IIRC, the stocker is 252* intake. I don't remember the rest of the spec
but here's how a 252 plays out;in at 110,the ICA is 56*. and
at an Scr of 8.4, the Dcr will come in around 7.14/138psi, and
at an Scr of 8.0, the Dcr comes in at 6.8/129psi
I wouldn't touch the stock cam. Except to spring it up to 5500.If you want a little giddy-up, I would gear it up to 3.55s instead of camming it. You already have the right cam.You just need to wring it out a little, and the 3.55s will give it real first-gear boost.The 3.55s will get you 50mph @ 5500, same as before;just a whole bunch quicker.

If you look at Comps Xe line the lowest one is xe250h is about equal if not slightly warmer than a stock 340 cam so a XE262H would be 2 steps up. My vote would be the XE262H or similar from another brand.

That should be a great cam for performance a little high on the lift for a stocker but I'm no expert I've been told to stay around 450ish for basic performance. Let's us know how she rips when you get r done include a sound byte rumbling Good luck!

Well I just got a price 300 Canadian,too much money.Search goes on.
 
I don't recall the Canadian border agents ever asking me if I had any camshafts to declare.... sounds like a border run is in order LOL

No run for me,that 2 hour trip to get the RPM intake was enough lol.

Take a look at the summit brand cams 6400 or 6401 decent cams for under a hundred bucks. Plenty of reviews say that there decent cams for the price. You can't really beat them on a budget. I would go with a quality lifter though. Not such great reviews on the lifters.

I have used these two products in two different engines with great success so far. Available at any of the auto parts stores.

If you are doing the build on an engine stand don't install it if you'll need to turn the engine upside down. I could very well fall out if you did.

I install the distributor and clamp to keep them from falling out on the stand... Just finger tight to keep it in...
