I would recommend the same cam used in the 327CI 365 & 375 hp engines. Much more advanced cam with very streetable results. Mike Scribner on 6/20/2014 8:54:16 AM
I believe the cam you are talking about is 3736097 and the specs are in the Chevy Power Book which used to be sold at the Chevy parts counter. Lash: Int: 0.012, Exh: 0.018 Intake: 35 BTC, 72 ABC Exhaust: 75 BBC, 28 ATC Duration @ Lash: 287, 283 Duration @ 0.010: 260, 259 Duration @ 0.050: 222, 221 Lift (1.5 ratio): 0.381, 0.380 Point of Max Lift: 108 ATC, 112 BTC Overlap: 63@0, 38@0.010 Good mechanical cam for a small V8 (283), but if your engine is bigger, there are better cams. Hope this helps. D on 8/25/2010 7:54:59 PM
