Car: '98 Durango, '77 Vette
I need a roller cam for a TPI SBC 400, Hyd. Having no luck.
I am building a motor for my 1977 Vette. I have a 1973 SBC 400 block. I have built heads from similar year with pushrod guide plates. I am installing the controversial retrofit for roller, which means I will be drilling the block for the spider tray and guide bars. I have a TPI setup for this motor from a 1992 Z28. Same for the Serp. system.
I need a cam for this motor. I know the 400 uses slightly more air and fuel than a 350, and the chip in the ECU will need to be burned to change the settings. I would like to stick with a cam designed for one of the roller small blocks, since they are stock, cheap, and easy to find. I would like to have a little grunt on the lower RMP range, but still not get winded when I pass the 3000 - 4000 range. This is not a race motor...it will be a weekend car, used for playing on the streets. Some mild light to light racing could be in the cards.
Any and all help is appreciated, but I just need a cam best suited for my needs. Thanks.
