I'm finally about to start on my build; I'm looking at a lunati cam with a .522 lift and I wanted to be sure of my valve clearance and I don't want to get something that I can't run in my engine....any guidance and help is truly appreciated.
That still doesn't take into account all the possible variables. Do the clay method or you may wish that you had...I'm running GT40P heads; stock bottom end.
I'm not a cam guru, but that cam looks okay for a stock 302. My Crower is a little higher lift and duration (with my 1.7 RRs) with no issues using 3-bar GT40s. I agree with others that the clay check method is best bet.
