360 cam question

That's a true test. Pulled it, made the mods, and put it back in. It looks like the smaller cam would be good for pretty much anything. The 268 would be fun for a car that may use that rpm and even more fun with a bigger converter and rear gear. The converter and gear wouldn't do anything for the horsepower but it would be more usable and it would make the car go faster. a intake carb and small cam adds 100 horse . Nice!

If you compare the video to the mag the stock numbers are pretty much on par with each other and the mild ported heads and the xe250h cam on par with stock heads and xe262h cam two ways to the same out come.

Pretty much it seems to show going with a xe 250 to 262 your not given up anything to stock cam and like you said xe268h probably gonna want a bit of stall and gears, I think mainly to do with overlap/idle cause it doesn't even seem to lose much down low torque/power wise especially over stock cam, might be able to get away without converter & gears. My 360 with 230 cam on 108 kind of gets away on a 2800 stall and 2.94 gears even though I drive in 2nd through town, be nice to hear from some xe268h low cr 360 guys on the stall and gear situation.
