Possible, but not very practical. Marine engines don't need much bottom end, so a car with that cam would be sluggish off the line.
I actually never thought much about this, but I have to disagree. Go over to Comp's site and look at the Extreme Marine cams and check out the operating ranges. The main difference I see is that they are ground on a little wider lobe displacement angle than the street cams, so if a guy was looking for a smooth idle, good manifold vacuum, good mileage with a little more zip, they might work fine. Just my opinion, never used one on the street.
