427 BB Chevy solid roller camshaft help

Post by hbps1978 »

Bracket racing engine - 3300 pds car - 10" wide rear tires, adjustable stock style rear suspension, power glide transmission - G body (1986 Monte Carlo LS/CL)

439 cubic inches
3.760" stroke crankshaft
6.135 rods
12:1 compression dome pistons
Brodix BB-2 plus cylinder heads
Edelbrock Victor Jr intake manifold that has professional porting in the plenum area
850 annular booster carburetor or annular booster 1050 dominator carburetor
Hooker super comp headers 2241 for a g body chassis

Can someone give me a solid roller camshaft recommendation from your experience please.
Would like to be capable of running middle 10 second elapsed times when the chassis is dialed in and good weather.

262/268/750/108/104, that should do it. Easily will meet those goals. I just did one that was very mild, and it made exceptional power.
Racing a NA NHRA stocker should be mandatory before any posting.

CamKing, probably 7400 to possibly 7800 rpm's in the 1/4 mile since it's a 427?

I was just going to suggest you get Cam King to recommend a cam for you. He can grind it for your too.

A good friend of mine has been using the same cam for nearly 30 years now....it's been in several of his engines and cars both on the street and the drag strip from 427 up to 540 cubes.....will run mid 10's with ease and is super easy on parts.....doesn't kill lifters or require 1,000 lb springs or any of that non sense. But be warned it is an OLD School cam.It will not make the ultimate power vs a newer design lobe but if you need to go rounds and go seasons without killing parts and still run a number it's a valid choice.

Crane R-260/400-2 -10

.663/.638 lift Dur @ .020 is 298* / 308* dur @ .050 is 260* / 270* , LSA is 110* and lashed @ .028/.030 and depending on factors will generally work best between 4000 and 7300 RPM. With the Glide maybe try a 107 or 108 LSA.

Heck an OE L88 or ZL1 solid FT cam can run 10's.
