I did a search but did not find the stock lobe lift for any of the stock camshafts. Does anyone have them for the different years and engine sizes? Thanks

By the book, the 1957 272, 292, and 312 4V V8 camshafts had 0.272” lobe lift on the intakes and 0.285” on the exhaust.

From the 1955 Service Manual, the 272 & 292 V8 camshafts had 0.264” lobe lift on the intakes and 0.262” on the exhaust.

Ted, is there anywhere here in Waco that can grind a cam to that stock 57 spec? Tom. I’m not aware of any cam grinding equipment remaining in the Waco area. I have toyed with the idea of having Isky make a reproduction ’57 grind though as the E4 ground on 112° lobe centers is still just a tad big on some applications. The E4 on 112° lobe centers is still worth 10-15 HP over the factory ’57 grind so it’s tough to go backwards sometimes.

What about the bigger E and F code cam? Or was that over the counter and not factory? Oh, in the Eichman book, .290 and .290 lobe lift.

It worked but you will have to turn your laptop/monitor on its side to read it. Damn phones!
