      Comp Cams XE 4x4 351w cam

      1,200-5,200 RPM
      210 int./218 exh.
      0.477 int./0.493 exh. lift

      Cold idle and revving video

      Dyno run video Different exhaust setup from above vid.

      Gears and a high-speed governor will help out alot. Look into getting a better heads and intake setup to maximize the power

          Wonder if a flat tappet stock HO camshaft would do much for you. I imagine those could be found for not much cash.

            In general it is not a good idea to buy a used flat tappet camshaft.

              what about reusing one with new lifters? Im planning on swapping this cam to the new engine with some 1.7 rr's on top of it

                Make sure the springs can handle the increased lift from the 1.7's.

                The only pistons which you would have to worry about are the flat tops with no reliefs. Any of the pistons with eyebrows should be able to handle .530+ lift with factory valves in a unplaned head and a moderate duration cam.

                  The pistons on both engine have 4 reliefs. My crane springs were brand new when they came with my heads, theyre rated to .550" lift

                    I read in my newest issue of car craft about them making a tool to grind valve eyebrows in the pistons, using some old valves and a drill, and a collar as a stop for the depth..

                    worked well, they put a huge cam and heads on a stock 350 smog motor, and got like 500hp!

                    Too bad its chebby :nonono:

                      You can buy a tool from Crane or Comp Cams. You put it in place of a valve and bolt the head down then turn it with a drill.

                        total engine airflow used to rent the Isky cutters. Not sure if they still do. I rented them. They sent me a bare E7 with the valve seats machined so the head of the Isky cutter was flush. Cost me $50 to rent it and $20 to send the head back to them.
