Hello, have read a lot of info here, just signed up, anyway, I have a friend who is looking to change cams in his 406sbc, it is basically a driver but he is looking to have a nice lopey idle like my bbc solid roller but stay hydraulic and not change springs, rockers etc.
Anything out there that will make him happy?
its basically a stock 406, dual plane alum. intake, 4 barrel carb.
Thanks, BRian

Brian,

Not changing springs, I'd use either the VooDoo 262, with 219/227 at .050 and .468/.489 valve lift, or one of my older Lunati grinds, like the 301A5LUN, 272 at the seat, 217 at .050, .454 valve lift, 112 LSA, lots of vacuum, very long street life. or the 301A6LUN, 276 at the seat, 221 at .050, .454 valve lift, and 110 LSA, lopier idle, enough vacuum for brakes. I also have a 301A8LUN, 221/230 at .050, still .454/.454 valve lift and 112 LSA, that works power brakes.
All of the .454 lift hydraulics have a long history of long life on the streets, many over 100,000 miles. MY daughter used the 276 as an exhaust lobe in her 383, and it went 8 years on one set of springs, rockers, and lifters.
Tell me more about the engine and car and we can narrow it down.....
