    The engine is a 350, 10:1 compression, 2g 3x2. The vehicle is a bare bones 36 Ford truck with a 5 speed, 3.70 rear end, and 29" tire. I havn't decided on exhaust yet, either lake headers or speedway rams horns. Does this cam have a good sound but still streatable with my combo?

    thanks

    That Isky is a a solid lifter cam. I'm running a hyd. cam with about the same specs, and it is very streetable and has a nice little "lope" to it.

    Thanks for the pm 32 barn car,I pulled the trigger on one for my 283. corvette valve covers, so I needed an older gentler lobe that would work with lighter springs and stock rockers, 11/1 283 with 4.11's the isky looks like a decent choice and has a relatively narrow LSA which I generally prefer.
