too "little" cam?
Ok, just curios what some of the gurus think out there. Just picked up a 65 Chevelle SS from an estate. Engine was recently rebuilt (not original engine), and to me seems a bit under cammed. The engine runs strong, is reliable etc.. so no issues there.
here are the details, as best i know from the build sheet, and what i see-
*350 4 bolt bored .060
*steel crank/"pink" rods (wtf??)
*KB flat top pistons/ valve relief cuts (build sheet indicates 10.25-1??)
*Angle plug heads/2.02/1.60 valves (dont know combustions size.. sorry)
*GM HEI ignition
*GM "low rise" alum. manifold/Q-jet
*heaers (look like Hedman, not sure).
here's the cam specs, and where in lies the question (too little cam or just right)?

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
