I think that's where I'm going with this. A nice upgrade for someone who doesn't want to change a whole bunch of parts, with the added bonus of it being a better cam due to it's age. With regards to the FT 360 I'm building, I have a Lunati 60403 that I'd much rather use. Now I just need to pick...

NbT, thanks for taking the time to explain. Probably stating the obvious, but I'm not going for broke here. My junk is all street car stuff at best, that's all I need to put a smile on. So, for me, good enough really is good enough. As I've said before, the knowledge, ability, and experience...

This is what I've assumed, or at least thought I understood. So, am I to understand it's not really the case? Or am I reading this wrong?

What about basically stock heads? Let's say 2.02 X/J, or Magnums, does a cam with (reasonable) lift above where flow drops off make sense?

Then there's that. It's doubtful I'll run manifolds on a car, even more so a stock converter. Or it might end up with an 833. I could avoid the cost of new rockers by putting Magnum heads on it (I'm sitting on a rebuilt stock pair), have quench, and spend the coin for an intake. I'm not intent...

Unknown intentions for the motor, it's a spare. I'm trying to finish up (or close to) all the loose projects. I've got a set of unported 2.02 J castings, Air Gap intake, and a 3310 Holley. For now. But my comment was kind of a question, would the extra lift be worth the cost of new rockers?

So, let's say I've got a 360 short block with speed pro H116CP pistons @ .005 below deck. Which I do. And this cam. 1.6 rockers would increase the lift from .462/.482 to .493/.514. I understand lift isn't everything, but it's something, and not needing a new cam would offset the cost of the...

I've got the recommended springs, also new, as well as a set of lifters. Someone bought the whole package for a 340 build I acquired back in '06.

Yep, I got that one from an '87 or '88 D150. It has the electric lockup control, with the defeat switch on the dash.

Correct me if I'm wrong Rob, but didn't you run that cam in a 383? I did a search on it a few years back, and kinda remember you posting something like that.

The other reason I've held on to it is it's age. I kind of hoped it pre-dates all their cam/lifter issues.

Were the 360's near 9:1? I always thought they were in the mid 8's at best?

I've had this Comp 275DEH sitting on the shelf, new in the box, for close to 20 years. From what I've read, it's a decent choice for something with manifolds and a stock-type converter. What about a stock, low compression engine, only doing a cam swap? Not as I have any plans like that, just...

Snagged this from here ages ago.

In my book they're all worth snagging for parts. Strange it's a 4x4, but Tom lists it as a 2wd. Wonder if someone's built a 3 bean salad there?
