I'm luvin this Dodge Magnum series!!!!!

Most Non-LA 360’s are fuel injected, I realize this was a crate motor. It would be nice to see these additions with FI.

Is like to see a stock 360 magnum with a cam upgrade , and not one with a aftermarket intake and carb , try with the kegger and fuel injection.. some of us out here ain't trying to race our trucks .

The 480 lift single pattern has long been in my opinion the ideal 360 cam. Gobs of torque, beautiful inclining power curve, mild cams are the ones that give you decades off reliability. Love it. Can wait to put a .480 lift single pattern cam in my 360 LA

Richard I'd love to see you take a v10 dodge magnum vs the Ford v10 triton, them do cam and head work to them and turbos amd see what they will take

Love this series. The magnum is dirt cheap power for Dodges and is a really resilient engine package.

So glad that you're doing the five nine Magnum I love this channel thanks for your support

Loving this series Richard! Would love to see what the Magnum would do with a bigger cam and a good high rise dual-plane intake!

Thanks for doing this i have a 5.9 in my van that i dont use for van things anymore, gonna drop it and have some fun and i know the motor has so much more potential

Just got a 2000 dakota r/t love the series it's giving me tons of ideas to make the 360 faster.

I just bought this same profile in a 112 LSA for a 377 stroker SBC I’m building for my C20. Wanted something nice and fat in the midrange with plenty of torque, but that would idle well, be reasonably efficient, and not piss off the neighbors too badly at 4:00AM when I leave for work. I feel like this is gonna be a great combo, thanks for the vid and idle clip!

I'm loving this magnum series

Still loving these Magnum videos!!! Thank you Richard!!!

Keep the great videos coming richard! Love'em

Richard, you are just unbelievable. Where do you take the time for all this awesome content?! Love it!

I have several 360 magnum engines going into cars, thanks for this very informative video.

lot more HP than I thought it would be... impressive gains for no bigger a bumpstick than that is!

Excellent video Richard. I’ve always thought that the MOPAR 360 was underrated, especially here in Australia. Cheers & stay safe guys😊

Great vids keep'em coming 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I’m ready to hear the numbers!!! Edit: wow, that mild Cam made some serious power😶

Good stuff! I am liking the Magnum content!

this is good stuff!💪 this should kind help me figure out my can options for my 360 magnum 408 stroker engine.

More please. This is awesome. Dakota rt. Owner here

They’re really a good little engine. There’s so much potential to them

I'm so happy the Magnum is finally getting some AFM love.

Thanks for the Mopar dyno runs.....I've always been interested in how the 340-360 would fair against the 327-350 Chiev and the 347-351 Fords. I've used Comp Cams a lot and like the gradations that the cams come in.....seems like I could always find some cam to fill the bill in terms of what I was building.

Honestly, really impressed with the gains, especially with the stock heads. Really interested to see what it’ll do with heads and boost. Also interested to see how all this works with the efi and the Kegger manifold

That cam would make for a great street driver in my 96 Ram SST. I've been considering that cam for sometime and expected that it would make those numbers. My motor is stock with headers, enhanced throttle body and modded kegger. I with the kegger port mods along with an improved belly pan from Hughes Engines for possible future blower plans. I did notice much easier breathing past 3k RPM. That cam, along with shaving the heads twenty thousandths for a compression increase should go nice! Or skip shaving the heads and instead add a centrifugal.

Thank you for the Dodge content!! These Mopar small blocks are often overlooked, but they are torque monsters. I have one in my Duster. Love it! So what would happen with even more cam? Also are those lift numbers taking in consideration that Magnums have 1.6:1 rocker arms from factory? Keeping in mind the LA engines were shaft mounted rockers at 1.5:1 ratio. Just wondering!

You can tailor that a/f curve by changing emulsion bleed hole sizes in the metering blocks. It does take a lot of experimenting with sizes and placement to get it correct though so not easy.

I love seeing these magnum making good power!

Nice test! Good to see the Mopar pick up 48 hp from a cam swap. 2.5 hp per degree of effective duration. Would it make another 20 hp if you added another 8 degrees duration?

Ok I have a few 5.9 magnums.. so a cam will take me to 350 hp. Basically... I have mopars M1 air gap. Mopar's performance computer.... their over the counter converter (2300). So clean up some stock heads... or get so good aluminum heads.. could easily hit 375 hp....oh wait there that freshened 408 short block.......400 hp. Is possible.... but I'll be hanging on to see the rest of this great professor brings out.... thanks Richard...

Yeah MORE MOPAR MAGNUM TEST!!!!!!

Great video! This is my power limiter at the moment..I've maxed out on tricks without going in there. These cams are expensive!

