65sporty, Thanks for the information. It sounds like just what I need. The 383 with this cam will be a good replacement for a low compression 361 that is worn out. I hope my son won't be able to tear anything up. He wanted a 440, with which he could do some drive line damage.

Thanks for responding. I am looking for something similar to what was stock for HP engines or something slightly better for low end to med torque range. Melling stated that the SPD 11 was close to what was stock back then and that the MTD 2 cam was somewhat stronger - close to the Mopar bump...

383 10:1 compression/ 4bbl Looking for user information on a Melling MTD 2 cam. What has been your experience with this cam? Did you have to replace stock valve springs? Thanks

The two engines I planed to work with (361 & 383) are both "B" blocks. I think the issue is with 1962 and up - B and RB blocks Here is a photo of both cranks. Newer -62 and up use flexplate. Older- TC with starter gear bolts directly to extended flange which is not threaded.

I have a 1961 Chrysler with a worn out 361. I have found what appears to be a newer (68) 383 in great shape. Block 2468130 8 Heads 284390 Will this work? swap crankshaft from 361 to 383 to accommodate cast iron trans. . If this will work, what can I do to enhance the performance of the 9:1...
