comp cams factory muscle 194h camshaft
Hello everybody, im going through my massive collection of engine parts mostly mopar stuff and I ran across a camshaft... new in the box comp cams 194 factory muscle for oldsmobile 260-455 1967-1990. just bought a 1977 oldsmobile cutlass with a 350 olds and th350. all stock except for headers. what would happen if I installed this cam? its free...lol but would it run worth a crap? heres the specs, my motor has 8.0.1 compression, stock qjet and intake. it has hedman headers and im running 2.5 inch duels on it next week. stock th350 and stock 2.73 gear. the cam is 308/308 advertised duration and 233/233 at 0.50, 0.474/0.474 valve lift advertised and a fairly wide lobe separation at 113 with an rpm range 1800-5800. I know its an outdated single pattern cam but I do remember the factory w30s sounding awesome. I figured why not since its free... ordered it for a 455 I built for a good friend of mine who was restoring a 71 442 and he ended up wanting a lunati voodoo, but if its going to kill my car ill just hang on to it for a 455 in the future. or put it in a stock 260 with a 2 barrel (that's a joke)

You will need more gear to be happy; more compression would be nice but that original spec early W30 and W31 grind will work and sound like it ever did. Just don't expect a lot of low end, or below 3000 rpm, with it in a low compression 350.
