Cam question
I'm looking to retrofit my '78 350 to roller, and the cam grind I'm looking at is for an OE roller block. I know the nose of the cam is different, for the thrust plate, but can I use this cam in an old block, or do I need a custom grind? I'd do the button and dist. gear. All the cams I see in the Retrofit segment have 110* overlap, I need a 112 to try and keep my Computer Quadrajet happy. Thx

My cam grinder Mike Jones can hook you up with just what you need on the camshaft.
