Thread: 327 Build Cam Selection

Tweet

I am worried about dynamic compression being too high with the XE268. Could end up as high as 8.2 with the iron heads??? Thoughts??

I am trying to keep this build period correct as the car is done as an L79 clone. That is why I am going with the Holley 600, winters aluminum 490 dual plane, correct valve covers without holes, dual snorkel air cleaner, oil tube with the correct PCV valve. I picked the small journal 327 with the road draft opening at the back of the block to do this.

I don't plan on changing to an RPM intake but for 25HP??? I wouldn't have though a change in carb and intake would help that much below 6000RPM. I was told the 600 is plenty big enough below 6000???
