This one is a bit milder and may work better without tuning

That would probably perform well with out to much trouble... keep in mind that the factory computer will not play to nicely with a mild 408... it will probably run, but it will be iffy

When you choose the cam you should also buy the corresponding valve Springs and timing set that comp cams recommends.... remember it will have to be hydraulic ROLLER... your stock roller lifters can be reused, but I would recommend replacing them...

You should price stock replacement head bolts... may be cheaper and perfectly adequate for your build

Standard volume water pump will be fine.... remember that everything you need will be for 93 and up Magnum engine ... not pre 93 LA

You need a hydraulic roller cam for a magnum motor

Ryan has a very nice torque 408 in his Mexico rc. I am sure he can be a great help in guiding you on parts selection

Anything over 9.5:1 compression will not work with the mild cam. Stick with what works... thicker head gaskets mean longer pushrods... comp cams is your best bet for a camshaft. You should call their tech line for advice on cam selection to work with your target compression ratio.

What did the weight come in at?

That is still being determined...  :icon_scratch:

You are welcome to come on down to Wimberley and hang out at Troxell Automotive. We have pretty regular tech days, weekends, weeks.... Dodge runs deep here. We are also having a meet in Marble Falls in a few weeks.

sounds like a lot of work. also i really don't know what shape my 81's 318 was in when i got it but after running diesel 15w40 in it for the last 6000 or so miles it seemed to help things seal up a bit since my last compression test. all cylinders are a consistent 170-180 psi with little to no change when doing a wet test. it would be about a 10-20psi increase accross all cylinders since last test. i have been meaning to pull the valve covers and see if things are any cleaner since the last time i was in there

Unfortunately Carter is only around 125 PSI compression with the engine hot... It may improve after a few miles  :dontknow:
