This is going to be long so I'll apologize.
I'm 22 years old and I have a 58 Chevy truck and I'm looking to make it my daily again after sitting for 2 years.
The current combo is a 292ci, rpm air gap, 4 bbl 500cfm, too big of solid cam ( I was 18 but learned the hard way
), 9:1 or slightly above... port matched heads (416 305 heads), headers. Basically I'm looking to put a milder cam in but I cam across a grind for another solid cam. The grind is 219/229 @.50" .456"/.479" lift on a 114 LSA. Does sound like a good cam to match?
I was going to go hydraulic but I do like the way solid cams run.
My other question is if I could use poly locks and a stud girdle on this cam and be ok with press in studs? I never used them on my current cam because I was told I might pop a stud out. Also I'd be going to full roller rockers.
The rest of the driveline is a Tremec TKO 600 5 Speed with a Ford 9" with Detroit Locker and 4.11 gears.
I would appreciate your guy's help with this!
