Hi there 74 hatchback. Who is your cam made by? Are you happy with it? Just curious which heads are you running? I still have the stock peanut ports on my 454, she runs good for what it is though.Nice mild cam for a torque monster, i run a 216/216 and .515/.515 in my 454.
That pretty good for such a mild combo, my 350 ran 13.54 years ago and i thought my 454 felt like high 12's but never made it to the track with the 4.10's, so with mine having a bigger cam and performer intake with 750 carb and msd6a should have at least made it high 12's comparing yours, now with 3.31 doesnt feel the sameThe engine came out of a 85 suburban. I don't know what cam is in it currently, some type of rv towing cam. I bought the engine along with a turbo 400 tranny for $300.00. Put a set of main bearings, rod bearings, oil pump, and timing chain, sprockets. Engine is very mild, I left the cast iron stock quadrajet intake on as well. Put a cheap set of headers and a x pipe on it. Running a holley 650 double pump carb. Turbo 350 tranny, B&M holeshot 3000 converter. Ford 9 " 3.89 gears. I took it to the track several months ago. It really surprised me, on worn out street tires I was able to pull off a 13.4 @ 99 mph with a 1.96 60 ft. Lots of fun for what little money I have in it.
Do you think this is a good setup for an almost daily driver.Can I go with a bigger cam?
