could anyone recommend a good cam and intake. I have a 400 SB chevy .30 over with standard dish pistons. 5 speed tranny and a 3:08 ring gear. Thanks

Something along the lines of a 268/454 lift Competition cams, sounds ok.

What cylinder heads? What type of cam are you interested in, a Hydraulic or Solid Flat Tappet, Hydraulic or Solid Roller. What do you want this motor to do and what will you use it for? If it's a grocery getter I'd say hydraulic flat 218*-240*/480-525 lift 110-114 air-gap type dual plane. If you want more rumpitty-rump and all of that I'd find a solid flat 'bout 240*/250* and 525*550 on a 106-110 maybe a dual but prolly should single plane. Of course, if your heads are up to task and fit the bill, you could go roller either way... maybe be more specific. JMO

all of the cam grinding companies have a "cam help hotline" on their web sites....(isky/crane/lunati/comp/howards/etc/etc)

contact 5 of them then analyze/question each for why they recommended whatever

my $.02
leave the cam and motor alone....
swap to lower gears for alot more fun at ALL rpms...not just at peak HP rpms with a cam change...

400ft/lbs x 3.08 gears=1232ft/lbs twisting the tires
400ft/lbs x 3.55 gears =1420ft/lbs twisting the tires=15% more acceleration force

cams can and will add more torque too... especially when swapping from a stock one...

im running a set of double hump 63CC heads, not sure about valve size. I would prefer running a hydraulic cam

Isky #201271 270 Megacam. Use Isky#205D valve springs.
