Tell us about your engine combo and car.

Where's all of that metal from the wasted lobe?

Where's all of that metal from the wasted lobe?

Its in the bearing surfaces....Were you going to pull the engine apart?

I would get a custom ground cam made for your set up. It cost about the same as an off the shelf cam.

 

[o1heavy]

yes engine is out and cleaned up there really was not much evidence of debris on the bearing ,not looking to change a whole lot (ie springs)
just wanted to update the cam to something with alittle newer technology
everyone tells me that there are so many cams that are better the 292 ,509


note
just wanting to keep the car on the road while spending the real money on the 408

digging thru the millions of cam options man what a pain

 

[o1heavy]

think i'am gonna try the mopar Mechanical 284/528
does it sound and perform compared to the 292/509
any thoughts
thanks for ur help guys

a few friends of mine have that in their 340 4spd cars.it has a very nice idle because the overlap is 60* compared to the cam you had 76*.it pulls really hard ,and has a fairly broad powerband.

The .528 is a good choice, and cheap, and a bit smaller than the .509. However I'd suggest something like the Comp Magnum 280H for now. I'd also have the lifter bores carefully checked when you go to stroke it.
