Thread: crate 350/290 hp engine head swap and a few questions on cam timing

Tweet

thanks I may get the offset key to play with until i find what i like then i will get a double roller set up, it is possible i may have to get a cam with more bottom end and midrange instead of mid to top end.

don't forget the advance curve. The low compression 350 290 needs to rapidly advance the timing and be all in at 3000 rpm. My MSD distributor uses a light weight and a medium advance weight spring. I set the base timing 12-14 BTC 32-34 Total timing.

You are posting to a 5 year old thread and I would assume that by now it's either running right or he blew it up.

Hey BOBv,
Welcome to CHR! I hope that you find things here that make you want to come back and stick around for a while.

Like Ken says, the thread you added your comment to is from April 2012, and on top of that the guy who was asking dropped off three days later and hasn't ever logged on again. When you see a thread title that looks interesting look at the original posting date under the title, beside the name of the guy/gal posting. Not saying that the info in the thread is low value, but if it's more than a year or two old they likely aren't looking for a response.
