As none of you know I have a 305 from a '76 Chevy 1/2 PU.
I'm wanting to build this for mild performance but mostly for economy.
I found this 'build sheet' on the net but I can't find any specifics on the cam.
Baseline: Stock 1977 305 2v................17.30s and 12mpg
Performer intake w/ Holley 600 carb........16.50s and 17mpg
Recurved stock HEI and added Supercoil.....16.30s and 17mpg
Headers w/ turbo mufflers dumped at axle...15.70s and 20mpg
Mufflers removed, 3ft tubes on headers.....15.50s and 21mpg
TRW #274 cam, new chain, flex fan..........15.00s and 23mpg
Full duals from headers Dynomax mufflers...15.10a and 23mpg
K$N stub stack, softer secondary spring....14.90s and 22mpg
Magnum roller tip rockers, 1.52 ratio......14.80s and 24mpg
Magnum 1.6 rockers on exhaust side.........14.80s and 25mpg
The 14.80 1/4 mile time doesn't scare me but I really like the 25mpg !
Can anyone tell me more about the cam specs ?
Is this just a stock 350 cam ?
This is gonna be a daily driver / hauler and I'm more interested in MPG and torque than top end.
If anyone can add to this I welcome your input.
