Sounds real street friendly to me Bill. Just gotta put a taller back tire on it.

Search bill foos. Car had cam, lifters, springs and retainers installed in 70, retainers are best thrown away they were aluminum. My car did have hooker headers. 4.88 gears worked well with cam but no very street friendly </div></div>*****I have a 4:88 gear in a 67 Nova since 1968 and some 4 speed's. Broke a axle and stood the car up on two wheels. So for now I went Automatic{350 tubo}did not brake a thing yet. So now I like to try a 302 cu.in. to have some fun with,so only a three gear automatic for now and let the fun begin.

I like the -140 cam in my first 69 Z. Ran one in the 70's with 12.5's, 4.88's, a little head work on the street with an M20. Car was a handful to be honest, but it sure was fun when 260 was still available. I ran a -140 a few years ago with 4.10's and 11's with an M20 in my current Z and it seemed to be more under control. If I remember correctly that cam doesn't come in until 4500 rpm. I'm sticking with the 30/30 myself and replaced the 4.10's with 3.73's More street drivability.

Re: 69Z stock cam
 

I would only take 4.10's out for 4.56's.

Re: 69Z stock cam
 

4:56/4:88 is the only way to go with a small block 302z or LT-1 .


Night and day responce from the 4:10's.

Re: 69Z stock cam
 

Amen to that!

Re: 69Z stock cam
 

I love the 4;10's behind my 302.

Re: 69Z stock cam
 

Another vote for the -140. I roll with 4:10's and an M21, she comes alive from 3k on. Would never go back to the 30-30.

Not sure if Aaron from MI is on this forum, but he's done well with tuning his -140 cam. Check out his Youtube clips.
