If you want a cruiser I'd stay tame on the camshaft.

Owning a 56 nomad myself they are heavy cars. If you have a good recommendation for a cam that is like those I mentioned BUT BETTER lay it on me! GM puts allot of time making combinations that work well in general use.Īlso, what is a good source to buy GM grind Cams at a good price like the GM #3863151 350 HP 327 cam and the GM #3896962 350 L-82 cam? I've always had good luck sticking to GM part combinations rather than mixing and matching. The lobe center angle on the cam is 110 while the GM cams are 114 which I've been told will reduce vacuum to give it a roll in the idle like old iron.ĭoes anyone know if the Competition Cam 268H will have plenty of vacuum for good power brake use, or would I be better to stick with the GM #3896962 cam of the L-82 engines. I've been told that the Competition Cam 268H is a good alternative to the GM L-82 Cam, but I'm concerned about it having enough vacuum to operate power brakes properly. I'm considering the GM #3896962 cam of the L-82 engines as a better choice for a 350 CID. I've been happy with many engines with a GM #3863151 350 HP 327 cam. I'll be running (64CC Alumn heads 1.60/2.02 valves 190 CC intake runners), roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer Manifold & Edelbrock 600 CFM Carb. It's a Cruise Night Car not a racer, so I just want an engine that feels good away from the light to 5500 rpm. I need some opinions on a cam for a 350 L-82 type engine for my '56 Chevy Wagon.
