Re: 1968 c10 396

I think the 396 has stock cam, but could be wrong.

Will have to get the head casting #s, have them highlighted in a book about how to build max power BBC in a box somewhere, I remember on the page with the casting numbers and description it said 1968-1976 427 heads with oval port.

Not sure if that's what these 1968 truck 396 engines came with, or someone put those on.

Anyways was thinking of putting in a cam to go with the Edelbrock fuel injection swap and the new summit headers.

Even if putting in a better cam, it's still going to run out of rpm at 4000-5000 rpm as others have said?

Over the years people have told me don't waste time on the the 396, go 454. However it runs pretty good, and I already have it.
