Need Help with cam for this setup. Plz
I'm in the process of building a 400 small block Chevy, I have had the motor in a relatives garage for the last couple of years waiting for me to put some wrenching in on it. Now the motor has become a necesity to finish but on a slimmed down budget. I have a lot of parts that I have got at incredible deals (I have family in the parts biz). Some of the parts I know are just ok to some pro's but this is a budget built street daily driver (until I buy a Honda scooter or something to save on arm$leg gas$$$). This is not a Strip only motor but will see some passes like 2 or 3 every six months or so :mwink:
1975 GM 400 small block casting #330817
Summit oil kit in a box Deal
GM L98 58cc heads ported/polished intake and exhaust matched w/500 lift springs and one piece stainless valves
