looking at picking up a GM847 cam with 610' Lift Springs and valve seals. 3/8 rocker studs And guideplates. and hardend pushrods,, 200bucks,, is that a good deal ? and for 250 i can get some 4.11 gears too. yeh or neh?

 

Depends one what you plan on doing with car.

If you're still plan on using your car on the street, be prepared for the 4.11s to kill your mileage...a little less in a six speed.

 

I found this. Hope it helps.

GM847: (234/242 .575/.595 112lsa) w/ 1.6RR's
The largest cam of the bunch. Over the years it has proven itself as a cam that puts out good numbers and good track times. Very strong mid-range and top-end with some low-end loss. Will put out slightly better numbers than the cc306 while exhibiting similar drivability. Not recommended for cars that are daily drivers or that have stock bottom ends/heads due to its large size in duration. Stock heads don’t allow this cam to be used to its full potential so one with a built bottom end and head work would benefit greatly from this cam. Automatics require high-stall converters and gears and 6-speeds require steep gearing to run this cam successfully. Degree of cam surge will be determined by how good the tune is, stall size/gearing etc.
Pass Emissions?: No
Shift Point for Maximum Performance: 6400+rpm
Idle Characteristics: Very Choppy Idle
M6; Require Gears?: Yes
A4; Require Stall?: 2800+ Stall Speed

 

well it will be my only car, but i dont ever drive it anywhere to begin with. It will be with the 4.11s but stock heads and bottom end, for about 6 mnths (ormaybe ill wait to do a full rebuild) Either way i want the american muscle sound. Im just wondering if its a good deal for the price.

 

its a m6. plan is when i finally put it on to do; full exhaust (short tube edelbrock, duel electric cutouts before y,) the 4.11s, (hopefully a 9in, or 12bolt rear,) 1.6 rr, heads(waiting to find a good cheep pair,) Short shift (still need,)bottom end(383??). Theres many things on my list. Just waiting to get it all, then ima put it all on at once.
I just want a beast of a car, like everyone else.

 

my only question now: is the above a good deal?

 

Depends on whether the cam has been used or not. If you plan on doing a complete rebuild with engine and only plan to use it one the weekends and have the money to strengthen the bottom and top end, then I'd say $200 is a deal.

 

as it said if this is a street car then its not such a good idea. it may work fine on a 383.

 

ok, i think ill hold off then
