RE: Camshafts

Roller cams don't have to use high seat pressures. And they don't have to be hard on the valve train. Sure, you get to the .700 lift ranges and things are going to be pretty stiff but it doesn't have to be that way. Pick the right roller for what you want...if you want a roller.

But, you really need to discuss this with a couple of the cam grinders. They are the real experts and will give you far better advice than opinions expressed here.

My '67 Fairlane is about exactly the same as yours (including your anticipated drivetrain upgrades -3.89 Detroit Locker in a Strange aluminum carrier with alloy 31-spline axles). I'm using a Crane HMV 278-2NC cam which is far less than what it seems you're interested in. It'll make you pee your pants all the way to 6,000rpm. Just converted the car to a big input, close ratio TL just to make it more interesting.

This thread, so far...
