72 rocket 350 cam install
So by the looks of it this has been covered about 2,000,000 times but lets throw another one on the pile. I just purchased a 72 rocket 350 with 7a heads, an Edelbrock 3711 manifold and 750 cfm carb for my 85 cutlass. I'm going to be using a 3.73 rear gear and 2400 stall 200/4r and wanted to know if the comp cams xe kit would be a good choice to throw in before I put it in the car??? Or should I leave it alone??? I think it has everything in the kit except pushrods. Would I need different length ones??? Here are the cam specs:
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift:224
Duration at 050 inch Lift:218 int./224 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration:262
Advertised Exhaust Duration:274
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio:0.475 int./0.480 exh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I did a compression test last weekend, my lowest cylinder was 125 and my highest was 135, with 125,000 miles, i still can't see any reason to do a rebuild...
unless of course i came into some money, then i'd probably throw a 455 into there..

There's nothing wrong with it to my knowledge. But its out of the car and on a stand and Im more trying to get at would it be worth throwing a cam in an engine that hasn't had a rebuild. Or should I just leave the cam alone and throw the engine in the car???
