hi,,putting in a new cam is not a big deal,,the air is your biggest
problem,,what caused it to break is the real problem,,dropped
valve,,bent pushrod,,bent valve or more likley a valve keeper let go and
valve hits top of piston,,.nothing drives off the rear of the camshaft
so it could be a bad cam,,,.put air pressure into cylenders?through the
plug holes after you remove rocker shafts and that will tell you if you
have a bent valve or not,,.if your rebuilding a 360 or a 318 the 440 or
413 is a lot easer in a lt of ways,,.if the oil pressure was good and it
did not burn oil ,there is no reason to rebuild the motor,cam and heads
can be done in 1 or 2 days depending how fast you are and if you have
all the parts ready,,.,also a 440 will run on 4 cylenders very well,,,i
drove one from winnepeg to st paul in a 67 gtx,,it acitually got better
millage too,,,.220 ci will move a car very well,,if it has to,,go get
your car home and pull the intake and the other valve cover and the
valley pan undr the intake manifold and turn the engin over with the
starter and tell us what you see,,,...plug the gas line and dissconnect
the ingtion coil,,,,....rick
