Yep. The old 355 I ran had a cam two steps larger than the 268xfi I'm trying to sell. However, it was not a real street friendly cam, horrible vacuum for the brakes, rough idle. It sounded good but wasn't happy below 3k rpm. I was young and listening to the wrong people.I used that camshaft in my demo derby engine I built. 350 sbc, standard bore dish hyperutectic pistons, 186 double hump heads with 1.94 intake, 1.5 exhaust. The springs were changed and little machine work. Dart SHP air gap dual plane intake with a 500 cfm Edelbrock carb. I used to run derby trucks. That engine made me about $2500 the year I built it. ( I only ran it 3 times). I finished my first truck off the rest of the year. It got me about $8000 the next year and another $2500 the following year. I didn’t run as much that year. But that engine ran great with all kinds of power and I was not easy on it what so ever. It still runs great. That camshaft is a good one for driving around with a little extra too. The 268 injectedcutty has is a good one too. They aren’t race cams but for a driver, really nice. Little bit of a thumpy idle also. Not much though.
Hey, Whats a Good Cam for a 1984 305 H/O no computer ? I'm liking this one from Comp Cams.
