Question about 540 CI Dart Motor

[Xpock182]

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.
