Good cam for my combo?

fmaster7 · February 3rd, 2012, 03:37 PM

Building 347 EFI with 10:1 compression. 2.05 / 1.60 valves, 1.72 cobra rockers
60cc chambers.

My problem is, exhaust valve hits the pistons with the cam I have in my motor.

I would like a cam with over .500 lift and lower duration.

Cam I have now:

******* 110 deg center,

******* 224 in,

******* 232, ex,

******* 0.592" intake (effective lift w/ 1.70:1 rockers),

******* 0.602" exhaust (effective lift w/ 1.70:1 rockers),

******* 114 deg sep,

******* 0 overlap

Wow...you're going to kill that 347. What pistons are in it? IMO it's pointless at this point to have spent money on stroker stuff, heads, ect....and then limit yourself like that. Pistons can be notched in the block for relatively cheap.

Well I already have the heads on. They are SRP 4.030 with valve reliefs.

are you sure the cam is installed correctly? Is it straight up? With a 2.05 intake valves on a stock style piston, there's a chance that no cam will work.
