All internal combustion engines operate basically the same so I'll try to help you out. What are the actual cam specs of the 428 Cj cam? What timing settings are you using? Any idea what position the cam was installed at? 3.00 gears aren't very steep with a heavy car like that, but you should have decent torque to get it rolling. Let me know what you can about the questions I asked and we'll work from there.
