Technical High Compression 283 Cam Recommendations

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by BOSTONCAMARO, Mar 14, 2023.

  1. I may regret asking but why not

    I am putting together a 11.5 to 1 compression 283 on a shoestring budget (well that has grown). NOS Arias pistons, zero gap rings, ported "416" heads with 1.94's, 1.50's, forged crank, new I beam rods.

    I have a bunch of new cams and plan to run a solid or hydraulic, I am not too worried about driveability, ok if it is on the ragged edge. It will go in a Model A frame with a Super T10 with a 27 T Coupe body.

    I was thinking about using the 327 / 350hp .447 lift advertised 290 duration. Maybe I want something that will work a little better at higher rpms.

    Appreciate the insight.

    Thanks, Tim

  2. That will be one of the choices mentioned
    The 30/30 Duntov (solid) will as well.

    Should be pretty spunky in your 283. I have one going in my 383.

    always keep in mind that a camshaft that works good in a 350 will KILL the bottom end on a small cube engine

    The one I quoted was actually designed for a 283-302. Not that it will pull any stumps, but with his compression should run pretty hard
