I think it was also used in the 265hp, 400 engine if not mistaken??AmericanPie wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 7:10 pmYes, I've looked at that Edelbrock cam too and I think it would be another good choice. Very similar to the Crane 260 but with a little less lift and exhaust duration. Almost any one of these mild cams would serve my purposes.pdq67 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 12:51 pm You know, I was just thinking about this and just maybe all you need is the GREAT old, "Performer", cam, the old generic one!! The, "white box", cam...
Spec'd at 204/214, .420"/.442" or so, 112/108(?).
It is a step up from the GREAT old STOCK, -929 cam at 195/203, .390"/.410" or so?
And the old -929 cam was installed stock in the old, '67, L48, 295hp/350SS engine
A Performer cam should be dirt cheap!!
As always, imho...

No doubt the -929 cam was a great design; it was used in small blocks from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s on everything from 283/2 bbls to 350/4 bbls and was only replaced due to changing emissions laws.
Now guys, tell me if I am all wet here but I worked with a guy that had onna those shag carpet custom mid '80's vans that he told me that it had a 400 in it with a factory Q-Jet on it!! is this correct??
He drove it to work, but I never bothered to look under the so-called hood to verify it..
