Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Springs for 235 and 261 Engines

So the Bulldog (thanks RoadRunner- nice 261 pics too!) is quite a bit bigger, 20-some degrees, vs the Vette cam.
At .050" lobe, the durations and Lobe Separattion are then
Early 235
168-170-108
Vette Blue Flame
189-193-110
Later 235
185-185-109
Bulldog
211-220-110

The Clifford cams at .050 spec out to (I'm using their 194-230-250cid specs)
264h
206-206-110
270h
214-214-110
280h
226-226-110
So the Bulldog would be somewhere between a Clifford 270 and a Clifford 280 cam, not race only but a pretty healthy cam for just 235 inches. Still, at 1100rpm it should idle very smooth. But not 600rpm.
