Lots of work has been done since i last posted about getting the distributor in and wired now im running a 4 barrel elderbrock carb and the truck is black and soon to get a cam any recommendations for a mid size cam or big cam for my small block 318 due to this virus her mud bog build purpose kinda has gone out the door with the event being possibly cancelled but id like to get some high horse power and maybe a set of slicks to race her down our drag strip was hopefully driving her to the indy 500 this year but thats been moved just more time to work on it i guess

Coronet 500

I would recommend the Comp Cam Extreme Energy or Lunati Voodoo series, nothing over 220’ @ .050” duration with the heavy vehicle. The limiting factor to big power is the cylinder head port and valve size. I always suggest on line recommendations forms from the camshaft suppliers, easy to do. If you use the stock heads, check retainer to valve guide clearance over .450” lift.

Don’t forget Howard’s too, they’ve got good stuff.

haha, i was gonna recommend the comp cams 268... good low end thump without the lope/vacuum loss. i suppose it would qualify as an RV cam.

With that 268 Comp Cams asks for an aftermarket torque convertor.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah, i'm pretty sure that's an upsell lol. the 268 isn't big.

This is what I think you need for a 4x4, it needs to pull from off idle. https://www.summitracing.com/search/...4-800?N=%3A%2B

with fall beginning and no events happening in the Boone county area its time to rebuild my 318 with a new cam and and timing chain and hopefully not loose every part i need to send the tranny out to get rebuild and hopefully a stage 2 or 3 shift kit for horse power to be put through it. spot the new hood ornament named him Brutus his eyes glow thing ill wire them to a switch for when i get nitrous set up on the truck

Skwerly

You are putting nitrous on that truck through a 318?

87powerram

its a mud truck its gonna compete in the outlaws class we slap nitrous on anything

Skwerly

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, right! ok, that makes sense lmao!

87powerram

one day it might be taken to the drag strip with a 5.7 swapped in it

87powerram

Well finally found a decent bed for it getting all new brakes and maybe front end rebuilt

Skwerly
