Thread: Camshaft advice (again...)

Tweet

thx Nitro, I am wheeling and dealing parts for this car and the edelbrock stuff fell in my lap. The melling cam is available to me cheap. I really don't have the luxury to shop and buy exactly what I need but rather make due with what I can find. What do you mean by "punchy"?

I am running a New Process 4 speed (A-833 RPO code MY6) it has the exact same gear ratios as a 700R4 but its a standard. The rear end is a 3.08 (open), but I plan to find a posi drop in unit eventually with a higher ratio if need be.

My car is a 60 Bel Air boat, I don't think of myself as a 'wannabe', but looking to put together a low budget ride for me and the kids, with a little oomph for the stop lights...

Tech Inspector should be along soon,.....You need to know ,cumbustion chamber size /bore size/and piston size /in order to determine you static compression.This will tell you what cam to use by what it makes your dynamic compression come out to.
This will regulate which cams will work and how they perform.Some time spent on this step can make or break a motors performance and it costs no different to get it right.
I understand this ,but not well enuff to exsplain it well.
