Subject: Got M-1 and a couple questions

Message:
I just bought an M-1 manifold from my local Mopar dealer. But I need a turtle, where can I get a larger turtle so I don't lose low end?

Next question, I have a 5.9L out of a 1995 Ram. I have noticed on here people talking about getting a 50mm or 52mm TB. But the Ram came with a 50mm TB. Would it be worth my time to get a 55mm TB? It's $250 plus core for the Fastman TB. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Thanks
Dan

What kind of mods do you have done you will only need a 55mm if you have very extensive mods or a 408.

The engine is out and still working on it. So far, I have the M-1, Crane Cam, Mopar headers, port and polished heads with stock valves. I also need advice on which pushrods, valve springs, and lifters to get. Also, will 1.7 roller rockers work or should I stay with 1.6?

Thanks
Dan

Depends on the cam you are using-- the 1.7s can be either too much, or just right.

What year truck is the motor going into?? The fuel system will dictate what TB era you should use (95, or 96 and up)...

Mildly modded 5.9, the 50mm F&B works great. On a little more mods (like yours), the 52mm F&B works better.

55mm and 58mm*New*-- That's for 408, 408SC, 408SC-N20 or bigger. (1000+ and 1300+ CFM)

The cam is the Powermax2020. Gross lift on the intake is .434 and gross lift on the exhaust is .458. I bought the cam from a guy that never installed it in his truck, but Crane sells the pushrods and roller rockers that go with the cam. Should I get them or get the Mopar?

Thanks for all the help
Dan
