RV grind roller cam 69 350 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Who makes a good RV grind in a roller cam for a 350. Thinking somewhere in the 200 @.050 int. 210 @.050 exh. 112-114 centers .475-.500 valve lift.

Thinking about one for my 2wd 69 Chev. C-20 350 granny geared longbed. I have all the other components from my racing days, just looking for a decent grind.

I'm also interested. Additionally what's the recommendation for a non-roller block...add components necessary to run rollers are get a roller block?

I know that you would need to keep the cam from walking. You can get a cam button that takes care of that. The other thing is what material the cam is made from. A billet cam means you would have to change the dist. drive gear to a compatable material. Both are easy and cheap to take care of. Roller lifters for older blocks are readily available and if the grind is on the stock to moderate side the stock springs are fine.

dan,if you're building a new engine,just start with the roller block.That way you can keep the truck running with the one that's in it until the motor is ready.Otherwise
