wrong engine

Hi guys,
At last post I purchased an unknown engine, was convinced to tear it down as it had sat a while. Now I have a balanced and blueprinted, .30 over 350, with RHS .202 race heads set up for a roller cam, 1.5 roller rockers. It had Hflat tappet .280 cam. I am goint to do the right thing and go with a roller cam. (Qjet,700R4, tall rear axle)
Here is the problem, I wanted s daily driver for a 74 3400# el camino. Im tryibg to find a cam worthy of the engine. But a daily driver? Is it plausable to make this a daily driver or is a new motor in order?  

Oh Hell Yeah!!!!

Unless you want to race it its a great street engine with the correct set-up.

Let us know if the 700R4 trans has been modified, and Rear gear ratio your running.
Its best just tell us what you have....

Hydraulic Roller Cam kits are a big expense. You want the correct
cam the first time!

In my opinion you can't beat a roller for performance and durability.
Try running a flat tappet with 1000 lb spring pressure. There is no comparison.
I don't remember how many flat tappets I flattened out before I wised up and went with a roller. I never went back to a flat tappet once I did.

Im going to go with a stage 2 trans. Im looking at about 400hp. flat tops with 4 reliefs, 9.5:1 as it sits. Looking at cam choices right now. Im trying to get some MPG out of this motor without killing the performance. Any suggestions on cam? Ive got OE lifters and retainers.  

Hi there,
 Look at GMPP book with 218/218 cam.
 Good luck..Skyeking.
