Cory...I think we answered this one for you a few
weeks back, but...you need a dial indicator and a degree wheel to get any kind
of accurate measurements of the cam in the motor without removing it...otherwise
you're just guessing wildly.

Subject: Cam size
Hey y'all. Going out of town until Monday
but got a question for the group. Is there any way to determine
what size cam I have in my 440 without taking it apart. The
reason I don't know what size cam I have is that I bought the motor from a guy
who needed money for an operation. He said he put in a cam "a size or
two above the factory" but did not remember what grind. Plus he re0
ringed it. He said he used the original pistons. The block is a
1970 casting. The reason I ask this is cuz I'm trying to find the best
matching intake for my car.
Here's
what I got. 65 Polara with above engine and a rebuilt 727 tranny with
the stock torque converter. 3.23 gears with 245/60/R15's on the front,
and 255/60/R15's on the back. The car is 100% original except for the
tranny, engine and tire size. The original tire size was something like
195/75/R14. Damn car would lay 50 foot patches of rubber no problem with
those little things on there.
I've wanted to ditch the cast iron boat
anchor for a while now but haven't had the money until now. And I want
to do it right the first time instead of being unhappy with my choice of
intake. So yeah, I need some serious advice with this. Or should I
just pick an intake and be done with it. What I really want is some more
low end grunt without sacrificing my top end. I know the much larger
than factory tires will make my gear ratio closer to a 2.97 or so. As I
said, I don't want to be unhappy with my choice of intake. So any help
would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cory
