Default Re: Cam Questions

I run the Crane version of the 146 cam in my 69 Z. Been in there since 2000 when we built the motor. No issues with wiping, vacuum or detonation. Been running 20w-40 Brad Penn for the last several years also. Stock motor built to spec. Original radiator tanks re-cored. No heating problems on even the hottest days around here. 93 octane mixed with a couple gallons of Sunoco 112. Car pulls to 7 grand with ease. Running Holley 25-25 spark plugs.

Original M21 trans and original 4.10 rear. Replaced trans with an M20 box and went to 4.56's. Made everything come alive. 3.73's to me are not enough. SB's need RPM and a low gear.

Would not hesitate to use a Comp Cam kit. NovaBoy Dave has a real nice Comp Cam set-up in his 1967 302 powered nova.