I have always considered factory performance cams good enough for daily driving. This cam is still smaller then the daily driven cams available from chrysler. I would consider the 340 to also be a daily driven format in its day. And they have a bigger cam. I think this is even smaller then the little red express 360. (Ill double check). Point being. The 360 crate engines came with port layouts similar if not exactly the same as the "J" heads. A square hp/torque curve is what these power plants are know for and have been proven capable to me personally . 400hp/400 torque is the optimal daily numbers for the 360sb. The 224/228 .480 lift ta cam works perfect with the rest of the same components in this build.

Good video, finally just a cam test and not cam heads and intake for people with big bucks , like to see this Test on a Ford engine

Yes you can tune that high rpm lean spot out. You have to change the emulsion tube.

Hey Richard , big fan . Im building a 5.9 mag with 506 lift comp cam , mild porting and 0.027 head gaskets , dual plane and 750 cfm in a 3300 lb car .

I would have loved to see what the cam change would do with the stock Dodge fuel injection/ beer keg !

when you have your camera on the screen like this, you should turn off auto focus. your camera is hunting for focus, hence the pulsating you're seeing in parts of the video. Love the stuff!!

Iv got the 20-476-9 in my RT Dakota mine is making 288hp and 336tq at the tires idk how that compares to the engine Dyno. Enjoying the magnum content

Glad to see ya doin' some old school Mopar stuff again. Did you ever get back to the 292 Chevy, Slant 6, 455 Buick, and other Other Guys?

How about a 380 hp Magnum cam vs from similar specs from Comp, Hughes, etc? MP Dual Plane vs Single Plane? I'd be surprised if Dulcich didn't have an RPM Air Gap for a Magnum also. As usual, very informative, but me being a greedy ol' Mopar guy would like to see what somebody would put one of these in a hot roddy type of Dart, Duster, etc. Thanks Richard!

Hmmm.. happen to have that exact cam waiting to go in a 5.2 magnum. Getting new heads, that cam, duel plain intake, a holly 600, and mopar ignition. Maybe it will run pretty good lol

I'd like to see how something around 224/230 or 230/234 would do with the same setup.

You can tune that with a higher end carb. Air bleeds in the secondaries can fine tune the top end.

Thanks Richard!

Love this magnum stuff

I like where that engine makes torque!

Id like to see ported dual plain vs non .. I think i know what would happen but id love to see if im right .wonder if any how much low end would be lossed vs high end gained

Hey Rich, Love to see a 340 cam in a 318 with headers and 750 carb, thinking about doing this, want power and reliability...

I have a similar combo in my Ramcharger. M1, Edelbrock 650 off road carb, no spacer. Hughes 208/214 .512/.520 112lsa. Thorley Tri-Y headers. I’m going to try the spacer.

Not a dodge guy but I like that you are doing more than just Chevy stuff. In my area an older dodge truck is way cheaper than a Chevy and if you want a really cheap truck, its an option

you should do some modified kegger tests

More than I was expecting. Now to find an old Valiant with a 3.55 8 3/4 rear and have some fun. Or better yet, put it in your Nova Richard, and you can get the bowtie and the Mopar guys all wound up! Maybe some blue oval guys too! There will be riots in the streets.

Hey Richard! I really enjoy the testing you do. I'd really like to see you build the 360 with 1968 340 heads, cam and manifolds to compare how the differences between the 340 & 360 short blocks affect power. I'd also be interested in seeing how much power a mopar 383 would have made if they made a 383 Max Wedge.

Hope you do a 8100 Vortec soon!

Really cool to see some real world numbers for this type of engine. I rebuilt an old LA 360 with some Magnum heads and a lunati roller cam (similar specs to the one in this video but a little more lift), RMP airgap intake and long tube headers. It runs really good, and it made tired old van much more fun to drive. I really wish I had gone with some higher compression pistons with a quench surface, but that will just have to wait for next time. I have another LA 360 block kicking around but I don't want to build it without having a car to drop it into ... and I don't want to buy another old car to play with until I buy a house... but i can't afford to buy a house..... LOL

That is a cool motor, love ir

How about showing us the comparison of ported iron heads using the old Mopar performance templates (you'll have to make your own) vs stock!?!

It would be awesome to see an "apples to apples" comparison between a Mopar 440 and a Mopar 451. See if all the 451 hype is worth it.

