Any specific camshaft/intake/carb setup recommended?
The engine is a 1993 SBC 350 out of a Pick-up. Right now, I am converting it to a carb set-up with a Elderbrock 600 CFM carb and Elderbrock Performer RPM intake. I'm also adding a set of headers. The rest of the engine will remain bone stock. There are so many different cam profiles available, I'm not sure which one to get! Once again, any help is greatly appreciated!

There may be better cams since I built my engine 25 years ago, but I called COMP Cams and talked to their rep. I'd encourage you to do that, there are specifics about your heads, and compression that can make a difference. I've been real happy with their 12-212-2. It is about the most I can use without more compression(about 9:1). It has a lumpy idle and what I liked is a nice flat torque curve but it doesn't come on until about 1800-2000 RPM and will pull all the way to 6000+. LOW END TORQUE is what will kill a 901 and CV joints.
I'm not familiar with your engine and when they went to roller tappets, but that will open up a lot more choices. Call the cam reps, they really know their stuff. |
