Well,
I am going to have to disagree with my buddy Tom a little bit here.
It should work Ok but you will not have much vacuum if you have power brakes. Your bottom end accelleration will suck and throttle response at low speeds will suck.
I think that with a clutch and a 4 speed it would work a lot better than with an automatic.
To my way of thinking the lift is too low for the duration it is showing. Also did you notice that the gross lift is with rockers of 1.75? I think that it would really like some 1.90 rockers on the intake but those would have to be special made.
Did you notice the cam is recommended for DRAG, not street. That is becuase of the huge overlap.
With the large duration on the short LSA and the huge overlap it will lope like an old John Dear Tractor. That thing will probably still be loping while driving down the street below 3,500 rpm.
Like I said. I think it will work but will be a bear to drive unless you have low gears, big convertor.
I also doubt that your 1972 Chevelle will be weighing as low as 3,600 lbs. Those things only get lighter when they are gutted.
Will it work? - Yes.
Are there much better cams for it? - Tons.
Would I use it if I had to? - Yes. By installing it very advanced.
Will it work in a low compression engine for street driving - NO.
Will it work in a high compression engine for street driving ? - Much better.
Does it cost mure to replace it or use it? - More to use it.
Note;
The previous that is written is only the opinion of one man.
