While all of Summit Racing’s new Muscle Car cams will physically fit into any small-block Chevy from 1955 forward, the best way to narrow down your selection would be to identify exactly how your engine will be used. You can find that story by clicking here.
RACE IDLE CAM 350 HOW TO
For the big block guys, Summit Racing offers a selection of Rat motor Muscle cams that we will detail in a separate story and we’ll follow that with a piece on cams for Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Mopars, and Fords.īefore we get into the details, if you are not familiar with the cam specs, it would certainly be worthwhile to take a moment to read our story on how to read a cam card that will help with definitions for each of these specifications. While the temptation is to always go with the biggest cam with the most valve lift, there are a few variables that deserve closer inspection. We’ve assembled a chart that lists all seven small block versions of the Summit Racing Muscle Car series camshafts and their specs, offering seven choices for setting your small block Chevy wayback machine.

These cams offer recreations of the original grinds based on more modern lobes with the opportunity to recreate the performance of the muscle car era. Summit Racing’s Muscle Car cam lineup offers a breadth of seven different small block historic applications. In between are a number of other grinds including the conservative L-82 350 option from the late 1970s. To bring back those great days, Summit Racing now offers a selection of replacement muscle car flat tappet hydraulic and solid lifter cams that spans that entire generation of small blocks from the early 1963-65 Fuelie L-79 365 hp 327 solid lifter engines all the way to the 1970 LT1 350 mechanical lifter version. And now with superior cylinder heads and better breathing, there’s an opportunity to build a trick 327 or 350 while still hanging onto those adventuresome early days. While the 21st Century has given way to quiescent hydraulic roller lifters and EFI, there’s still a place in the world for a solid lifter L-79 327 capable of spinning to 7,000 rpm. Those rowdy small block Chevys had a sound all their own.
RACE IDLE CAM 350 MANUAL
Four speed manual transmissions and deep gears were required accoutrements and they employed both hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet lifers to organize the mayhem. There was a time almost six decades ago when screaming, carbureted small-block Chevy engines with big carburetors and 11:1 compression rolled off the assembly line and roamed the earth as daily drivers.
