71 Chevelle new cam idle.

Comp cams H268HE in a small block Chevy 350 in my Chevelle. New Vortec heads, Comp beehives, Comp magnum roller rockers, and some random headers. Idle is set high but you get the idea. Collector gaskets have to be redone. The Crane Cams locks click a bit and are coming out.
Springs 26918
Rockers 1417-16
Hope this helps someone with his or her cam choice.
And yes I know the trunk emblem is not correct.

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good compromise. Long gone though, engine bay is empty now but I have a 6.2L L92 sitting next to it waiting for me to drop it in.

why is it idleing so hi?

[chuckd85032]

@Cocanuthead2 Because the carb was tuned or any of that.

This whole setup has been pulled and an LS1 will be in its place by the end of next week.

ok this is my last question and ill leave u alone. lol if u could do it all over again would u reinstall that cam again.? i've got a 355 ci chevy in a el camino and i've got to keep it smog legal and i've heard that the 268he is a smog legal cam. and im also looking for some decent power over my 204/214 @442/443 lift crane cam im running now. what is ur thoughts on this?

[chuckd85032]

@killingthemslowly79 Yeah, I think so.  It sounded pretty good and was certainly streetable. Might have gone with a bit higher stall though. Now that I have my 383 in I'm pulling it to drop in an LQ9, which if I were to do it all over (which I am I guess) I should have done in the first place.

I think the XE version of this cam might be worth looking at as well if you want a bit more sound without going crazy.

Pretty close to my build only its in a Ford Ranger. Nice to hear it 2 weeks ahead of time ;). Thank you for posting.

@killingthemslowly79 It was higher, something like 2600 or so.
