casrak7 · 10-31-2015, 04:55 AM

306 ci ford, fun little grudge race car. 2700 lbs, ported 351 heads, 11-1 compression, solid flat tappet. want to make peak power at 6800-6900 rpm. Id like to shift at 7400 and cross near 7600-7800. Shooting for 215-220 cfm through heads. Cam will be roughly 270/276@.050 .625/.574 on a 105 or 106. C4 trans, 5800-6000 converter. 5.13 gear, 28" tire, 2700-2750 race weight. Looking for high tens. Dual Plane or Vic Jr? If dual plane....which one? Thanks a lot!!! Any real world 302 combinations to help learn from?

I ran a similar combination for a few years.306 c.i. small block,2900 lb. car.A little smaller cam and 4 speed.I would also suggest the Victor Jr., However an Edelbrock F4-B would be a good choice for a dual plane.I used one of those with a 1" spacer before the Victor manifolds were available.

Have you considered a small stroker kit? I have a 331 cube SB Ford bracket engine I have ran in my 85 Mustang Stocker. Its a flat top piston pump gas deal, with a 570 lift solid flat tappet cam, out of the box AFR 185 heads, 650 Holley on a Victor Jr intake. With a Jerico 4 speed, 4.88 gears, 9x29 slicks, at 3050 pounds, it runs mid 10.s at 128 MPH (best of 10.29)shifting at 6800 RPM, hitting 7200 thru the traps. Dynoed at 485 HP, which is pushing it with a stock 5.0 block, after 5 years, we found several cracks in the main cap bolt holes, migrating down to the cam tunnel, so a new block in in order now, but it was together for 5 seasons.

Rory
was wondering if you could give more specs on the cam you ran in your 331

Parker intake with a 4 hole 1" tapered spacer...Better plenum than a Victor JR.

Sure, Comp Cams FS 290B-6, Int. lift .576", Exh. .570" 106 lobe sep.,
Int. dur @ .050 255, exh.266.
After 5 years, the cam and lifters look great, so they will be going back in a new block.

I ran a Victor jr. on my 270 hp 302 crate motor and it ran pretty good. I did have a few drivability issues like stumbly running in the water and staging. I installed a Performer RPM air gap dual plane and it cured any issue I had plus picked up about five hundredths overall and much easier to drive. This combo uses a .498 lift hydraulic roller and a GT40P head. Went 11.40s at 111mph @2930 lbs.
