    Flat tappet camshaft question

    Howards cam is my favorite. I think (or i hope :)) the 470 with 4-speed can work well with both camshafts. Not so well with a 383, but with a 470 cui it should be fine. I drive a Lunati voodoo 702 in a 496 cui / 727 in a street engine with dual plane and HP manifolds and the cam could be one...

    Flat tappet camshaft question

    I 'll definitely go for either the Crower 701 or the Howards 721941-12. We'll see which one arrives faster. There are currently problems with sourcing the blanks. Thanks for all your comments.

    Flat tappet camshaft question

    The old roller cam from the engine was a Crane 689551. It was loud and worked really well from 4000 rpm. Good for the strip, not so good for the street. I don't race with it anymore, so I'm rebuilding the engine for the street. Less compression, less camshaft. No 2618 pistons, but 4032. The new...

    Flat tappet camshaft question

    Thanks for your comments. The suggested camshafts are for performance at higher revs. I'm looking for a lot of torque at low and medium revs for a heavy 4-speed car for road use. I don't need maximum horsepower. The engine doesn't usually go above 5000 rpm. But of course I want to get the most...

    Flat tappet camshaft question

    Firstly: I know I should ask Hughes. I did. But they can't deliver because they don't have any hydraulic flat tappet cores. And there's not much choice in stock. Same with Howard's.

    1971 Dash Pad Paint M6Y3

    You're right, the colors are all slightly different. The dash pad and dash frame are the darkest. Herbs doesn't have a matching gold that is correct for 1971. I have seen dyes at performancecargraphics: Performance Car Graphics PCG performancecargraphics.com They custom mix the color. Concours...

    1971 Dash Pad Paint M6Y3

    GY4 is the door frame paint color. Y3 is the code for the interior (seats, bench, door panels, dash pat etc.) Y3 medium gold The dash frame and the dash pad are darker than seats and door panels. Thanks

    1971 Dash Pad Paint M6Y3

    Is there a manufacturer for the correct color of a 1971 Road Runner dash pad with interior color code M6Y3? Herb's parts doesn't have it. OER/Classic Industries doesn't have it either. Here is an exemplary picture:

    Moog or precision chassis Help

    Proforged = Holley And yes, I think they produce in China and Mexico like MOOG. But in my opinion the quality is better than MOOG.

    Moog or precision chassis Help

    I have good experiences with Proforged parts. MOOG has become very poor in quality over the last few years.
