Thanks, Billla!
I just received the cam and lifters that Billla sent me, free of charge.
He didn't even charge me postage, said to consider it a gift.
I just want to give him a shout-out and acknowledge his generosity in public, so to speak. Thanks, Billl, you're a real class act! I'll make sure and pay it forward when I get the chance. Gotta keep the Karma going around, right?
Keep the shiny side up!

Yeaaaaa!!!! 110 lobe separation!
:cool :
But it says "lopy rough idle with a 216@50? Maybe in a 267 CI, but crazier things have happened!
Keep you eggs sunny side up but your bacon greasy side down!!!

I'm running a Crane Energizer with the same dur/LSA as that cam, and it's not too lopey at all. Certainly more than an L48 cam, but I wouldn't call it cammy.
Of course, the Summit COULD have way different timing events, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just the Crane Cam with the house branding...

That cam will have a nice throaty idle in a 350 but not a rough idle. It will have lots of low and mid range punch.. I ran a similar cam, and isky 264 Mega cam, 214-214, .450 lift on a 108 LSA, in my 76 L82 and was a great cam(had much better low and mid range than the L82 cam) and is easy on the valve train and you can use your stock springs too. Good luck.

Here is the cam I will be using:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...make/chevrolet
I like that cam choice. Almost exactly what I am looking at. Since your using the same heads, gasket and stock pistons, I'll be curious to see how it works for you. You may beat me to the end product.
You figuring to get what, about 325-350 HP out of that combo? Will you be doing anything with the exhaust system?

Just make sure you have good static CR or you will give up a fair amount of low end. I went from the L-48 cam to that and it's definitely weaker below 2500. Much more powerful beyond that though.

Yeah, I'm looking for about 325-350 HP, and hoping to break 250 on a chassis dyno.
I have a Corvette Central exhaust system on it now, it is a set of ceramic coated block-hugger headers, 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust with an H-pipe, and stainless steel Magnaflow mufflers. I like how it sounds, but am contemplating changing to long tube headers at some point. Here are the headers I'm looking at:

Awww, man!!!! They jacked up the price again! They were less than a hundred bucks not that long ago! Wow, I'm really starting to sound like a grouchy old man, huh? Get off my lawn, you damn kids! *shakes fist*
OK, I'm pretty sure I'm going to take some flak for this, but I am seriously considering using these heads:

Car Craft used a set of them in a test of seven different aftermarket heads, against stock heads, and they did pretty well for how much they cost. Here's a link to the article if you're interested:
