B303 Cam

  • Sponsors (?)


an e cam and 1.7's w/ the .498 lift i believe runs into clearence issues... however someone at the track had a .512 F cam and they said they were cleared for 1.7's... i guess it's all in the Valve cover lol
 
my friend runs an e-cam with with 1.7 rockers and has no piston to valve problems. However the 1.7's he used didnt work with the factory valve covers and when he bought tall covers they wouldnt fit under his GT-40 int. So he sold the intake and got an edlebrock perfomer. He siad that if he had to do it over again he would have just used the 1.6's with a bigger cam.
