Thread: SB chevy 383 head/ camshaft suggestion?

Tweet

Thanks for the info fellas. As for you techinspector1, I was just asking for a recommendation, you did not have to write a book, I have ran the Comp Cams XE274 in a couple different 350's and never had a problem with it and I kno how they run. The XE284 is just one step bigger. So im not a friken poser like you inquired. I asked if you had any cylinder head suggestions for the combination of parts I am running, not a lecture on camshafts. But thanks again. I got er from here

dk350sb, I think Tech was just trying to help, and has a good knowledge
of everything about an engine...The 383 (388) I put together a few yrs
back, I used The GM double Hump Iron heads that had completely been
redone from one end to another when I bought them. After I decided on
two four barrells, gear, etc. I called Comp Cams and they advised me on
what cam to use. I bought their kit including springs, push rods, and of
course the hydraulic roller and lifters...I think the 383 is built to best
perform up to about 6500 rpm, and I was using a 5 spd stick..I really
loved that engine. If I was redoing another 383 I would probably call
Dart..Just my 3 cents worth...rd

See what happens when you try to help a POSER? They get all defensive.

Dad was Irish, mom was Scottish. Takin' crap is not part of my heritage.

Way to go tech, hang in there..As you said, the info you post will
help others like myself. I'm only a half A$$ mechanic and old too.

There is a wealth of info on this site, and I have become adicted to it.

Merry Christmas to all..RD
