I have a Elgin performance cam in my 350 in my 81 K20 truck, I really like , It is not a high lift cam so it is made for long life and easy on the valve train, I have the spec card, id have to dig out. My machinist that builds race motors refereed this cam to me. I have way over 100k miles on it and is crisp as new. Has a nice little lope at idle, and Im running the Doug Thorley headers, Its got a built '73 010 block with 10:1 pistons, and '72 High perf heads, running a quadrajet carb. Ive been running Delo 15-40 oil in it for quite some time now. Change oil every 3000-4000 mi
