Need to improve my knowledge...

Well.... with 110,000 miles on it I'd doubt the cam is anywhere NEAR being in servicable condition! Since the motor is out of the car, installing a cam is rather easy. If you've never done this before and don't know anyone who can help, go befriend an experienced mechanic and make a deal. See if he'd be willing to come over and do the install. But remember, DON'T buy more cam than you need.Various manufacturers make "street or Musclecar" grinds that drop in and don't require more than a 4 bbl. and dual exhaust to make respectable power.


Short version: Cam & lifters should be the MINUMIN that should be done. I'd try and bolt up a starter motor and spin it for a compression check before doing anything though....BEFORE you pay for it.
Good luck! exct0005.gif

I agree, i, personally wouldnt put that motor in my car without completely tearing it down and going over it..I have a 4,000 mile MP 360 that is getting re-ringed/bearing/hone/cam bearings/hot tanking before it goes into my car. just my 2cents
