What cam should I get?

So I'm confused about a little detail here. It's a 10:1 motor, aftermarket cam, a few other goodies, but he ditched the factory adjustable rockers for later model stamped? and on an aftermarket cam at that? Did he use custom cut pushrods?

What heads does your car have? (I didn't see it listed in any of the posts).

I ask because I JUST got done going through all this and installing 273 rockers on my 360 to get the adjustability with my cam.

Use this calculator to find your gear ratio: http://www.thedirtforum.com/gearratiocalc.htm

Go for a spin, note what speed you are going in 4th gear, and what RPMs you are turning. This is for 1:1 automatics, so divide the gear ratio it gives you by the final drive ratio for your 4spd (stock 833?).


I don't know why he ditched them if he did. It might have some newer heads on it or something and it came with the stamped. But they are stamped and I guess that is what I will have to use. How can I find out the heads I have? If I remember the part number is below the rockers stamped on the head right? I would do just that to find out what rearend I have but the fellow kept his tach when he sold me the car. I could see after I got it home that there once was a tach. Oh well I guess I will have to buy a nice Auto Meter tach one day. Man I need to just find out everything I don't know for sure what four speed I have yet.
