Cam Clearence

289 · 12-09-2003, 08:23 AM

I was wondering can any one tell me if a .516 lift on my cam will work with stock heads stock pistons, but crane valve springs. Also where can I find a bolt kit for a Eldlebrock performer intake.
Thanks

It should... should... No guarantee unless you check. Usually the duration makes the difference in P/V clearance issues. For example, I'm running 1.90/1.60 valves with a cam of 224* Intake, 232* Exhaust (at 0.050") and lift is .542" / .563". I had to clearance the notches only slightly to make it work properly.

Hope that helps.

dur. is needed to decide if it will clear or not. your lift is fairly low so you should have no problem assuming your heads havent been milled alot. the springs have nothing to do with p/v clearance. as for bolts, intake bolts are intake bolts. they dont make special bolts for certain intakes.
