Help me find the umph in my 360

If the camshaft and lifters are broken on good, there's no way I'd risk a camshaft change. That engine can be substantially improved, IMO by advancing the camshaft timing. I wouldn't be a bit afraid to advance it down around 104 or even 102 ICL. It can make a huge difference.......ESPECIALLY if it is retarded from zero right now. It'll turn it into a different engine.
