I have a 93 GMC Safari that is powered by a OLDS 350/4L60E and the ECM/TBI of a 94 chevy truck. I was given an Isky .512 lift cam,never used,and wondered what would be needed changed to run this cam. The engine is now 9.5:1 and .448/.472 and I know this is radical,let me know if I can make the switch or should we run this cam in the cutty with a carb instead=.472/.496 & 8.5:1 now .

Mike, that lift sounds pretty steep, you may find you wont have enough vacuum to operate your brakes safely if the duration is also big. Is that cam a torque cam? you might check the specs on that cam out before using it in the GMC. It might be a better cam for the Cutlass if you plan on using the car as a "toy". Also, check with the people over ar ROP. They are quite knowledgeable and will be more than willing to help. Good luck.
