Re: [Chrysler300] CAMSHAFT RECOMMONDATION

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxx>]

The early chrysler 300s had some some relatively mild cam grinds, 
compared to todays offerings. A more modern grind would definately be of a 
benefit and the right cam will definately improve the high compression/ low
gas quality problem we have with the older engines. Call one of the more 
reputable cam grinders' tech help line numbers and tell them what what you 
need, they should know better than any of us what the best choice would be. 
If you're going to be surfacing the block and heads, I would suggest 
investing in some adjustable rocker arms & pushrods, Chrysler engines 
really really respond nicely to having all the hydraulic lifters preloaded 
evenly- something that a lot of todays mechanics don't even check when they 
assemble an engine.
