Steve,Thanks for the inspiration; we shall see how well the mods work. I am busy doing the math for all the components so they work together. I always wanted to see how much HP I could really make using the common speed parts that our ubiquitous LA, B, RB, and HEMI motors use. I have many Poly HP/Torque engine "recipies" and thought I would push the envelope a little.
I will send you a picture of the tunnel ram; maybe Gary H. can post it on the Mail List page as well.
The cam specs are 298/308 Adv. 250/256 @ .050" and .600"/.616" lift w/1.6 ratio on a 110 LC; a large Hyd. Roller as I am not fond of bending over the fenders lashing valves... I have some other interesting cam grinds for "serious" power as well but thought I would "test" this profile; thus the search for a pump friendly compression ratio and work up from there. Doing the calcs I honestly see a true 10 to 1 ratio on 91 unleaded and possibly 10.5 to 11 to 1 with some of economically reasonable octane boosters I mentioned earlier. The intent of the motor is to make fairly high HP/Torque yet street friendly and without expensive "race fuel."

Gary, WOW what a poly! wish you could be here to go drag racing with Rich Kinsley. The youngsters are impressed with his GRAMPAS HOTROD POLY 64 Dodge 4 door--so your engine would blow their minds!....................................MO ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Pavlovich" <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>To: <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 1:34 PM Subject: Re: projects in progressSteve, You sound busy and productive.I have finished my Poly Tunnel Ram and presently working on finishing the Poly Roller Camshaft as well as the Poly Roller Rocker setup.Gary Pavlovich----- Original Message ----- From: "MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 12:21 AM Subject: projects in progressI see a lot of list members on here this winter. What are you all working on this off season? Any drag racers getting ready for opening day at the strip? I have been doing a little on my 64 Dodge 440. Accumulating some more parts-researching disc brake swap. Removed the heater assembly- clutch and brake pedal assembly- . next will be the wiper motor and linkage and the instrument cluster face plate for restoring.. I have a few rust throughs in the air plenum for the heater to patch and try to coat inside plenum with rust encapsulator. This coming week I want to repair a couple holes in the floor and weld in a four speed tunnel hump. And I think I will order the bracket and adapters for the front disc brakes. I want to talk to a leaf spring manufacturer in Omaha to see if he can make me up a set of heavy duty rear springs or maybe even SS springs if he can get the specs. Warmer weather and sunshine will be here SOMETIME---I promise!.........................................MO----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
