i know in our hp engines class we have a machine that you put the cam in and in anutshell will tell you what the lift is. maybe a local engine shop has a machine like that. :dunno:

exh. lift - 0.2734

int. duration - 194

that lift seems awful small, but i got this right off their site.

Yeah, that\'s lift at the cam. Multiply it by 1.5 (rocker arm) and it\'s a whopping .410 or so. Still pretty anemic.

.......... But what do you expect, it\'s a STUDEBAKER cam... http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif At least that\'s what it said on the link, Chevy, GMC, Studebaker.

........... Off on a tangent, years ago a buddy of mine scored a pair of SBC valve covers from a Studebaker. Really drew a crowd at the track when he left the hood open on his Shoebox Chevy II .... and the valvecoves said \"STUDEBAKER\". http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

To figure out correct lift multiply the lift by 1.5 (assuming you have stock ratio rocker arms) or 1.6.

Well not much on eaither honestly http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif



Money wise.... i dunno, they sell new for about $50.



Power wise... this is more of a low end torque cam with good throttle response but no top end. It\'s impossible to give you a number unless i had all the other specs and factors. I\'d say on a pretty average stock 350 motor around 250hp and 300lb.ft. tq



just a guestimate
