Thread: Cam recommendations?

Tweet

I've been reading all your posts/threads this morning and haven seen any follow up/ answer BY YOU to any replys------

Oh, well, considering that, I guess maybe the cam shaft answer your looking for would be to make sure that for the double roller timing chain that it have the 3 bolt holes in the front for the gear that your using, and dist/oil pump drive gear at the back--------also, a good idea for issues down stream are make sure it has a fuel pump drive lobe at the front as some cams don't.

On the issues of timing/lift/duration---------that 267 isn't ever going to make any decent power at driven rpms so any of the stock roller lifter cams from middle 80s would most likely be best choice-------

I'm sorry, I couldn't figure out how to reply until now. I kept hitting the reply button and was waiting for a box to appear, didn't know I was supposed to type in the box below your post. My bad. But yeah that's what I keep reading-no good power from a 267. Might go ahead with a 350 instead. I've found one for $400, brought the guy down to $250. It's a 1978 I believe. It's completely stock with all the parts from carb to oil pan. Think that would be a good deal? Thanks for your input btw
