Any other good cam optioins for an HEI Carbed 97 Vortec in an older inboard ski boat. What would it take to run a early 80's flat tappet gen 1 style Counter Rotatio cam in the Vortec ? Are the Vortec Cam/crank different then the older gen-1 set up.


The Gen 1 flat tappet cam I am running in my 89 Suburban engine (converted to counter rotation) is Gear drive (Gear to gear).


The Mercruiser Cam Part # RA050022 Description: 5.7L RH Camshaft (1997 and Later) List Price: $577.50 This seems like an awful lot of $$$ for stock power.
