Cam question...

nodemon said

Honestly, I don't really care what it is, to a point, as long as there's no issues running and driving. Just was curious what someone may do if it's punched out .040.. if that even matters.
I don't know enough about engines, or building them for performance or otherwise to have an idea.
Just an engine to get me by until I have the original one rebuilt.

is it all together and somebody said ran when pulled and it doesn't look like it's wore slap out and been sitting on the shop floor since jesus was private?

install it and run it.

you're 40 over on a 318, there's nothing for you to do that doesn't result in diminishing returns. maybe a different cam or gaskets or something but as far as the short block goes? there's money better spent elsewhere.

it's a stop gap, snap it in and ship it.
