Hello Rat.

Is that cam for a 330? I have also ordered a Williamson blowermanifold for my 330 project.
I`m collecting parts at the moment.
How much did your camshaft cost?

How will you drive the belt from the crankshaft. I just got a blower for my 341 and it looks like the belt pulley will have to stick out quite a way from the damper. Bill

 

Thats awesome.....

 

hey RAT...you said your rod is fairly light, and with a decent gear. i'am wondering how light, and what gear? or is this a military secret! HA! call me POP...or the old FART!

 

EARLYHEMIBILL - Who are you asking about the crank pulley?...

 

man can you please give me some contact information on the intake and cam my ol 345 needs help!

 

NAILHEAD TERRY - That's a pretty vague question. Whom are you asking what?...

 

Intake: 38 mopar_fan

New cam: Ron in the SHOP

Reground cam: lot-o-folks including us.

Great, I've found the comp site for them and the ebay link for the others. That other thread has a lot of info in it.

For one more favor, could you measure from the flat of the valley, to the top of the blower? I'm curious to see if that whole assembly will fit under the hood of my Hudson.

Thanks.

 

What springs, lifters and pushrods are you using? Everytime I do a search on this, there is always a debate about what will work. I have a 330 also, and I am just looking for some answers and/or part numbers. Any help would be great.

 

Springs on my roller cam (291 DeSoto) are Comp cam #901-16, Lifters are Mopar LA 273-361 engine retro rollers, and pushrods are from Smith Brothers, custom made. The cups on the rollers, and the shorter length of the push rods necessitated custom made (NOT a budget buster). I had to modify my block to get the rollers into the bores, due to the fact that it's a short deck. The 330/341 high deck blocks don't need the same work, as they are high deck engines and the rollers just drop in. I've attached some pictures to show what I had to do to get the rollers in the bores, and some of the push rods, etc. The engine runs beautifully...

 

I assume you are talking about these

Yes...only not at THAT price...

 

Holy crap! That is over 2½X the ebay price and almost 4X what I sell the used oem pieces for...
