lunati in mopar 413.

[andyswed]

Hi. This is my first topic in this forum which maybe isnt the right place for me since my car is a c-body new yorker -65. But i have been reading topics from cryco and i get the feeling he knows what is good and what isnt. I desided to go whit the lunati 60303 in my engine.  Its a 413 whit 10.5 comp , 516 heads 2.08/ 1.74  ferrea valves whit  radius seats and bowl / inner radius porting. At first i had a torker2 intake,but now i have a perf. Rpm on.  750 eddy carb. 2400 converter 3.23 rear.
I still only have h.p headers (ported) and 2.5 dual but is planing for headers.
The car is realy fun to drive, big and loud
How much hp do you think it have ?
Will i gain much going up to 60304 or 05 cam ?
I know headers is best gain and will do them during winter. There is a galaxie 64 whit 428 that really need to see the back of my chrysler

Andy,

  Welcome aboard here.   

It sounds like you have made good choices so far, but I'm really a fish out of water when it comes to the 413.  In fact I don't even know of a company to recommend for headers.

 Just know the more radical the cam, the less street-able it will be. So we need to know how you plan to drive the car too.

Hi Andy
 With the 2400 converter a bigger cam will probably hurt the combo more then help it you want lots of midrange torque which you should have,  headers will help but rather than switching cams again I would use a better carb like a Proform 850 on it . Hard to guess at HP but it should move very well as is !!

Hi again and thanks for your answers.
As cryco suggested i think i need a bigger carb. Been looking on the profirm earlier. The car goes pretty good even though it is a bit heavy.
I will give it new pistons whit a really tight squish, since we have 98 octan fuel here. And maybe some more porting.
I really like the lunati voodoo cams as they have fast ramp. Are there any other manufacters who do this ? Been building competition engines for nearly 20 years mostly european kinds (volvo ,ford ,opel etc) .
I do not have so much experience whit v-8 engines, but i think it is the same as any engine, just putting the right stuff together
Thanks again .. and its a very good forum and a lot of interesting reading from you cryco

Hello and welcome Andy!   Neil ( CP) talked me into a quickfuel carb (same company as proform)  and it's been great! Best carb I've ever owned! I love the adjust-ability of them!  I've had quite a few Holley's and a Demon in the past and this carb is in a totally different league!
Here is a post I started about my experiance with it?

Welcome to the site Andy. A 65 C body in Sweden, man, there must be a story there! That's good fuel you've got, too. 440 Source sells a set of aluminum heads for a good price and they'd probably help the search for horsepower to beat that old Ford FE. I believe more of the cam grinders are offering cams specifically ground to take advantage of the .904" lifter in Mopars and CP probably know most of them.

Lunati & Engle are to 2 I have dealt with the most , Engle was sold to a different owner a few years ago so I have been using Lunati more now
