I'm currently buiiding a chevy 355 small block. Would like some advice on what cam I should use.
Here is what I have so far: Cast heads #882"s with 2.02 and 1.6 ss undercut valves. With screw in studs and giuld plates, and 500 lift springs. Rhodes hyd lifters, chrome moly push rods, and chrome moly roller rockers.
The block is a 350 bored .030 over with a deck height of 9.015 with 4 bolt mains.
Interals are an eagle crank no. 103503480=3.480 stroke,2 piece rear main seals, internally balanced.
GM 5.7 recond. conn.rods with arp bolts.
Speed pro pistons .030 flat top 4 valve reliefs at 1.540 comp.height.
speed pro moly rings to match.
clevite 77 main bearings

I'm using a 350 automatic with unknown converter. I currently get good idle at 500rpms.
When I bougth this kit the guy throw in what he says is a Comp cam .501 lift camshaft. I have douts about this cam. Can I use this in my buildup or use smaller cam,or change to a bigger stall converter.
Any help I can get is great.
