First off all credit goes to "sofakingdom" He has helped me with any questions along the way and picking everything out. So thanks man! So i figured id make a thread following my cam and head swap right now it has stock heads and a "RV" cam. Going on it are Dart iron eagle platinum heads (200cc intake and 64cc chambers) and a lunati 60103 cam.

Heres the car now:


The Goods:


Serpentine setup off and radiator out:


Headers off:


Intake off:


feel free to ask any questions or make any suggestions.

 

Heads off:

 

got the old cam out and new one in with new timing set. What is the torque on the cam bolts and do i need locktite on them?



Edit: torque is 20ft lbs on the bolts and blue loctite just to be safe.


Timing cover off:


Cam coming out:


New Cam in with new timing set:


Assembly lube:

 

cool can you make a video of the idle when your all done?
i would like to see how that cam idles. i like the power range of it.
i just put 215cc iron eagles on my car with the comp cams 12-212-2 cam in there now but i would like a little more lope

 

sure can hoping to have the head bolts and intake and carb this week sometime so i can finish it soon.

 

the power is night and day with the head and cam swap. i just got mine all buttoned up yesterday and took her out. i had to park it in the back garage before the cops came.

 

lol yea itll be a pretty big difference swapping from a stock 350 to these and putting in a posi at the same time.

 

cant do much now still waiting on arp head bolts to come in.

 

well ordered 2 different places both got cancelled and on backorder so now i finally just went straight through summit hopefully here friday.

 

finally got the head bolts went with ARP 12 point bolts. got the heads torqued down now didnt get any pictures measuring the pushrods sorry.

heads on:


Threw the valve covers on too:

 

got the pushrods ordered should be here weds. Hopefully have it running by the end of the week.

 

havent taken many photos latley but got the radiator in and serp setup and headers on. Pushrods come tomorrow so once those come it will all be together minus the Dist still waiting on the one from DUI.

 

Got the intake tapped for my brake booster hose. Pretty much done just waiting on my DUI dist still hopefully monday or tuesday. Probably will just throw stock HEI on tomorrow and run it till i get the new dist.

Intake on:


Carb and hoses hooked up:
