OK, I am soon to be getting a 94 Gmc Short wide truck that originally has a 4.3l V6 engine in it, I am also getting a used 4 bolt main 350 engine from a friend for free, so I am going to build the V8 in advance for when I decide to do the swap, the truck is TBI right now, but I plan to just use the stock electric fuel pump an run a return style regulator, probably a mallory, and carburate the engine so I wont have to deal with the electronics of a tbi, my question is to what cam I should use, I will drive the truck to and from work mainly but I still want it to have lots of power if I decide to hit the gas, or maybe take it to the track every once in a while to show the punks in town that it does have power to go along with the sound.
The engine I ill be getting is a 4 bolt main 350 from a 88 suburban, I will be using a brand new cast crank (don't see the use for a forged one unless I build a massive motor) and the stock rods, (may decide to upgrade to a set of eagles) with a set of ported, polished, and gasket matched 993 casting heads with the stock 1.94 and 1.5 valves, the heads will have a 5 angle valve job and aftermarket valves and springs, I will also be running flat top forged power pistons because the heads are 76 cc's, the heads will be flat milled an additional .020 thousandths for a little more compression, I will also be ordering a performer rpm or a torker II intake with an edelbrock thunder series carb, (or what ever intake you reccommend) the exhaust will be a set of equal length hedman headers with a set of flowmasters or dynamax mufflers dumped befpre the axle, and a 373 posi rear and an overdrive tranny, the camshafts I have decided to pick from are,
1. Lunati Voodoo Camshaft part #LUN-60103, 268-276 duration, .489-.504 lift, 110 lsa, 1800 to 6200 rpm's
2. Comp Cams Magnum Cam part #CCA-12-326-4, 286-286 duration, .490-.490 lift, 110 lsa, 2200 to 6200 rpm's
3. Lunati Street Master with 285-285 duration, .507-.507 lift (but on a 108 lsa)
4. Comp Cams XE part #CCA-12-246-3, 274-286 duration, .487-.490 lift on a 110 lsa.
Which camshaft would you recommend, I want the one that will make the most low end torque and use a low stall, don't want to have to run a stall above 2600 rpms, also what intake would you go with it, and how much stall do you think I will need for the cam?? I personally like the voodoo camshaft and the street master cam, but not sure about the 108 lsa, never had a cam with a 108 lsa.
Do yoe think my enine will make decent power and torque or would you reccommend I take another route?
Thanks for your help
