Here it is.


68 327 .030 overbore,327-300 horse originally.
flat top pistons
291 Heads making compression 9.3 to 1.
Stock intake, will be changing to performer rpm air gap
Recurved HEI, which I have no clue how to do.:confused:
1 5/8 headers
600 holleyHere is the bad part, the seller lost the cam card and could give me the exact numbers.:( So the cam is the thing I am unsure of for now. I was thinking of this cam.

Is this the right cam for me? Could I/Should I use a small solid cam?

This is going into the Velle back by a 2200 stall th350 and 3.36 gears with a 24" tire. They act more like 3.55 or 3.73 with such a small tire. My cruise rpm on the highway is 2800-3000rpm. What kind of numbers will this make? And if...i ever took it to the track, would it go 14's? Thanks guys.

Just curious....do you know how this thing runs? Is this engine running and driving in your vehicle, or did you ever feel it run while in the previous owners vehicle? Only reason I ask is to guage where its at now and how much you like or dislike the way it acts. That helps in selecting a cam to correct whatever it is you dont like about the engine. Unfortunately.....without knowing the current specs its hard to see which way to go from where it is. But even with a thorough description of how it runs would help. Things like idle vacuum at what idle rpm, where does it start making power, where does it start to fall on its face, where does it feel good cruising at(what rpm). Even without knowing specs, knowing this kinda info paints enough of a picture to guestimate what the current cam is like.

That said, I dont mind your cam choice. The specs are pretty ballpark, but what I dont like is the exhaust lobe. A little larger of an exhaust side would benefit the stock small block head.

Take a peak at this voodoo here. http://www.holley.com/60102.asp

That one got similar .050 intake duration but more exhaust lobe. Id probably prefer it to be made on a 110LSA though for your engine instead of a 112. Or if your not up for the voodoo.....or if you dont want to have it made any differently than advertised, something that is right around 218-220 at .050 on the intake with about 226 -228 at .050 on the exhaust on a 108 or 110 would be nice.

I myself would call Steve at lunati and see how he feels about cutting that voodoo on a 108 or 110.

I would run more converter. Step down to a 10" unit. You can get a low stall 10" that will stall around 3000. Transmission Specialties 10LS. A 327 may only push it to 2800 or so. FYI, I run a 10" 3000 stall behind a 10.4/1 454 motor. I like that cam in a 327 motor.

Voodoo 262 :D

Torque converter is a big factor when camming an automatic trans car.
If you don't know how the car handles the 327 and current converter, You may be in for an unpleasant surprise if you can the motor hot and don't have a matching converter. Currently helping my brother get parts for his 68 Vette. It is a 327/300. Performer intake and headers. I talked him into the bottom end performer cam, though he wanted the wilder cam for the idle! For driving the bottom end is what you use the most.

i definately wouldn't buy another cam until i found out what was in it now. personally i would stay away from those Summit cams and run something a little more modern like a voo doo or XE comp cam if the motor doesn't already have one in it.

The part number of the cam is usually stamped on the rear face. Yank her out and get the number and let's see what it is.

I think the cam you have picked out is in the ballpark. But I would like to see a split pattern cam (like a voodoo) when you are running an exhaust system and more so when you figure the factory type heads don't have the best exhaust port. Stay on the conservative side for picking a cam as it is a smaller motor in a fairly heavy car. My guess is around 300-325hp which should get you well into the 14s. The secret to a good ET is getting the car to hook and leave the line hard.

How much would a voodoo262 cam cost on a 110LSA? Also, would the voodoo 268 work with my combo along with a 2500 stall?

A small solid works great in a 327. How do you know you have 9.3:1 compression? Do you have rebuilder cast flat top pistons which are usually .040 below the deck? If you have a forged flat top you may be closer to 10:1 which will influence your choice of cam. FWIW I have a 327 in a 56 chevy which is very similar. .040 overbore, cast rebuilder pistons which give 9.2:1 compression with 462 heads. I am running a solid with 225 deg @ .050 on a 108 LSA and it runs very strong. I have a 700R4 with a 2200 RPM stall and 3.55 gears. This cam will pull in OD from 1400 RPM up. If you want to go with a hydraulic, an ISKY Mega 264 will be similar at 214 @ .050 on 108 LSA. THe 108 LSA really works well with stock heads on a 327 and 14's are no problem as long as you rev it. I usually take it to 6k in first gear so it has enough rpm for the big drop to 2nd with the 700R4.

Isky's old Z-20 solid lifter cam is about perfect for the little engine, imho..

As is the little Crower, CC's 270S and even the old -097 stock Duntov!!
