From what I understand, using an old camshaft is fine as long as the original lifters are used in their previous positions. Mis-matching the lifters will wipe out the camshaft lobes very quickly.

That is probably one of Chevy's finest, well thought out camshafts, hence the wait to get one. Crane even uses the 143 Grind #

Between the L72 and L78 cars that I have had, I have driven a lot of miles with never a cam related problem. With headers and tuning an L72 Chevelle can run well into the 12s and do it for a long, long time. It is docile enough to drive in stop and go city driving or you can wail down the strip. About all you need is better valve springs, especially if you are going over 6K rpm.

That's why the factory introduced a more durable valve spring beginning with the introduction of the 1970 solid lifter engines.
Warranty work increased do to too many dropped valves on the previous 69 releases. |
