comp cam this is the cam that comp recomended me, it is a dual pattern and surprisingly cheap. i think these are the valve springs that they told me to use but i don't have the part number with me now.
comp springs
i am putting this in a 69 302 block with flattops w/valve reliefs, 54 cc 289 heads that may have a slight port, 3.80-4.10 gears,t5, torker II intake, 600 cfm carb and long tube headers. would this be a good recomendation. how about the crane energizer cam kits. which one of those would best match my combo. i was told that these heads would make 11:1 compression, so i told that to comp as well. i might see how much it cost to get the block zero decked. would i have valve clearance issues. thanks to all.
