Also known as the Duntov grind. Gee, it's hell to get old.

When I was young a very good friend of mine ran 63 version in his new 65 Chevelle 327 and added 2 4's. That thing would fly. That was back before that S E Asian thing broke up the old crew. I wonder where the heck Gary is anymore. Originally Posted by NTFDAY

3836151, I think, was the # for the Duntov hydraulic lifter cam. 350 horse 327. Had one or two.
I think the "full race" cams came first, then guys wanted something a bit tamer for the street, so the grinders made 1/2 and 3/4 cams for them. Back then nobody knew (or cared!) what "degrees" meant, so they had to call 'em something.

Nothing ever sounded better. It was like saying "potato-potato-potato-potato" fast with the accompanying clicking. Music to my ears in my youth....the stuff of dreams. Originally Posted by pat mccarthy
