[Amc-list] 401 oil mods

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Davis, 

I agree.  Some think secrets about what they do to an engine are what make them seem knowledgeable and in demand (some even like we are competing for a prize).  I have a couple 70 390s that we will probably dyno if the customer gives me the go ahead.  I would be more than happy to list the specs on any of them.  They are both 10.5:1 engines on pump gas.  Both have hydraulic roller cams with very different specs as one was put together for a Rebel Machine using the stock exhaust manifolds and intake so it will be interesting to see how well it worked. 
 
I did list a while back the specs for a 401 we built with ported Edelbrock heads and a roller cam for a 70 shadow mask AMX that was in Popular Hot Rodding 2 years ago.  It had over 500 hp on pump gas, never got about 185 degrees and the guy could drive it anywhere.    
 
I have another 401 with the Indy heads, solid roller cam using my shaft rocker set up that I will be putting on the dyno later this spring.  We plan to test it with a carb and then switch over to the new Fuel Injection kit we are working on to see where the differences are.

  I hope that our testing helps other AmCers
  I think it sucks folks want to keep secrets about what they did to get X out of their amc engine.