Hey there love the videos,is this the same 5.9 like I have in my 01' Dakota R/T?

the dodge magnums were a bit more than the cam. floating pins, windage tray, and valves. I will never forget the sound it made with a broken/missing wristpin snap ring

WOW, 50 hp increase is sure noticeable, cam designers now sure know their job! I remember when idiots took a stock GTO with a 400 and powerglide or 3 speed auto and throw an 850 Holley on expecting big increase and all they got was a BOGGGGGGGG. That 360 would be a big improvement over an old stock 340 in a Dart or Demon

What about taking a stock and freshly rebuilt magnum and installing comp cams Xtreme Energy 20-745-9 cam? How much power am I gaining? It's in a 1995 dodge 2500 4wd club cab long bed. The engine has heads that flow a little more than stock and I'm running shorty headers too into a 3 inch straight pipe.

do you think a cam like this would have a similar effect on a stock non crate 5.9 out of a Dakota R/T without any kind of heads headers etc? if so that could be a decently cheap way to fix it falling over up top

I would love to see a performance test between regular,midgrade, premium, and e85 on a performance setup. If there's a video on it someone please link it.

I would like to have known engine vacuum at idle, stock vs Comp cam. Can it keep up with a brake booster, 3 consecutive full pedal pumps? I still swear by the MP purple shaft 430/450 cam for automatics that see daily use. This is the upgrade for the factory stock 340 cam from Mopar. It'll run p/b, steering, and a/c all day with as little as a 2000 stall converter. Still works great in engines with as little as 8.5 to 1.

hey i want see these 5.9 short block with another heads and another intake dude and a better cam.... cheers from venezuela.

I’d really like to see how far you can go with the 360

It would be very interesting to see what a fuel injection system like a Holley Sniper would do VS the carburetor. Would a more controlled AF ratio make more power? One would think so but while these throttle body systems may improve drivability, they do not seem to make a dramatic change to power, not compared to port injection systems anyway or surprisingly a carb.

G'day Richard. Does changing the power valve/s make a difference to the AF & BSFC curves? I can't remember if the PV is fed from the main jet or not. But I do remember Holley recommending "V" shaped wire being inserted into the metering block ports for PVs that are too rich. Or, does is the PV operating throughout the dyno run?

You should do some 3800 series 2 testing

I'd like to see this with a Fi Air gap intake manifold from Hughes!

Were you able to run stock springs with this can camshaft, or did you have try use aftermarket? Thanks, and love this Magnum series!

Please do more cam testing on the 5.9 and other mods to make more power.

Hi Richard, I'm newbie to the website but I'm not new to the otto cycle engine My father taught me theory and principle way back in 67. Why don't you test old school stuff like putting the pistons in backwards to take advantage of major thrust friction reduction thru wristpin offset. Also the 484 284 purpleshaft cam works better with the stock heads.I really admire the way that you do the tests .Thank You and keep up the good work.

since you always say that the heads are the most important, i would like to see the headwork done first, then add the cam ans see what its really worth over stock

as far as afr consistency Does it hurt to be over carbbed For instance twin carb tunnel ram compared to the right size single carburetor

Great series! Any chance of an Edelbrock top end? RPM heads and Air Gap intake?

Does that cam work with fully stock lifters, retainers, and springs?

When are we going to see the turbo Magnum build?

It would be awesome if you could run a Hughes cam in comparison. In my experience they make much better power over comp. Those cams are designed for mopar which comps are pretty much built of chevy.

So I mentioned on another video but I would like to see what you can do with a ford/international 6.9idi specifically with the budget gt35r turbos on on each bank

I have a 2001 Ram with a 5.2 I want to build for boost with a single turbo, what's the combination?

So what all had to be done to the heads for the added lift?? I was always under the impression that the magnum heads had a similar scenario as the Chevy vortec heads when it came to added valve lift?? Factory install height of 1.7?

I just heard of a mod using Ford 1.72 roller rockers for a 302 can you give this a try for us?

Ok! GM 206 rotary upgrades and I’ll subscribe

I miss my 4.7L magnum V8 it was a beast 01 Durango with four wheel drive

Can you do a test where you make the magnum motor have higher top end power and tq and try and keep the power and TQ curves going up instead of being more like a caddi 500 with no top end.

Do you have the fuel injection stuff to put back on?

I know this is old but can you please do a 5.2 magnum? They get no love and is a great little small block thank you JOHN CARTER

Can you change the air correctors or does it have rods.

Will this cam sound the same on my 5.2 magnum ?? Helpp plz cant decide love this sound!

Hey Richard, if you had a higher end carb, like a ultra HP can you tune it with the air bleeds when its fat at the bottom and leaner up top?

So this cam on a 2nd gen with a sct tune from flying Ryan might make 360hpish with some tuned fuel injection

I have 1.7 Harland sharp non-adjustable rockers they say you can't change the cam because of that it'd be nice if they made a can that work with the non-adjustable 1:7

Great video Richard! Hey was wondering if I can use this same cam (20-745-9) in my oem magnum 5.9 still using the Kagger manifold for now and throttle body, would I have to upgrade the stock springs and push rods? things of that nature, I just recently had a new transmission put in too. I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500.

Love the content, but man I really wish it still had the factory injection on it. Any chance of it going back on for more testing?
