69 Charger Mark
Well-Known Member
I've got a 69 Charger 440, 4 speed, 3.55 posi, 800 cfm edlebrock carb, holly street dominator intake, stock heads, patriot 1 7/8 full length ceramic coated headers.
It's getting ready to go the body shop for much needed quarter panel replacements and paint. I've got to pull the engine so we can paint the engine bay and would like to freshen it up while it's out. I'd like to do the trickflow upper end kit won't have the money since it will all be going to paint an body. It will have to wait until I can do the engine the way I really want to which means running my stock heads.
However I had planned to do a budget rebuild while it's out and replace the cam, timing chain, rings etc. I'm looking at Comp Cams 274H 274 / 206 duration at .006 inch tappet raise 488 int / 491 exh, 230/236 degrees at .050 inches on the intake and exhaust lobs respectively along with the recommended hydraulic lifters and valve springs. I won't be using the roller rockers but keeping the stock rocker arms.
Based on my current carb, headers etc is there anything I need to lookout for. I'm not that technical so your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---------- Mark.
