Can I use this cam in a 327?`

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Good to hear from you Owen! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I have this Comp cam sitting around bec/ I took it out of the Deuce and put the stock 178 cam in it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] I was just curious if it would even work in the 327 (for Danny's Camaro). Like you guys, I would prefer the 178 as well - but was curious. The lift on this Comp cam is 510 / 530, and I recall that I could see marks on the valve springs of what I thought could be coil bind - another reason why I took it out, not to mention Pete told me I was nuts for listening to ole Neal and that I should stick with THE stick!

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.

M, I'm running something similar in my 327. It's around .510 &amp; 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&quot; 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.

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?

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&quot for Ben's clutch kit (10.5&quot that I bought about 8 years ago, I decided that I might was well just complete the 11.0&quot; setup for Ben's car and bought a 621 and an 11.0&quot; clutch. That left me with an excess 403 and a 10.5&quot; 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?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Once I see this on his face, it won't matter any more!

Automatic or manual transmission is a HUGE factor in camshaft selection. Keep in mind that Chevrolet never made an automatic L79 car.

The Stock GM Camshaft works extremely well!! Cant complain with a 12 second small block with poly's and Cast Manifolds..

AMEN Pete,

Ain't nothing wrong with a factory cam that has mild manners at idle but will pull Hard all the way to 6K depending on valve springs.

Wish I still had that cute, little 327 cu in 350 hp 66 Nova I sold.
