Yet Another Cam Choice/ Engine Combo Thread For 318

If you are at zero deck with those pistons, the block must have been cut a fair amount. This means 2 things: First, custom shorter pushrods. The adjustment screws on the rockers may not be able to compensate. Second, it doesn't matter if you remove material form the deck surface of the heads or the block, it affects intake manifold fitment the same. So, you can either cut the port face of the heads (preferred, although the heads will now be "matched" to the block, intake manifolds can be swapped readily) or you can remove material from the port faces of the intake (more difficult for future intake swaps, any intake will have to be cut, and will probably not work on other engines hurting resale value).

That cam is really about max for the small port heads. It will work fine with small heads, but it will work better with big port heads. If it's mostly a strip car, why bother with the small port heads?

Double pumper + small dual plane intake + 1" (open hole?) spacer?!?
