273/ 2 barrel camshaft options

Bottom line is, if you want to order an off the shelf solid lifter cam for your mild 273, the E 4 will work fine. If you want something smaller, you will need to have one custom made. No real issue, just another step to take. Will your engine know the difference? Probably not enough to notice. I advanced mine a few degrees and it has good power throughout the range. It is topped out at about 5,000 but there's no need to twist it any higher.

Hey there, after some further digging, I see that you crossed this bridge back in 2016 so I hope I haven’t worn you and the community out with a rinse and repeat of the topic.

Would you be willing to educate me further on the process of installing the isky cam?

Have the machine shop install the cam bearings and the isky E-4 cam.

(No machine work of any kind is being done at this time, just thorough cleaning and reassembling)

Reface and use my existing lifters.

Any other parts that need to be replaced and or adjusted in doing this install?

This setup won’t hurt and or “over cam” the remaining components in the engine?
As of right now, EVERYTHING is going right back in where it was after cleaning. The only parts being replaced will be bearings and gaskets as far as block related items, as of now.

Again this will be a basic daily driver on weekends and the occasional cruise.

I appreciate your patience! Thank you!
