lo po cam dilemma

I think you missed something or perhaps I wasn't clear.Without a compression ratio number, or without cylinder pressure results,stabbing a cam in there will be kindof a crapshoot. Since you already have a cam with lifters organized to go back on the lobes that they came off of, then you might as well start out with the crapshoot that you already own.

If you really want to spend money; rent,borrow,or buy, the tools needed to measure your RV cam in the block.Or hire somebody to do it for you. Then install it, degree it, and check the compression on at least one side of the engine before you button anything up.Just make sure the cam stays where it belongs.
Knowing the cam specs and the cylinder pressure, A guy can get a pretty good idea of how she will run.
