gioinbroke2,
Don't waste your time w/303B/Acam,you'll be short 20-30 degrees duration @ .050 of what crate motor stocker cam will be@.050,not to mention difference @.200.
If it's good deal buy it resale it and add those$'s to your bullet cam purchase.

I think it depends on what you are looking for. Your car will run under the index with the B303 cam. I ran one in my car for 5 seasons.

Thanks for the replies, didn't see there were more responses till now.

Mike I know it's way to short on duration, but this first engine will be low dollar (stock roller shortblock) Basically to get me out there. Then I'll build a bullet with the gapless rings and proper cam/etc.

Chris, that's great to hear, yes I'm building something with a soft index (I'm also gathering parts so I can eventually go 1979 2bbl U/SA because of the low hp rating)

Now if it will stop snowing and warm up a bit.....

Going over some old posts of mine looking for info.
Just realised I've been collecting bits and pieces since 2013!

There's being cautious, watching the hp hits before committing to a combo...but 10 years??? LOL!!

Happy to say I am making headway finally. (I think just committing to it was the biggest hurdle)
