Good application for this cam?

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?

on that combo with the J's you'll probably come in around 9.5 compression which is kind of the low side of what i'd want on a .500 lift cam

i personally wouldn't be springing for new rockers on something that i was just kinda piecing together. especially if i was still going to rock the stock mannys and converter.

but change that stuff up? then it's a whole different ball ball o' wax

Quality rocker gear is not cheap! And most oem LA heads flow well up to .450 lift, that's why that camshaft was designed with that lift/duration.

With those H116CP pistons and the open chamber J head, that camshaft should be very efficient at making strong torque.

Talk to RRR he has a similar camshaft in his 400M powered Fr'd pick up.

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 on using this thing. If it would work reasonably well in one of these scenarios, sure, I'll run it. But leaving it on the shelf any longer is dumb.
I'm sure there are tons of better cams out there. But there's also tons of better motors and cars than I'll ever build.

China gap intake and your in business. I would think you could achieve 375 hp with that cam/heads/ and intake.
