Hey guys great site, i've been lurking for quite a while, this is my first post. I want to know your opinions on a cam selection. Here is my info:
400 small block chevy, motor was out of a '74 chevy caprice
The stock pistons are dished
TH400 trans
Stock converter
Polished but not ported the ports on the heads
Alum Edelbrock dual plane performer intake
Hedman headers
Holley 650 carb
Its going into an 87 Jeep CJ with stock gears
Used mainly for off roading and a daily driver.
I'm staying with the Hydraulic flat tappet style cam...
1. Whats the max Lift I can run with this motor without getting into bigger springs / coil bind / or valve clearance issues
2. Whats the max Duration I can run without getting to problems with a stock converter or other issues.
I see summit has some cams for $60, are they any good for a deal like this?
Ex: SUM-1103 Camshaft, Hydraulic Flat Tappet, Advertised Duration 272/282, Lift .442/.465, Chevy Small Block
Thanks for any help! Gary
