Hello all ! Well after about twenty years of running the old big block El Camino finally began to use more oil than Gas! and thats not easy, While its out for refreshing I am gonna stab in the spare BBC that I scored a few years back and I see it has a Wolverine cam in it, the part number is WG 4359 . I am told by the original owner of the engine is that it was a mild cam and perfectly streetable, I believe him but would be ecstatic if someone here has a Wolvering/ blue racer cam book with he specs and description, any takers?? thanks all
This is just me but if I couldnt find specs on the cam I would probably change it for one that I picked myself. I would tear the motor down and look it over internally to make sure everything was up to snuff. I would check the piston numbers and cylinder head casting numbers to try and figure out an estimate of the compression ratio . I really hate to pull a fresh motor out is my reasoning for this. Maybe you dont mind. Just my thoughts.
Thanks guys, I know this engine is fresh though it's been stored in the corner of the garage for twenty years, all the clearances are good and parts are fresh, I was just trying to get some more info on the cam just to know. The engine was put together by a reputable engine builder so I dont expect to have to pull it out! lol. If any body else can get the specs it's a plus but i'm not losing sleep on this one!
