It would be an improvement over stock and would work with stock valve springs most likely with a rocker arm adjustment kit, and isn't terrible expensive

It was worth it, a very low dollar upgrade. The motor makes more low end power up to about 4500 rpm. I didn't have to change anything else. The idle is just like stock.

these are the specs of the cam right?
Advertised duration: 262 intake/272 exhaust
Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 204 intake/214 exhaust
.448 in. intake/.472 in. exhaust
112 degrees LSA

think that's the only one summit makes for the 351W but i thought i'd re-check

You can get the summit cam thats for the 221-302 the part number is Sum-3602. (292/302 degrees duration, hydraulic camshaft )

you just have to use the 221-302 firing order.

And it worked great.
I've got all the funds together now. I'm just waiting for after the holidays to pull the motor. I can't wait to get started on it. I'm going with new RPM heads. I think you might agree with that choice.

Yes I do have a tab, today I have about $3600 into the car. Thats everything from tires, to wires,trans ect,some items were a trade so i factor in the cost to buy them, and the purchase price of the car too. I have a limint of $8000 that I hope not to go over.

So far i have $4000 CDN in my car including the purchse, but i doubt it's in the low 17's as is, and it doesn't look half as good as your stang. (spent $1000 for seats which was a stupid stupid idea when the rest of the car isn't done, they are sitting in my room at the moment taunting me)

Dubz when I first started on this site. Many of the members on here told me not to worry about the tab. To just have fun witn my car and do to it,what every makes me happy. And they were all right. I don't worry about the total cost anymore. Now if I have the money I'll get the parts I want for my 65. I know I'll never sell it, so who cares what the tab is.
Don't worry about the seats you'll enjoy them on those long drives.

I'm considering that cam or one like it...how much faster are you running at the strip? If you haven't gone yet, how much faster do you think it is?

What I have found on for a stock 69 351W cam is
I-.418"/E-.448" lift
I-256/E-270 Duration
I have never found any .050" lift duration numbers, just what appears to be advertised numbers.

shows pretty much the same #'s
i used the 0.050 numbers for the other cam
so it's hard to tell really.

the programs # are to be taken with a grain of salt i belive (probably a sq foot chunk of said salt)

maybe the summit cam won't help on your 69, they might not even help on my 74

My motor is a 69 351w. The cam did seem to help. The car has more low power that you can feel. I have not had it at the track since the change. I have raced my pops 88Gt. You I've raced since I first got my car. He used to beat me. When I had stock exh and a 2bl carb. Since I changed the exhst and gears and 4bl. I could take him easy. Now with the cam change it's not even close. I can take at any speed, his car is a 3.08 geared 5spd 88GT.
Thats the messurement I have for now.

but by the butt-o-meter it seemed to be an improvement??

wonder where i could find the cam specs for my car (not in my 40lb chiltons 68-75 book)

know the lift is 419/448 from NHRA's blueprint page, but don't know about any of the rest of it

Dubz,

I would think the cam in the 69 is the same spec as the cam in your 74 since the lift numbers are the same. I can't make a comment from experience on the difference between the stock cam and the summit cam, but the added lift and a little more duration should give some more power.

I went from stock to a CC 275DEH with World Products heads and a lot of other adders all at once, made a BIG seat of the pants difference in my car. Still haven't figured out what I am going to do when put it back together this time.

that cam and all the others other than the one i first asked about have a 114 lsa, the one i asked about has a 112 which i thought would be better for performance

The 114 lsa will give a wide power range and clean idle. The 112 will make a little more power in a narrower range and be easier to tune the advance curve. It just depends on what you want. If you wanted a lopey idle and have excellent midrange power you could drop down to about 109 LSA.

One more idea.. You might consider using a 1.7 roller rocker on that cam. It would really wake it up and would still be safe for the stock motor.

well if 114 is going to be a better wider power band

if i went with the
218/228
.471/.471
with a 114lsa that would probably be better correct?

it's 2,000 to 4,500
where as the other is 1,500 to 4,000

Sounds like a nice performance street cam. I expect it would pull good up to 5000 rpms easily.

