It took a while but I put together a stock bottom end magnum 5.9 with some Chinese eq heads and a reground cam for my 79 d200. I need torque for pulling my boat. I'm not drag racing.
Oregon cam recommended

This thing is surprisingly good. At light throttle away from a red light I can't help but smoke one tire. It is so torquey its impressive.
I will definitely use Oregon Cam again.
I can't wait to see how this thing runs when I get the carb and ignition timing turned.
This will drag my old heavy boat for sure.
