getting me a 350

Travis, a tighter lobe separation would give a bigger lope. This is why most factory cams had 114-116 LSA whereas performance cams are 104-110 typically.

Brandon, Crane Energizers were only $129.99 brand new. I know I have one of the last ones made. They are no longer sold under the Crane name because Crane Cams sold out a couple of years ago. Summit bought the rights to the Energizer Cams recently & now sells them for... :gasp!: $129.99 as Summit Cams! Energizers were the Crane budget cams.

Get me the part #s for the cam. Look in the rocker arm valley for the head casting #. Look on the back of the block for all of the block #s. Report back here for analyzing.

oh, my mistake, either way, the engine sounds how i wanted, so at least i didnt get it in the car and realize it wasnt what i wanted.

cant get to the head number because i have the valve covers on and i dont want to change the gasket yet and still its over a hundred dollar cam.

engine = GM 460777
intake= 848280 T - 18438572



those are the numbers i found so far

im with you on this, i cant even think of anything that is interchangeable between the two except for the carb

The distributor is the same for BBC and SBC. The rocker arms might physically fit, but it would be a step back for the big block since the factory ratio is 1.7/1 for the big block and the small block is a 1.5/1 factory ratio.

If the seller told you anything other wise, he may be talking out of his A$$, or doesn't know anything about Chevies.

and not to pick on you but i strongly encourage you to do as much research as you can on cars because with a lot of this high dollar stuff all your paying for is a name when you could get a lot more performance for less if you understand the numbers.

You got hosed........ 460777 = 78-79 305 passenger car engine. Didn't this happen once before & we suggested looking up the #s before buying? I didn't even waste my time on the intake casting.

i just use the stocks one...eventually i go with an MSD distributor but i cant afford it not...once i get another car im probably just going to put the 454 in my el camino anyways, but i need to get the 700r4 and rebuild my rear end first.

i should have checked before i got it. but all is good
he is my neighbor and it came out of his 78 camaro (which makes sense) but i only paid him 110 so far and i just called him i am getting my money back and he is getting his 305 back.
appreciate it rago next time i will look. on the engine it says 350 and i thought it was right next time ill look at the casting number

That's not good news. Maybe I should send a friend over to that guy's house for a serious conversation about honesty.....
