I just re read your first post, should have done that before my last reply, but you've got some great equipment in your FE. It looks on the computer screen like an engine that should work very well.
So here's my opinion on what you should do, it's an opinion and take it for that, I think you should run a solid lifter cam. That's right. Just pull the hyro bump stick out and replace it with Comp's 282S or 294S. Don't even worry about plugging the hydraulic lifter oil passage. I ran a Schnieder solid cam(236 @ .050) in a stock 428 CJ without any mods, adj. rockers of course. It worked extremely well. I would shift the C6, with 2,500 conv. at 6,200. No problems. It was noisy and it sounded good but didn't shake your car and you to death.
I've had a few days to work on my current 427 with a Comp 282S. I haven't had it on a real road yet but I sure like what I'm hearing in the shop. I do know that Royce has run, and when I say run I mean actually run on the strip, a 282S in his 428. From what I remember, it runs very very well.
So far the only hydraulic cam I've ever liked in an FE is....this is kind of embarassing, but the stock GT/CJ C6OZ-B shaft. But my life with FE's isn't over yet. I may still try another hydraulic cam. Maybe even one of the new fangled Extreme or Xtreme or whatever....if you try one and like it glenn.
Solid lifters for me! Now maybe folks will jump in and give you all kinds of help. |
