which cam for stroker?
Personally I am uneasy going with a fast ramp-high lift cam. Sure they make big power but how long do they last?
I pulled a stock 340 cam out of a 1972 340 motor a few weeks back. Had the stock pistons but shop want to go .040 oversize to clean up the cylinders. The camshaft has no flat lobes--all look ok to the eye.
I found an old never used Crane Cam on Ebay last week. Its 226-230 @ .050 and has .455-.465 lift. Should last a nice long time.
I have hear strokers like lots of cam.
There is a custom cam grinder name Mike Jones, he could hook you up. 2nd generation business, his father started the business back in the 60's and he has all the latest cam profiles--and early ones too.
I was running his cam he grounded for me in my 318 with 360 heads. Specs were 220 @ .050 on 111 LBC. It replaced my HE268 cam from Comps. Motor idle better and revved clean past 6,500. (BUT I'm getting low on cash so for $35 I got the Crane Cam. His prices are around $200 for a custom cam) He is on speedtalk-Camking he goes by.
