Today I finally have all of my parts figgured out for the cam swap(with one exception), and I started ordering. Over the next month or so, Ill post in here to highlight my progress on the swap. Its going to be a nice big project, as all of the steps I havent done before (except for pulling heads and the valve train once before). As for the parts I will be ordering:

-Cam, Comp Cams 20-745-9 (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku)
-Studs, Crane cams 36655-16 (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku)
-Roller Rockers, Harland Sharp 1.6 (chevy) (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku)
-Springs, Mopar P5249464 (http://www.sdparts.com/product/P5249...lveSpring.aspx)
-Lifters, Mopar P5249862 (http://www.sdparts.com/product/P5249...Tappets16.aspx)
-Pushrods, Comp Cam 7632-16 (6.8" ford pushrods) (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku)
-Motive 4.10 gears
-Posi rebuild kit (rebuilding it myself)
-B&G custom flash
-47re clutchpacks
-Transgo shift kit template
Stall converter is still up in the air.

But thats the list, some parts are christmas presants, most arent. Ill post up as I go along. It should be quite a jump. Come spring time Ill also be investing in a set of steel wheels and Sportsmans. I may be shooting a little high, but I would like to jump right to 14.0s possibly 13.9s. Im not really expecting more than 14.5s but my pie in the sky hopes are 14.0s, 13.9s.

 

don'tthe chevy rockers only work with aftermarket heads?

 

nope. they work with 3/8" studs. The factory stamped rockers use a 5/16th bolt, so it limits you in the ammount of rockers you can use; by going with the 5/16 to 3/8 studs it allows more rocker options. The price of the kit alone is worth the diffrence in price of rockers.

 

gotcha, i didn't click the link for studs the first time through, i see what you mean now. should be a pretty quick setup. good luck!

 

Thanks.

 

good luck!
