Re: cam and lifters 350
I'd think you could get a stock grind cam & lifters from your local parts house...

Re: cam and lifters 350
with that amt of miles you'd need new springs and should also do a valve job then to prevent blowby a minimum of a hone and new rings really woudnt be a bad idea to turn the crank and new bearings etc etc etc you'll never het your moneys worth out of gettiung a new cam its pretty much an all or nothing deal with a ultrahighmileage motor

Re: cam and lifters 350
I agree with cdowns, just get the parts for a stock rebuild. A new cam and lifters only will snowball into an overhaul anyway, and this way you won't get stranded.

Re: cam and lifters 350

Re: cam and lifters 350
Heads have already been done about 20,000 miles ago. I have had a bad cam lobe for awhile just wanted to take care of that not a complete overhaul it uses very little oil and we checked piston walls during head job they looked great.These engines last forever driven correctly and taken care of . I have alot of confidence she will go 500,000 with cam and lifters.

Re: cam and lifters 350
The cam you're looking for is GM P/N 3896929; CompCams sells this cam under P/N 12-105-3. It may be available from others as well.
I'd certainly replace the timing chain as well "while you're in there". Last edited by Billla; 12-16-2007 at 12:15 PM. |

Re: cam and lifters 350
A real nice stock cam is the 300 HP 327 repacement cam. It is a great cam for what you are looking for and you can get a whole cam, lifter and timing set from nortern auto parts for about $60. I used that setup and they sorked perfect for a stock SBC cam setup.
