Motor is going in a 98 camaro Z28 I got a cam from roshan at RPM spec's are 235/243 .621 .624 lift 113 lsa. Yea its nice having the motor out of the car to work on deff alot easyer.

I am guessing by converter choice it is not a daily driver. :mrgreen:

Nice work! Thats a pretty beefy cam you want with too. Paint the valve covers black to match, that would finish it out

Yea i painted the block black so i thought going with silver would stand out more. Lol no DD for the camaro but I will be driving it to atco and on the weekend's who need MPG lol.

Those cam specs are almost identical to mine, (236/244 .640/.649 113 LSA 105 ICL). I have a feeling you're going like it! Can't wait to see the car when its running!
