that was with no engine tuning at all (just set the timing and went). Im sure with decent slicks and engine tuning it would have dropped 1-1.5 seconds. well keep us posted on the progress. ryan |
