Re: Speaking of 440 cams



I think you'll have to remove the cam and check for numbers on it then.

Definitely don't have the brand.  And I don't think I know anybody with those tools you speak of.  As I said, the guy I bought the engine from couldn't remember.  He sold the engine to get his wife an operation, but did have the engine in a 79 or 80 Lebaron which he was racing.  I heard it run and decided I'd buy it.  Paid $2400 for it.  my buddy got his 440 built a year or two later and it cost him over three grand.  He had new 30 over pistons which added to his build.  But he had my old cam shaft.  Anyway, I figured I got a pretty good deal with mine at $2400.

Cory...if you have a dial indicator and a degree wheel, you can get a ballpark number for lift and duration, then if you have the brand, check out their website for specs close to the ones you determine.

Hey guys, when I bought my 440 for my Polara, the old guy I got it from said he re ringed it and put a cam in it.  I asked him what size but he couldn't remember.  Saying only that "it was a step or two above the factory cam."  My question is this.  Is there a way to determine what size cam it is without tearing the engine apart?  I'm trying to match an intake to my car but don't have a clue what size cam is in my 440. 
 
A quick break down of my car.  65 Polara 3.23 gears 245/60/R15 tires up front 255/60/R15's on the back.  Custom built 727 tranny with a shift kit, factory torque converter.  And the 440 with new rings and don't know what cam.  I`m guessing that with the way bigger than factory tires my gear ratio is more like a 2.97 ratio.  The factory tires I think were 195/75/R14's.   Oh and I'm running an Edelbrock 750 AFB.  One thing I did notice after changing tires and rims is my car lost a little off the line.  Again I think that's do to the bigger tires.
