Question Question about 540 CI Dart Motor

Hey guys I just picked up a 69 Camaro Pro Touring and had a few questions regarding the motor.

Seeing as how I can not get in touch with the original engine builder I would really like some advice from some of our members.

Here's a list of the stats that I have regarding the motor...

  • 540 Cubic Inch Dart Engineering V8
  • Aluminum Dart Pro 1 Heads
  • Two Edelbrock four barrel carburetors
  • Eagle Crankshaft
  • Eagle H-beam Rods
  • Eagle domed and forged Pistons
  • Tremec TKO 600 Transmission
  • MSD Blaster 2 Coil
  • MSD Pro Billet Distributor
  • MSD Ignition box
  • Custom grind Lunati Voodo cam
  • Lemons headers
  • Double roller timing set

Disclaimer- I wish I had more statistics on the parts listed above but unfortunately this was all that was provided to me when I purchased the car. Flame suit is on take it easy on me..



Here is a list of questions I have...
  • What kind of Fuel Pump would you recommend for the duel Edelbrock carburetors & what fuel pressure would that provide?
  • I've seen 540 Dart motors with one carb and i'm curious as to why they put two on mine
  • What is the recommended redline for this set up?
  • What weight oil should I be using?











Since the images were taken all I have done is replaced the battery with an Optima.
