It was a couple of years ao that I fingerpringted the cam. I ended up getting one ground to my specs in the UK. The US Cam Companies I contacted sad it could not be done. Heres a dyno sheet of the 446.... Hope you like it!

I fingerprinted a Comp Cams 268 about 18 months, 2 years ago. Its a Chevy profile on a Mopar blank.

Sorry, no. Cars with A727's as late as '65 could be push started. If I get the chance later, I'll take some photos of one of these early type transmissions with a weighted converter. It came out of a 413 engined C, that was really smooth.

has2bmopar, I never said anything about predating his car. What I meant was that I have only seen weighted converters on the "three pump" 727's, ie the ones that can be push started.

Its a good thing that they didn't spell that word with a K. The swedish word for sausage is "korv." Therefore Corvette translated means "little sausage" which very aptly describes the owners!:laughing11:

In the 40-odd years that I've been working on Mopars, I've only ever seen a weighted converter used on the early type A727. Although their may be exceptions - and knowing mopar - there will be, that means that the original converter, together with its flexplate, can be used. One thing I have...

I'm not 100% certain of this one. The 361 is a B engine, and the 440 an RB. I know this sounds a bit like I'm mixing apples and pears, but if someone wants to fit a 440 into a '65, then there are only certain later blocks that can be used - the ones that have two bosses on the left front like...

Hi Daniel, welcome to the forum.

A small ship that used to escort convoys over the atlantic. When these were made surplus after WW2, GM bought some, turned them upside down, and called them "cars." :eusa_angel::eusa_angel::eusa_angel: Which in its turn proves that Walt Disney was not the only american with imagination!

Just like mine then, a 300L in 300 clothing! (apart from the fact yours is a convertible, and mines a hardtop!)

Rexus, I was a bit surprised to see your car was a 300. I always thought it was a 300L. Or have you bought another?

40 or so years ago, a particular car (built in the UK) had cam problems. Cars that were started off the key soon returned for a new one. We soon learned that if we towed the car around in 2nd or 3rd gear for 30 miles or so, ignition off, before restarting, the problems would not happen again.

Of course, if you have a manual transmission, theres another way to break in the cam, and the engine doesn't even need to be started....

I agree with that! Welcome to the forum.

:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol: Dynoed the same way as the others, I'll be surprised if it makes less power...
