330 cam options
new member here.....would like to upgrade the cam/lifters/springs in my 330. it has factory valve train as of right now. i have an edelbrock performer intake as well as an edelbrock performer carb. i do understand that it is a 45 degree bank angle.
i am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what direction i should go? right now i am considering the crane cams #790531 with a set of their hydraulic lifters and springs.

not looking for anything too aggressive, just something to get it breathing a bit better and get some more power in the 1500-5500 rpm range to match the edelbrock intake power range.
i have also sent a message to cutlassefi as i have seen his name brought up in other threads about custom ground cams, hoping he gets back to me.

this is a 65 330, which i am pretty sure is a 45 degree
according to this ordering guide from crane cams, the 67 330 is also a 45 degree:

HOWEVER, in this chart i found on 442.com it says all 64-67 330's are 39 degree....very confused now:

From my understanding the 45* cam needs to be custom ground there is a lot of threads where members have installed off the shelf ones and it was. The 39* cam I would contact
( cutlasefi ) he is a member here and can custom grind you one per your build and it's not much more or cheaper then off the shelf cams

Spoke to a gentleman at rocket racing....they offer a full package for the 330. Cam, lifters, valve springs, timing gears & chain (roller), adjustable rocker kit, etc. Its everything I need to upgrade the cam/valvetrain the right way. Price tag comes in at $1000 for everything. And he confirmed my engine is a 45 degree. They custom grind the cam based on everything else done to my car, I feel I am in good hands with their help. He asked what bolt ons I had, stall, exhaust, tranny, intake, carb, gears and should get back to me tomorrow with the cam profile he would suggest. I will follow up on this thread when I know more.

not to thread jack, but does that mean this cam also wont work with the 64-66 330s?

It's simply a program change, the cam cores are the same for a 39 or 45 flat tappet. However most cam companies don't want to fool with it because of the low demand.
