140 amp should be adequate unless your machine isn't working properly. How thick is the material??? What dia wire are you using? I have 2x3 rectangular tubing through the floor in my car, not using the floor as the upper flange of the cross section as the Car Tool connectors are designed...

How heavy were the valves? What rockers, springs, retainers, and pushrods? What lobes? Doesn't mean much w/o all the pertinent info...

A few observations and personal rules of thumb... This is an off the shelf camshaft. Changing the valve events can make a dramatic difference in these #s as well. I try to stress the use of custom cams in custom displacements/induction pkgs. They don't cost much more and can offer...

I'm assuming this is the car that had a 5 speed in your sig...what made you decide to go to the auto? Approx stall speed?

I kinda like it when parts need a little massaging to work. Keeps the riff raff out of the hobby. That, or helps specialty shops to prosper.

Patrick is awesome. What he says about larger carbs than the old days is correct as well. Newer carbs don't require the signal of older designs to operate correctly. There's also the theory that having larger venturis slows the airspeed through the carb, helping it make a smooth transition...

Was just making sure. A triangulated uses upper arms that are not parallel to the frame \ / <--like this, to center the axle, and doesn't req a locator. Is the panhard parallel to axle at ride height? You mention 'diagonally'...

Triangulated 4 link? What controls lateral movement? Edit: Missed where you said 'body wobble'. Sway bar should help. Easy to install, google for ideas.

X3 If major reconstruction is req'd, altered wheelbase.

SD is great to work w/. Dealt w/ them many times over the years on LS stuff.

Friend's all stock 66 Coronet 500 w/ a 383 auto and 3.23s went 14.70s like clockwork on Mag 500s w/ street radials (1300 ft). W/ a 4 speed, 3.91s, and stickier tires I would certainly think 13's wouldn't be out of the question. 64 w/ a 426? Duh. This of course is assuming that someone...

Never too late to learn...

It reved to 6700 w/ traditional lifters before having any issues. The limited travel lifters extended the rpms from there. The key was the hollow stem valves. There are other things that could've been done before going to those lifters as well. It did peak at 6500, but it held the power...

To replicate...quite a bit. It seems what's written here is contrary to the accepted 'common knowledge' around here regarding hydraulic rollers and how they don't rev.

There's some stuff in here worth noting. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/1407_how_to_get_755hp_from_your_wedge_mopar/viewall.html

Yes it will make a difference. Air and atomized fuel see a few thousandths as a huge gaping hole. Flow a SBC or SBF head on a 4" fixture vs a 4.030" and they'll pick up cfm. An Edelbrock designer told me shrouding is why they went w/ a 2.20" intake valve on the Victors over the more readily...

From my experience, a short rod also helps w/ increasing the rate of differential pressure above/below the valve...which when paired w/ a cam that takes advantage, can result in more power. As you said...to a point. Also, beyond displacement and I think has been alluded to but not...
