summit camshaft ?

Just my personal take on it, but the price is low because hydraulic flat tappet lifters are cheap compared to roller lifters and quiet compared to solid lifters without the need for frequent adjustments.

I think that is a nice camshaft for slightly better than stock performance with either 2 or 4V heads. It won't wring out the maximum potential performance from the 351C, but neither will it cause problems with your power brake vacuum booster or the vacuum modulator of a Automatic transmission equipped car.

Best of luck.

For that price, buy 2. If the first one breaks, you got a spare!!!

Now, for the Debbie Downer part....

Don't forget when changing camshafts, you have to change lifters, not to mention the need for a front engine seal, water pump seal...blah blah blah.

And after all that, you will probably need to resize your pushrods also. I have been told you can only size your pushrods once you get the cam in, and you will require an adjustable pushrod to get the right height.

I guess I am just saying, the cam is cheap. But like a cheap date, once you get the date to lover's lane, you might find the date was cheap for good reason.
