Re: Need mechanic recommendation
3896962 part casting 964.
.447 lift intake and exahust same advertised duration as a 30 30 cam on the intake with slightly less duration on the exhaust side. Just not enough lift for the 2.02 intakes in my humble opinion. Actually a bit more advertized duration than the L79 cam, with the same advertised lift.
Dave, we need some good bubba stories (just kidding). Get it checked out for tuning issues. Even with the factory cam, the car ought to get after it pretty well. Lot of guys will tell the the Q-Jet is the problem, but you wouldn't even notice the difference between the Q and a Holley on a high rise until 5,000 plus.
I drove a couple back in the day, and they were impressive. Still, it will not act like the LT1 without the LT1 cam and fuel delivery.
I would be interested to know what your mechanic finds. Best of luck.
Personally, I think the 69 350 350 Corvette is one of the most undervalued cars out there. Jeez, sometimes I see them going for less than a rust bucket 69 Camaro. Don't get it myself.
While typing this, I just happened to compare date in Colvin's book with an old Chevroet Power manual. According to the chevy book, the lift is .450 I and .460 E. Looked at Colvin's again and it says .447 .447. Hmm. If the Chevy manual is correct, then it has more lift than the L79 cam.
