Cams anyone! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking to replace my 292 camshaft.
I have searched the parts houses and some speed shops.
Every one over $200.00 and too agressive. Comp cams will
do custom grid. Does someone have leads?

Thanks all
I did call Summit Racing and was told they had nothing. Actually they refered me to Comp Cams and they have nothing, could pay for custom grind about $200.00.
I just want to button it up. It all started with a rear main seal replacement and things got larger from there. I could not remove the lifters so I banged them out and did not keep locations. I bought new lifters and now I read that it may be risky. Honest my cam looks O.K., I just figured I could buy a new cam for under $100.00.
My main goal is to keep her stock for now, or close to it!

Why not just go back with a new 292? I assume you are talking about the comp cams 292. You can get it from Jegs for 129.99. Or if you want to go milder a 280 or 270 for the same price. You can also go with a Thumpr series for a lil more and get more of the sound with less requirements such as compression and head design.

He's talking about a 292cid 6cyl.

Born Lucky · 07-07-2011, 08:24 PM

Correct a 292 engine
It is a funny thing I personally called Summit Racing and Comp Cams and explained my part request. Both parties said no to a Cam for my 292.
Should I call Summit again?

I thought about it after I posted and figured that's what he meant.

I found one at Rock Auto by Sealed Power good price $100 plus.
I just can not beleive this thing started so slow. At first no parts now I am finding a few. I found Clifford and the rest but I did not want to pay so much.

When ya wanna run something a little "different"... that usually means you're gonna get hit harder in the wallet for any kind of performance stuff. Heck even the stock stuff can get pricey.

do not buy any cam that they say will work in a 250 ..It will not work .. 292 cams have the pump lobe in a different place and they are cut for connecting rod clearance !! if it is not 292 specific then you should pass...
