Mastercraft is owned and built by Cooper. I have sold both with no issues. Matter of preference on the trade pattern.

DODGE COMP Cams 21-249-4 COMP Cams Magnum Solid Camshafts | Summit Racing Maybe this one?

Try it and see. If it is still too loud then change mufflers and you will already have built in resonators. Please give us some before and after sound clips if you do.

I have a set of the purple horniest that bolt to header flanges. I will use them for the header install on my 72 Newport and to drive to the exhaust shop. To the OP if you don't want "loud" consider swapping mufflers.

Are those flowmaster mufflers? I can say I have never seen anyone try to use a resonator (glass pack or otherwise) with flowmasters. I would expect it to change the tone but have no idea how it will turn out.

It may very well be. I can purchase local and am not running high spring pressures with 2 hyd flat tappet cams so I doubt I will have any issues. If I ever build the stroked rb and don't run a roller cam I may opt for a different oil.

No extra zinc needed with Vr1 IMO.

It depends on how many miles are on it. An overall re seal with new freeze plugs not a bad idea. New timing chain set would be high on my list. After that how far are you willing to go? Valve job and some porting on the heads? Milling some for compression? Might as well replace that cast iron...

Lucas hot rod oil in 10w30. I also have Valvoline VR1 in 10w30.

I would imagine with stock rocker arms stock pushrods "should" work. If you run roller rocker arms then you will need different length pushrods.

Lovely time capsule!

278/290 advertised 222/234 @ .050 467/494 with 1.5 rockers 114 lca 56 degrees overlap good idle,daily performance use,mild bracket use,9.5 to 10.75 cr recommended 2200-5200 power range. If I am wrong someone correct me.

It all depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend. Finding a 400 (or 383) block to build over time while you can still drive yours is worth a thought. A nice 451 (or 432) would play well with what you have.

Dynomax super turbo. If you want more aggressive, magnaflow,Dynomax ultra flow,Borla Pro xs,or pypes race pro. Youtube is your friend for sound comparisons.Just remember that a 318 will be more subdued than a 383 or 440.

Look at it this way, it is worth more than what you can get for it. I f you need a big block engine and transmission one day,you have them. If you need an 8 3/4 rear end,you have one. Driveshaft,gotcha. You may find a nice car one day that needs a drive train,or a small block car you want to put...
