Edelbrock performer 2152 cam.
Has anyone run one of these? Not looking for a racing cam, just looking
and found a deal on this one. I was hoping it may be close to factory specs.
Thanks for any insight guys.
Well after a little more research, I found this one is not for me.

I have run several edelbrock cams. All of them the performer series with the performance range of 1000-5200 RPM. If you want a smooth ride with a little bit of snap around town, these are awesome. I ran all stock springs rocker arms etc.

When i converted my 71 2bbl 350 to 4bbl, i got my self a Year 71 correct Q-Jet alsmost for free, rebuilt it with the Hygrade kit from Rockauto. Really cheap + I never had a better carb for street use when looking at fuel economy and performance. You will love it when the big seconday butterflys open 👍

Your problem was answered on ROP, but apparently, you didn't like the answer.
Pull the cam out,, and check rod to block clearance.
If it's all good, reinstall the cam and timing set.
You have an error in procedure.

The published static compression ratio for your engine is unlikely to be your actual static compression ratio. You need to know the actual numbers for your engine in order to best select a camshaft for your engine.
"Matching cam to compression ratio
Sometimes it's difficult trying to explain to fellows who are new to hot rodding that you have to match the characteristics of the camshaft to the static compression ratio of the motor along with the operating range where the cam makes power. The camshaft is not a stand-alone piece. It must be coordinated with other motor and drivetrain parts in order to arrive at a combination of parts that will all work together toward a common goal."Cam and compression ratio compatibility (crankshaftcoalition.com)

Tri-Carb, he posted that the counterweights are hitting the cam lobes. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/realoldspower/in-need-of-camshaft-help-t17349.html#p162656
Trimble did a bunch of grinding on the bottom of the bore skirts to fit the BME aluminum rods in my 468, so I can only imagine the same issue on a 4.5" stroke, even with conventional rods.
To your point about selection, I agree; that's too small for more cubes, aside from the overall CR.
