    I have to pull my motor out, so while it is out I want to put a cam in. Any recomendations? I am looking at the Isky 88 or 77B. I am running a Fenton 2x2 intake, Eldelbrock Heads, and Fenton headers. It is a 50 8BA.
    thanks

    Got a Schneider 260º / .355 lift in my 99 Merc. Sounds and runs great on the test stand. Too bad my '29 rpu ain't finished yet.:(
