Here's a Teen with a 6901 cam.The guy needs to tune it because they aren't that radical of a cam.
LOL! I sold my 318 with a 6901 to an older guy who has a 49 Plymouth. He's running the stock intake and BBD with that cam...he's happy so far...but concerned with gas mileage i told him "you'll be ok with that BBD..." but yes they are the street cam or classic cam i think the series is called...they have a series above that may be called performance series or something like that.That 6901 is a perfect cam for a stock 318. It's pretty mild.
Old style grinds. Lots of advertised duration and not a lot of lift. Easy on valve train and springs.LOL! I sold my 318 with a 6901 to an older guy who has a 49 Plymouth.

Not yet lol! Tomorrow figures crossedAnd the OP ("has a 318.") He needs to be mindful that a stock teen can't use much of a cam without modifications.
I will definitely keep you all updated on the build.In a more serious note,, We have all been there. 19 years old,You will make plenty mistakes in this hobby.
God knows I have. It's good to see some young blood 'round here. Better than most kids these days.Keep us updated on your progress with all aspects of the car and build.
Good luck to you. I hope it's setting in your driveway soon.I will definitely keep you all updated on the build.
And old cars just have more character and personality to me than newer sport/muscle cars
Love the old schools
When i saw this duster in the field i knew i had to save it! Literally contacted the guy made a deal and drug it out and loaded on the trailer. Now it is time for the Beginning of a new chapter for Ole "Dusty"
It is right now, well.. "in my yard"Good luck to you. I hope it's setting in your driveway soon.
i responded previously in post #6, but since you asked...I think I responded with "Summit K 6901" however I was waiting for a argument and contradiction...that Summit cam supposedly comes in close to the stock 69-later 340 cam from what I hear...is the the best?
Or Uncle Tony’s Garage lol.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
450cfm... Yea, definitely coming off lol!that be a holley "economaster" which is a small 450 cfm spread bore carb.
...Another question..
Would a comp cams xe268 work with 9.1 CR?
or would the xe262 be better?
When does the 268 really start to wake up?
Plan on getting some late 60's closed chamber 318 heads,either will work, but that 268 is gonna be a little doggy downtown if you're bumping 9.1
i don't know what the rest of your combo is: heads? intake? gears? stall? how you want to use it?
but between those two cams i'd choose the 262
Daily street car with some extra get up and goif you're at 9.1 i wouldn't personally go much bigger than the 262 cam unless you want it to be more focused on midrange and top end.
more compression, more gear, more stall and you can get away with bigger cams. but then that changes other characteristics of the car, thus the question of: how do you want to use it?
daily driver, blvd bruiser, street/strip, stop light eliminator, etc, etc, etc.
