Overcome with Frustration!

My brother had a 73 caprice 454 with a soft cam - wore flat, bent pushrods, etc. I had a 73 C20 454 - same thing. My current 83 C20 454 is a a GM goodwrench rebuild, so I don't know what happened to the original engine. My guess is that was a early 1970s big block thing. I am pretty sure the truck engine cams are different from the passenger car engine cams, though they might have been made from the same steel back in the 1970s.
