hi, this is the engine i want to build, but im not sure about this camshaft...

-350 bored 0.30 over with 400 crank (383)
-trick flow 23 degree heads (2.02 and 1.6 valves)
-flattop pistons (compression about 10.0)
-600 cfm holley 4 barrel
-single plane manifold ( torker 2 edelbrock)
-small tube headers with open exhaust
-1.5 rockers
-smalltube headers with open exhaust
-sbc-crane-119841 (roller)
intake lift=0.539
exhaust lift=0.538@0.50

could someone please dyno this combo for me?

what can i expect from this combo? sloppy idle? no idle? hard starting?
thanx a lot

if it were me I'd want 1-3/4" header tubes (and only 1 set LOL!)
would ditch the torker2
would get a slightly larger carb

what are the rest of the cam specs? (yep, I'm too lazy to go look for myself) hydraulic or solid roller?

by open exhaust you mean no exhaust or straight pipe? get a nice 2.5" w/ h or x pipe and good mufflers

No cam is too radical. I drive a .513 lift 350 and it's nice. With the 410 rear and 295 60 15's it's a low rpm launch like 1.5K-2K or so to keep from churning too much.
I'd estimate around 435 or so hp. Starting is easy with a chokeless carb but a little tapping the throttle till rolling help keeping it going. Idle if set to around 600 will make waiting at lights cold a little rough but around 800 up it's an easy task. Not really a generic answer for idle charicteristics though. For what you can expect..... after hitting the gas and the rpms start to get to the hp jump it's a lot of wooooo hoooo !!!!!! I'm glad I have this cam.
You get one ugly hp boost going to a higher compression and get addicted to higher octane.

Here you go.

Cam installed straight up, 10:1 compression all other parameters as specified.

it does look good huh?

He, He!!! Dandy "tow-truck" engine!! pdq67

what ya mean by that? :confused:

What pdq67 is saying, look at the usable torque from 1500-6000 rpm, its all above 400 ft/lbs.

Tow truck motor YES !! Hmmm, I better go buy some U-joint stocks.......looks like the market will go up !!

Awesome program Mark.

Rolling,

I just meant that you have created a very good midrange torque monster along the same lines as the BSE type engine! Great pick and match of parts! Your motors midrange "grunt" will do well for you...

My 496 is made along these lines but I'm only using a CC 282S solid cam and cubic inches to get it. Your torque peak is actually 500rpm lower than mine at 4000 vs mine at 4500 rpm which to me makes it a schosh better, imho.. You know, the wider the torque and hp peak spread, the more usable power sorta thing for the rpm difference...

pdq67

what stall-convertor u guys suggest?
i probably will have a long rearend (2.93 or so)
