Cheap Small block cam for budget build.

I’m curious about that and was gonna ask.

The 262 cam has a 218/224 @50

This 272 is 216@50
Lol......I love the signature at the bottom of your posts...216@50 is for sisssies. Lol
Im screwed!

I know they measure them based on @50 more than advertised.
Does that mean that the 272 is actually smaller than the 262

The larger number is advertised duration. Usually taken at around .006" lift. The smaller number is duration taken at .050" which is the industry standard to make comparing cams easier. The 216@ .050 is mild, but for a stock 318, it's a nice step up. It will have a definite noticeable idle. You'd like it if you can swing it.

Oh and all I have left is the following.

A Ranger 2.3 Hydraulic roller cam.

A Mustang GT 302 Hydraulic cam.

A hot slant six solid flat tappet.

A custom grind .700 lift solid roller for a 351 cleveland.

I don't think any of those will work for you. I remembered as I was looking through them that I sold that last small block cam I had to Tim (ABodyBomber) before he died. He never even got a chance to use it.
