I have the cam, and the 327. Although I was planning to use a stock L79 cam, I thought maybe I could use this one. I would go with a Z28 style intake, 2.02 valve heads, and probably a 780 Holley. </div></div> sounds like a good plan to me. maybe even a 750 DP. |

I run a stock L79 cam in the 355 in my 1967 Camaro. Z28 intake, 202 186 heads, flat tops, 750 edelbrock carb. Went 13.20 @104 at the track. Sounds healthy too.

Re: Can I use this cam in a 327?`
M, I'm running something similar in my 327. It's around .510 & 300 duration. I am running the HD springs (opened up the heads) guide plates and roller tip rockers. I have the Z intake (minus the plenum w/ 1" spacer) and a 780 carb (vac sec) ...Very rough with an Auto unless you have a nice stall converter (4000) but would be ok with a stick. I'm also running a 4:10 gear which makes this a very streetable combination with a nice low end (not quite ideal, reccomend at least 4.56 gear to be a bit stronger) and unlimited top end on the street.
I can dig up more of the specs later if needed. BIG |

That's with a 462 head w/ 1.94's. I also cc'd the heads at 64 and have a .003 deck w/ Old TRW flat tops (cut an releifed a bit). I'm using Manley Proflow valves.

Are you going to stay with the glide, or go with something else?

Re: Can I use this cam in a 327?`
Automatic or manual transmission is a HUGE factor in camshaft selection. Keep in mind that Chevrolet never made an automatic L79 car.

We are going with a 4 speed, even though I have the original 'glide. I figured that if my Yenko and Ben's SS were both 4 speeds, Danny should get one too - no a/t's, especially not a wimpy 'glide. So, after I realized last year that I had bought the wrong flywheel (11.0") for Ben's clutch kit (10.5") that I bought about 8 years ago, I decided that I might was well just complete the 11.0" setup for Ben's car and bought a 621 and an 11.0" clutch. That left me with an excess 403 and a 10.5" clutch - so, with a little help from my friends (thanks Dennis!) Danny now has a Muncie 4speed setup for the '67 Camaro. Once we (I) decided to go with a 4 speed, I figured I should really think about either the L79 or LT1 cams for it! Is there any way to keep a project under control??

Cam it up M. Just make sure you jack the back up and do the necessary changes to make that cam work!

Re: Can I use this cam in a 327?`
Control of project is only relevent to cost/budget/insanity level.
In this case, maybe safety concerns for the youthful driver. We used a pretty much stock bottom end on my RG 68 Camaro. Used early double hump heads, 65ish I believe with, if I remember 54 cc 1.94 heads.(been a while) I used the repo L79 cam with a Holley contender intake which is built off the LT/1 blue print. I only went with a 600cfm Holley. I like the setup very well. It's user friendly, and has exactly what I wanted from it. Rear end is a 3.08 with tall tires so it's not fast out of the hole, but probably would run 140. It doesn't give up before I do. |
