straight gas 308 help.

[hurricane]

well i have a 308, it will fully rebuilt, flat tops, ported l34 heads heads set up for gas. and so on.

its goin into my fj60 to turn the 35's.

any idea what cam i should run? was thinking a crane 276 or 286?

what gas system would be best? was thinking gas research twin throttles, any idea what size would be best?

cheers,dan

any one running a 308 at all?

talk to crane, tell them what your doing and they will be able to give you the right cam, what to set it at and the right timing to run. if its strate gas get a bosh dizzy (black block) or any elec dizzy (no points) and get it re curved makes heaps of difference.

another ting to know is most good cam places don't cost much more( maybe $50) to get a custom cam grind then to buy 1 out of the box and will suit better

yeah its a black motor out of a vl so its got the elec dizzy, and i was thinkin of getting it restrobed.

and yes i will ring up crane, just wanted to know if any one has run any .

thanks heaps.

cheers,dan

If you ring Gas research they will also recomend cam to go with their setup
I'm running 425 impco straight gas carb an towing/ gas cam(cant remember numbers) in the 308 in my hilux
Pulls really well down low an not to bad fuel wise ,tank of gas goes about 450km's
Also black block ,red heads ,edelbrock performer manifold an electronic dizzy mapped for gas

I run a 355 stroker, Flat tops, alloy rods, girdle, B cast heads with port/cc'd big valves, triple springs, 1.65 rollers, Edelbrock manifold, Impco set up, Come Racing CSBH501 cam.
This set up is very good on economy and has bulk power
Soon to be twin 425 Impco mixers & twin converters
