so im pullin the old tired 305 out and in it's place is a 350.. now with this 350 it's nothin special. the block was pulled out of a 93 chevy 2500. i'm changin all the gasket an i had the heads milled .20 now im reuseing the intake manifold ( there is one on the 350) also i know that because this was a trck engine chevy put a cam profile setup for low end instead of top.. and im pretty sure that the 305 is setup for more top end.. i was wonderin witch cam ya'll think would be more suitiable for my setup?

 

bump...need help? anyone?

 

IMO if you put the 305 cam in the 350, you will wind up with weak low end and weak top end.

 

fa real?

 

how about putting a 350 cam in a 350 or a 400 cam with 400 pushrods and heads
what would that do

 

all i have is the oem truck 350 or the oem 305 cam

 

A new OEM type cam & lifter kit can be bought for well under $ 100 in most cases, so get the right cam for Your engine 'cause You shouldn't use a used cam and lifters in a fresh engine. If You didn't keep the lifters in order for Their cam lobes then they're throw aways anyhow.

 

huh? i took out the push rods an the lifter but i left the valve/vlave springs an retainers in. so... the block i left alone.. the heads were milled but the block still i used. i changing all the gaskets. i left the oem cam (truck) in the block.

 

Then that would be good to use. Probably should put a new set of lifters in though, wouldn't hurt. Those cams make alot of low end torque and don't do too bad up high either.

 

the 350 cam dosent do to bad up top? or the 305? money is very tight so im tryin to reuse everything that i can. anything that is importent is get changed an thats it
