Amazing how hard it is to find an L79 cam on the web! I'm interested in buying a new L79 cam that is made to original factory specs (if such a thing exists). Anyone have a supplier/part # for this?
Thanks-

The P/N for L 79 cam is 3863151. You could try most NAPA stores selling Power Seal or Clevite brands.

Checkout ebay item #200350119054, with free shipping. You can also get just the camshaft for 119 dollars.

Scoggin Dickey can usually come up with it:

Try Crower Cams, GM performance parts. Don't forget to put new lifters in with whatever cam you buy and either use an oil additive (ZDDP Plus) or run Rotella D, 15-40W. You will definitely need the ZInc. Otherwise, significant problems will occur,

Simple. Federal-Mogul/Speed-Pro #CS-179R (cam only) or #KC-179R (cam and lifter kit); any auto parts store can order it for you. Used to be available from GM as a cam/lifter kit under P/N 12364050 (made by Crane). Use stock Chevy springs (P/N 3911068) or F-M #VS-677 (same thing). You do NOT need (or want) "hot-rod" valve springs.
