Re: Over cammed 402

Thanks, Geezer.....I really hate to do anything to this engine. The truck itself has been a nightmare, with just about everything that's possible to be wrong being wrong. I put a new distributor, rebuilt quadrajet from National, one rocker was broken. Ran better, but still don't suit me. It's supposed to be newly overhauled, and appears to be. I'm the third owner since it was all partially put together. I've been suspicious of the cam since I've had it. The fellow I got it from told me it has a "big" cam, but I don't know the specs. So the only solution I can see is removing the cam and replacing it with one that will be suitable for a driver. Then if the heads have double or triple springs, they'll have to be replaced with springs that will work with the cam I get. I'm leaning toward the Comp 260H or 268H Greg suggested. I don't want a racer, just a good usable, driveable truck. Whew, don't I run on???
