just one more cam selection thread

My Dad used to have a 77 B200 3/4 ton conversion van....... the medium length size. Came with a 318-2bbl.

We installed a re-ringed mid-70’s 360, 1.88 360 heads, std Performer, Holley 600vs, headers.
Ran the stock converter(used a weighted flex plate), 3.23 gears, L60/15 rear tires.

Towed a 3700lb 79 Córdoba on a 1300lb open trailer all around the hills in New England to various drag strips for years. Plenty of power.

Oh yeh...... used a pointy nose Comp 268H in it.

One day at the track there was some issue with the car that was discovered before the first time run was even made.
I don’t recall what it was, but the car wasn’t getting raced that day.

Unhooks the trailer from the van, ran it in the street class.
Went 15.60’s.


That's hardcore when you end up running the tow rig.
