This is the setup I am going to try. 225 super six mopar purple cam P4120243 (duration 244/244 O-lap 28 center line 108 lift .436/.436) carter bbd k&n air filter open breather. Going to be running some performance plug wires and got some four prong bosch plugs for it. I am rebuilding it and have replaced the rings and all the bearings and lifters also reseated the valves and polished the head all the gaskets will be replaced as well but arnt quite yet. It will all bolt onto a 904 automatic tranny with 3.23 or 3.21 gears. I'm also trying to get more performance out of my tranny with a tip i picked up in one of my mopar action magazines. Aside from this setup the only thing that might change is i might plain the head for more compression but i still want to be able to run regular fuel none of this premium stuff to expensive.

sorry guys i was signed in guess i got booted strange never left the site

hi, did you degree that mopar cam in? mopar wants 102* installed centerline with that cam. that cam in a 68 225 that i just did needed 2* advanced, so i used a cox brothers 9 position timing set to get it right. awesome cam for the street and has plenty of torque. ron

I doubt you will be in the 16's with out the head work. shave it and port it and then you will be there for sure. The porting dosent have to be an all out expensive thing. I did mine with a dremmel using a tungsten carbide cutter and some grinding stones. the biggest gains are from removing the lip around the valve seat and the lump around the valve stem. It really woke my engine up.

I just whittled the casting flash out of the ports on my 'road oiler' duster and installed the super six on it, and it doesn't burn teh clutch up trying to get off the line any more...runs real strong...

D. Idiot was that in the manifolds you did that or the head

It was in the ports (both exhaust and intake) in the head, never touched/smoothed the valve guides or the seats. It wasn't even a 'gasket match either, just got rid of all the casting 'trash' in the ports...

-D.Idiot

a msd ignition or something like that help at all or would it be a waste of money

I switched to Pertronix just so I wouldn't have to deal with points. I'm not sure if it gave me a HP boost, but it was easier than doing a full electronic ignition.

A good cool engine is a happy engine(just had to say that ) It will help your engine by keeping it at the right temp(less chance of detonation). This way you will be able to enjoy your truck for many more miles to come. Does your truck have A/C? If it does, you might be better off getting an aluminum radiator. Expensive, but very efficient.
