Camshaft identification??

Since the engine rebuilder could'nt remember which cam you had, are you sure you have those 10 to 1 pistons he said were installed. That xe 268 needs compression. Make sure before you buy the cam. Comp Cams went off your numbers you supplied. Bob

You know Bob I was thinking the same thing. I think that the engine builder told the fellow that I bought the car from that the motor it had a Crane cam, 9:8 - 10:1 compression just to make a little profit or something. I will now hovever have to make sure what it is on my on in order to make good decsion. But I talked the engine builder myself and he told me the same thing. The fellow that owned the car told me that the motor was making about 340 HP. I didn't believe him but just wanted the car in general. I was big block! I just however wanted to get a little cammed up sound going that's all out of this motor. Can I get the sound I want by using a cam that is close to what I have now but have a lopey idle? That way I will not go to big. 360 is not a bad idea. Parts are all over the place and it is smaller motor and would be easier to install with the stuff I have now. Would the headers, transmission(4-speed) mate right up you guess without many changes?
