273/ 2 barrel camshaft options

“Just so you know” and “I already have…” never did I think my eyes would light up with hope reading those words haha. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post and comment! I like that positive motivation!

Curious though, you mention having ran a cam with worse lobes than mine… are you confirming and or denying that it could be maybe should should not do don’t haha to run my cam as is? This was suggested to me from another source once before saying to get it cleaned up, no grind just remove the surface rust and run it with the same lifters and add a zinc additive in the oil. My first thoughts wouldn’t this just continue to break down quickly and send shrapnel through the system into the block and bearings and so on?

The isky racing cam seems to be tried and true from what I am reading. Again, I am inexperienced in certain portions, what else would need to be changed or altered to be able to run that cam? Springs, pushrods, lifters?

Thank you for the information and the clever grammar truly appreciate the attention to detail.
Ed Isky is still kicking at 103 years. Lots of experience designing and grinding cams.
