1964 Dodge Polara Restoration Ep.12 318 Poly Build Pt.7 How to degree a Cam..... Kind of!

Looks like you both had fun with the video! 🤣 Always good to double check just to make sure. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩

Thanks Zane! One more part dialed in.

It’s a lot harder than it looks. That timing wheel is a pretty cool piece of kit. Just like everything else you’ve done to this engine, a little precision and extra effort goes a LOONNG way.👍. Looks like you guys were having a lot of fun🤣

Thanks Cody this was my first time degreeing a cam, as every other engine I've ever built was mostly stock. I was surprised at how far off it was! That would have left a LOT of horsepower on the table.

Well done. I haven't done that since the 1990s.

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

It was the first time for me!

What is the lift and duration of the cam I understand that you can't go to high on the lift info ive seen recommended not exceed 477 is this correct

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

Cam is the original that was reground. Wound up being .380 lift and 284 degrees of duration. I'm not sure on what max lift would be, but I would imagine pushrod angle will quickly become an issue on these as lift increases.
