 :inlove:Ok, for those of you following along on my other thread,  I may dive into a cam change this winter!

I would like some help with picking the cam!

Engine is a 360, compression is 9:1 at best.

Standard bore.

Edelbrock Performer RPM intake / 750 carb

current cam is an old Edelbrock Torker II cam, specs are:

duration at .050 Intake 222 Exhaust 232
intake Lift .447
Exhaust Lift .455
LSA 112
Intake CL 107.

I am running a 727 trans, with a standard lock up converter, but may switch to an A518 overdrive.
Rear gears are currently 3.22.

This is a street crusier, so my goals with the car/cam swap are to make it more streetable. I am not cncerened about a lumpy idle. I would like as much lower end torque as possible, the car will not likely see a track anytime soon.

I have looked at several Lunati Voodoo cams, but not sure which one.

So what would you run????

@Chryco Psycho Do you copy?  CP may not have internet for a couple weeks as he is playing in home country :canada:


Chryco Psycho

No my home country is Panama
I would run the 702 Lunati Voodoo https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/lun-10200702lk
Less duration & overlap , more lift so you gain on both sides

Thanks fellas...still mulling it over.

I am guessing with either of those cams I would need to change the valve springs. I am still running the stockers!

Yeah I was thinking valve seals anyway...not sure they have ever been changed.

Yeah I can see this snowballing really quick...but at the same time, it is probably worth it to make the car more drivable...but no FITECH!!! @Cudakiller70    :drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

Right now, I am going  to keep it together for the summer and fall.

Shouldn't be an issue, the 702 is pretty mild......

Chryco Psycho

I agree the max lift is .490 , usually there is clearance up to .525 lift

Thanks: It's been decades since I ran a cam that small, I thought around .500 was the crossover point. Easy to check anyway.
