I'd vote for the stock LT1 cam as well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] But then, I'm biased! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I d go with the stock 302 blue print spec from CRANE. Straight up. Will work great with manifolds. Lot s of people have put in "similar cams" and end up going slower...
Depends what you are wanting in the end.... Performance or sound..

That is the cam I have in mine. Crane spec 302 and it runs good! The LT-1 is still a nice cam though. Would not waste my money on an NOS one though.

Agreed. Crane makes that one, and Federal Mogul makes one as well, available from Rock Auto. I am running the LT-1 cam in my 350 (per Eric's advice).

I agree on the LT-1 cam.
There are several threads similar to this discussion over at the NCRS.org site. The discussion points are what to replace an L-76 camshaft with and also what to replace a L-79 cam with. I realize a L-79 cam is hydraulic but still great threads surrounding these topics.

LT-1 is a fantastic cam also. But make sure its blue print spec from CRANE. the ones that are "close but tweaked" don't cut it...
