I took your advise for my '65 Dart 273, Don. Ordered the XE256H cam from
Summit today. I was surprised to note that it was less expensive than by
going through Comp cams directly.
Heads are back from the machine shop. Received my head gaskets yesterday
through (believe it or not) Amazon.Com. Compression ratio now specs at
9.3:1. Quench could be better though. Headers are on order from Harold at
Spitfire. A lot of good and bad press on him. Hope that he comes through.
Comp Cams model indicates 259.5 HP @ 5000RPM. 310.7# @ 4000RPM. Hope to be
consistent and reliable at low operating costs even if the slowest car at
the track.

The compression ratio is going to be the bugaboo. You will need a cam like
the
exreme energy comp with a snubbed intake duration. . Maybe XE256H
I ran the /6 rail yesterday. It was wonderful tire blistering pass with
nothing
breaking It went so well I made the on shakedown run and deceided to load the
car ad go home and smile. I need to change a few minor things.(like the old
cracked 9 inch slicks) Carbs worked flawless and the little six actualy
scard me
when the tires broke lose at about the 60 foot mark . I couldnt tell where
the
eighth was so i ran the full quarter . I didnt have my open face helmut
strap
tight enough so the wind was trying to pull it off my head by the traps
and my
driving glasses had blown up inside the helmut on top of my head. I could
hardly
see but i didnt care! i stayed in it till the traps. Sure is a lot of fun
for a
washed up ol fart. Thing sounds ike an old airplane.
I hope you have as much fun with you car and your 273.
Don
