Title: Head/Cam experts: Will my setup work?
Post by: Ifixyawata on January 11, 2006, 02:57:00 AM
Since I have all these parts sitting around, waiting to be installed I figured now will be a good time to see if they will all work together.  Currently I have a set of E7TE heads (care of Zach - 'Cougarcruisin) and a Speed Pro Cam (care of Nick - 'Blown306Cougar') See specs below.  Just wondering if these two will work together on my stock '85 Non-Roller block without clerance issues.


Cam Specs:

                  Intake/Exhaust
.050 Dur. -  204/214
SAE Dur.  -  280/290
Cam Lift  -  .280/.295
Valve Lift-  .448/.472


I think that's all the specs needed, but if you need more, there's a few others listed on the box, like Lobe Centers and such.  Nick told me this was very close to the profile of a stock HO cam in it's roller form.  Help would be appreciated in this matter as I am not good with a micrometer.

One other thing.  The heads don't currently have rockers.  Any specific rockers I should look for?

I dont see you having a clearance issue. at least with stock ratio 1.6 rockers.

that cam would like n2o with its split lift and duration.

stock H.O cam lift is .444 at the valve w/1.6 rockers

You'll be fine with the 1.6's.  If you have valve relief pistons you can go 1.7 no problem as well...
