.To this day, I prefer the rattle of that old motor over any other camshafts....I'm sure different grinds made more power, but that thing sounded nasty....
The 1st design L88's....'67 and '68 (even though NHRA doesn't recognize the '67)....were .562/.584 lift. The second design ('69) cam was a .560/.580. Even though the lift was close between the two, the profiles were quite a bit different. -Al
