    Re: 1973 Charger 5.2L

    I've given him a link to this thread on Facebook, not sure if he's been able to see it as of yet though as I haven't seen any posts from him (on FB), in the end it's all up to him to what he wants to do. If he ends up sticking with his Toyota roots and drops a boosted 2JZ in, well, I can't talk him out of it

    Definately join this club, they are a great bunch of guys that appreciate all Mopars old and new...My cousin is a member; he has a 71 Demon I found for him in AZ, and a yellow SRT4 Neon. Look up George Dobney when you join the club...

    I do like it when someone does the not so normal when it comes to engine/drivetrain swaps.

    Either Hot Rod or Car Craft show cased an older Camaro, say 60's/70's that was owned by an Asian and yep, put a turbo 2JZ in there, man that edition got a lot of hate mail,

    Re: 1973 Charger 5.2L

    360 heads are 5cc larger. The added flow far outweighs the drop in CR. I had a set on a 318 with a cam a little larger than a 340 cam and it was a HUGE improvement. How many guys saying the 360 heads are not worth it actually had them on a 318? I did, and they work. The fast burn heads have a 302 casting# and will raise the cr around .5. With 1.88 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves, they can be ported to flow very well. The 5.9 magnum heads flow very well, and swapping in a 5.9 is not much harder than installing a carb intake for a magnum engine and installing a distributor.
