Im working on building a mild driver 292 for my ranchero 4 speed 3.50 rear end manual everything. its mostly show but does do long trips. planning a 292 g heads mild port work, some form of longer tube headers 1 1/2 or 1 5/8, around 9:1 compression on e10. ive read a number of posts about y blocks, not needing extra exhaust duration, more lift less duration. i prefer a nice slow lopey idle over maximizing performance. i was looking at Oregon cams and have a few interesting ones that i believe could be decent choices. # .050 duration LSA lift overlap.020 dcr 791 230 230 108 .322 .326 52 7.51 34 250 250 107 .329 .329 74 7.08 807 222 222 109 .284 .284 52 7.34 346 234 228 106 .317 .319 45 7.75
How wrong was i in looking for a cam. #346 seems like a solid cam choice especially for lower mid performance, but would that cause super low rpm window? Does dynamic compression effect rpm window, would raising it on #34 improve performance of it while keeping in on 87 octane? for a lopey idle is it only the overlap that makes a difference or can less overlap on a narrower LSA have same idle as larger overlap on a wider angle. any suggestions where i can learn more, any free programs that would let me better compare these and their effects, other cams companies, grinds, or suggestions.
Thanks Seth
