Im looking at the Hughes street rod 24-20 or 24-25. Difference is 2000 or 2500 stall. I sent them a email but my research sags they’re slow to reply. Which one of these would be more applicable for my current setup? 2500 could be too much and be a slug right?

Correct me if im wrong, so a 1800ish converter can be tight for cruising but then per say I floor it, it allows the engine to jump up to or “flash?” To a higher rpm say 3500 before it applies the power? Sorry, still translating and trying to understand converter language between “listed stall...

So is the extra exhaust lift really necessary or does it cost some low end torque? Ive also looked at the 284/484 but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some love and some hate. I’m currently on the wait list for the trans shop, reverse gear is gone, just have 1-3 gear. He quoted $1500 to rebuild...

I still have the factory stamped rockers and I was advised to not go above .500 lift because they couldn’t handle that much lift without a pushrod getting shoved thru one sooner than later. So ive been looking for a cam upgrade from the factory .450/.458 HP cam.

I actually read that advice in another post and had already went and read it. Would the 108 centerline cause a rougher idle and low vacuum? Is there a similar cam with better qualities?

I wish i had the budget to put aluminum heads on and the whole nine yards. Im just having to trying to make small upgrades to bump up the power from the HP cam. Having trouble deciding..

Thank you for taking the time to supply me with all that info. Ive heard good things about the 284/484, is it referred to as a 3/4 race cam? Ive also heard good things about thing about the 292/509 cam but ive heard it is rather finicky and vacuum issues. Its also above .500 lift so i would...

Well to repeat what i was told on here, only trust Hylift Johnson lifters. I dobt have any proof of that but that is one of the few quality companies left. To be honest, I’m very leery of anything Comp. Ive read twice as many bad stories of flat cans by them than any other company. Is only...

I’ll apologize ahead of time because I know how cam selection questions is a beaten to death subject here but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with the Lunati Street Master 275/275 cam. Lift is .477, would this be considered similar to the old street hemi grind? I originally had...

I’ll definitely be checking u joints. Ive got a transmission mount to put in too. Getting into 10:1 compression or higher requires 91 or higher octane? Ive also been recommended chrome moly rods, which one is the better choice?

This is the cam that i like the most so far. I figured if i move power band much higher I’ll begin to lose my low end torque. Unless im misunderstanding something.

From what I understand, the symmetrical style is the old tech and asymmetrical is the new tech and supposedly easier on your valve train by a slower residual curve let down rather than a fast drop. So for longevity of the life and wear of the motor, the asymmetrical cams of Lunati’s would be...

Thats the plan! I wanted to upgrade the timing chain anyways. Ive read that the 3 bolt is the better choice over 1 bolt if a option.

Ive done a bit of reading and watching some videos on stall convertor explanation on impeller, turbine, and stator. Forgive my lack of knowledge, but to put it into laymans terms, your stall basically is a clutch that by fluid pressure disengages the engine to let it build rpms up before it...

I dont have any problem with changing the convertor, i mean im gonna have it apart anyways. I don’t exactly understand how to select them, such as a tight or loose one or if diameter matters. I do understand stall ratings and supposed to get one 300rpm above start of power band according to...

well while i got you guys here, what else would you recommend? Engine mileage is unknown since motor swap so im planning a entire teardown to inspect and replace. Im trying to keep it simple to stuff that is just basically bolt on/replace upgrades.

Well thats a bummer to hear. I figured with 9.5:1 compression, better flowing aluminum heads, .500 lift cam swap, long tube headers, 800cfm AVS2 carb, and 3.55 gears would get me there.

This is some of the feedback i was looking for! Thank you. Did you have to upgrade heads or stall converter or anything else to handle that cam? Id like to know the rest of your build specs to compare my idea to.

Im planning on sticking with hydraulic flat tappet, one of the cams listed earlier on post #22 They’re fairly mild cams but just breaking above .500 lift so i was trying to see other peoples builds and what they used in combination with those cams or similar ones. My motor is a ‘68 440hi-perf...

From my understanding, the roller tip rockers would be the next step up from stamped. Are they worth going to or just go to true roller rockers? Ive got about 4 Cams im comparing, 2 from Hughes, and 2 from Lunati. Hughes 1620BL-12 @50 216/220 with 495/503 lift 112LSA Hughes 2024BL-11 @50...