The first cam i had asked about has the exact same specs as Edelbrocks Performer Plus Cam. Same lift, same 0.050" durations and same lsa.

And the small cam with headers and a performer intake can hit 320+ according to thier dyno results(which is good enough for me)

Which do you think would be the best??
The smaller, the bigger, or it won't make much difference.

The bigger cam isn't really all that big. I like the Performer cam for a stock truck or an automatic car with stock convertor and 3.00 gears, but I would use your 2nd choice on a car with around 3.50 gears and a stick shift or mild stall convertor. You have to make the call. There's about 400 rpms and 15-20HP to be gained with the bigger cam.

would my compression ratio of 8:1 be too low for this cam

planning on getting the heads milled 0.025" - 0.030" to bump cr up, but even then would that be enough?

i think comp cams dual energy best for you.dont forget new cam=new lifters,timing chain,springs...

your comp ratio low for use big cams.
what is your heads,intake,carb,converter...?

I know my compression is too low for a big cam, that's why i asked about this one.

I have stock 74 heads (will be milled by the time of install 0.020" - 0.030") Edelbrock Air-gap Intake, 670cfm Holley, and stock converter)

The reason why i'm going with a summit cam is because they don't cost much, and i wasn't looking at spending $400 bucks to do everything (lifters are included with the summit cam and both together cost $80) and comp won't warranty thier cam unelss you put in new springs (and when this cam is so small i shouldn't need to spend money to change the springs)

Either of these cams is pretty small, so i figured both would be fine with about 8.5 compression.

This is a low buck buildup, as the rest of my money is going towards other things that are more important.

not sure about the springs lift limit as it's not in my book, but they are [email protected] and have an installed height of 1 25/32 (not sure if any of that will help)

i think stock lift is .418/.448

mind if i ask your reasoning? bluestreek
suggested the other, so just wondering why you would suggest the smaller.

If i have to replace the springs i may as well go with the bigger.

Because your comp ratio too low for use bigger cam and your converter stock.
And bigger cam cant work good with low cr.

The bigger cam is still a small cam so i thought the cr ratio should be fine.

A comp cams 270H will work with a stock converter, it has more lift, and more duration than either cam.(224/224 .500/.500) and it does not require 9:1 compression, only the larger 280H does (230/230 .512/.512)

I'd like to go with higher cr by doing a whole rebuild but money is tight at the moment

ok Dubz,when you have got enough money we will make a good combination for your 351w.
Wait and drive your car with stock cam.

nope, all i have is an old engine shot, and it's huge
click here for picture

I found i do not need springs, that 0.501" will still not have coil bind, so you think i should wait for the cam?? It's gonna be probably a couple years before i get back into engine work and the boost in performance over stock would be nice

this is my planned setup (for now)
393 Stroker with forged crank and pistons
9.5:1 compression
280S or larger cam
mild converter
ARF 185's
MSD digital 6plus (may get this in not too distant future)
75-100hp nitrous plate kit

But before i get back into engine stuff i am re-doing the whole interior, replacing most of the cars suspension, upgrading brakes, custom body work, paint job, bigger sway bars, rear end upgrades (i have 28 spline open carrier), transmission upgrades to reduce powerloss, ect.

Dubz,

You may need to rethink your order of work on your car some. I would get the engine ready and install it before I painted the car, or at least at the same time. It would be a shame to damage a fresh paint job while installing the new drivetrain. When you go to paint the car pull the engine, clean and paint the engine bay while you block is out at the shop, put in the new drivetrain, and then paint the car. That is the way I like to do it anyway.

I was thinking same time if i could save up enough $$. But not sure if i want to drive an unpainted car for that long(right now it looks as if i drove it off the junkyard), and i know the engine will never be "done" just only good for a while

I was quoted 3k to paint the car, may try myself since i have a garage and a 60gal compressor and many friends who said they would paint it for me for less. And i'm going with Jet black (color change), no metallics or anything so i'd be able to touch up scratches and stuff if they did happen.
