Jim - I made that case, too, with lots of Chevrolet documentation but no takers in Glendale.

OK....My bad. I haven't looked at this stuff in about 13 years. The 65 396 lift is .497/.503. Just dug my old books out a bit ago to be sure. I had it right on the Z-16. Guess I need to keep the books close by the computer. Sorry.

The 65 Corvette cams used a grooved journal/bearing but the later cams were flat. I'm sure this has nothing to do with cam specs but may have caused a difference in part numbers.

Those old red covered Classified Guides and Technical Specifications are a wealth of info, aren't they? You can find some odd trivia in there, for sure.

Good stuff....... :) -Al
