79 Dodge Aspen
When looking at what my aspen would be classified under it shows 3 different E58 engines. How do you know what one to go with and I see the main difference is in the cam shafts used.

Re: 79 Dodge Aspen
The small cam (.420 ) AND the large Cam (.460 ) are BOTH
rated at 289 HP. There is no reason NOT to run the large Cam at same HP rating as an extra .040 lift is significant. A lot of people have change their cars to earlier year Aspens AT 284 HP. Basically just a Grille and Tail Light change as I recall. We prefer the 318 230 HP combo in our Aspen (78 to 80 years).

Re: 79 Dodge Aspen
If I understood it correctly, as a 1978 model Aspen 360-4, you can run either a small or a big TQ. 1979 is small TQ only. No body trim changes required.

Re: 79 Dodge Aspen
Correct................But no observed performance difference in
our testing of the two. 750 CFM is pretty adequate for the 360 or 318 combos.
