Help Me pick a Cam

[torq455]

if you are going with NOS, then you do want a lot of exhaust duration and lift. NOS burns hot and it wants to get out fast.

This will be a N/A engine with maybe a shoot of nitrous. With 1.6 rocker it would equal .509/.522 lift

[torq455]

is this for a turbo application, or N/A? turbo cam: maybe a little less exhaust duration and intake lift ~.520, LSA 114-116. N/A: ~224/228, lift ~ .550/.550, LSA 110. I'd shoot for CR of 11-11.5 with porting and such, you should reach your goals.

Well no H272-2 Crane cams. Have to go to delta and have one custom made. Was thinking 220/232 dur @.050, lift w/1.5 .477/.490, LCA 113. ICL 107. What's your thoughts. Redline around 6200, hp260@crank?, tq280? 3.4/3500, cr10.5 ,headers ,65TB

[Lilchief]

Crane is closed, had to check a whole lot of places to find a 272-2. New 3.4/3500 will have 20cc dish pistons with 0 deck height and yeild 10.5:1 cr ,custom forged pistons. Would like to find some 1.65 full roller rockers. Present 3.4 is the same configuration only 8cc dish pistons. I might sell the short block so it will still be a balanced rotating assembly.

272-2 with 1.6 rockers has .498/.512 from memory, I have one here, but am unsure of which cam I'm going to use yet (also have a custom grind).

I didn't think Crane was still open....

You put 6" rods in the 3.4? And how do you plan on getting 10:1? The 3.4/3500 with 3500 head gaskets (poor .07" quench) is 11.5:1.

awww man! wtf? the USED to have a hella lot of cams.

there's http://schneidercams.com/ too.

It would be great if you could see a cam listing for the 660 on the site. http://schneidercams.com/chevrolet60degv-6.aspx

i have a crower 03050 forsale with springs locks and retainers for the iron heads
http://crower.com/misc/m_cat.shtml with 1.6 rr its a .501 .524 lift all nib

Hey I don't see for instance Crower specifying anything for the 3.4, will the 2.8/3.1 cams work for the 3.4? I haven't looked at Comp or anything but the motors are all the same otherwise except for displacement...
Do you have the 1.6rr's and lifter set for sale aswell or just the cam? How much are you asking? Ever come to Canada?
And brings up another question, I had a guy around here on cl selling a set of 1.6rr's for a 2.8 and I wasn't sure if they are a direct bolt on for a 3.4. I'd like to put a cam in my 3.4 to put the porting and headers to use.

just pick your application.

[Lilchief]

So where could a person find a Crane H272-2 cam ?

[torq455]

weak or not, i love the sound it has. has a nice rumble by the doors.

[923.4v6]

923.4v6, How does it run? Does it idle ok? Any 1/4 mile runs? With present 3.4 iron heads, 9.8 cr ,6" rods best time 14.9, hope to knock off a full second with new heads, intake and higher cr.

It seems to run ok, no 1/4 runs yet. Just got it running after the strips closed. It idles good just a slight cam sound. I've been looking around for someones 14.0-14.5 1/4 datalogs to compare mine to from the time I quit spinning to 95mph. Mines also in a camaro probably 500 lbs more than a fiero though.
