Billet cams and lifter supply - Page 2

Nmbr1GMfan · 11-04-2022, 12:21 PM

I have a cast cam, removed the billet core so we could try a different grind, everything looks good but I'm sure it's all on borrowed time. I would like to get a billet copy of our current can but that is obviously an issue. Here was my fix...I ordered a roller cam, aluminum heads and manifold, plus a 4150 carb and a nitrous kit. I'll mothball the stocker stuff and maybe someday when lifters aren't $2k we'll return...maybe not.

How about a 5 HP penalty for Roller cam in stock?
If a change to Roller Cams is made then change the piston rings to what ever rings you want. Spacers are get expensive as well. Oh and then for low compression motors how about making pump gas legal in stock as well. Could save some money there as well. .

Yep still going with the 350 2 barrel that is if there's still a track left in town LoL

I like the pump gas idea.

I think the biggest problem would be fuel check.

I still remember the spring numbers, 98 lbs seat and 202 lbs open. I was tossed once for being 2 lbs over. I'd be fine going back but that's just me being a purists for Stock. True hydraulics and only oem solid lifter cars. That would make nobody going 1 second under.
I not saying that it should go to the old way, just an opinion.

Hydraulic Chevy cams were allowed the stock spring at about 84-86lbs on the seat. Single spring with a flat damper.

6000 rpm give or take a few hundred was all you were good for...1970 Stocker....

No idea is they still make them, or they would be applicable for use in a Stocker engine, but I have an old Iskenderian Cams catalog, and they had a line of "Hardface Overlay" cam lobes, to be used with their "Chilled Iron" lifters. Anybody familiar with those items?
