Projects '65 buick 300 v8

i have an all iron 300 c.i. buick motor out of a boat, can anybody point me in the direction of finding out what the cam specs are?

 

Im trying to avoid tearing it down, it came out of a boat and ran great when i pulled it, it had only 108 hours on it and from everything i can see, it seems reasonable that is accurate. i just wanted to put a different intake and headers and wanted to know where to start with the tune.

Also, ive heard of top-end oiling issues with these motors and remedies, anybody know the details of the fixes?

 

Degree wheel and a dial indicator

 

Yes, best way to do it without disassembly. And easy.

 

thanks for the input, ive never done that operation before, would i remove pushrods and set the dial indicator on the lifter?

 

Now Thats some funny shit..LOL

 

Not so funny if he's never done it before! (remember all the times you did it with your hand before you realized you should be doing it with a partner?) Set your dial indicator on the rocker arm on the pushrod side and record your info from there

 

Now that's some funny shit right there!!!
