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

I don't think that is quite right. I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that all of the early the vette motors were power glide motors which would have had the the better cam profile. The 261 cam was just a smidgen better I assume to assist with the three carter yh side drafts which were essentially the carter yf on its side. As for the bull dog, it is not like a 270-280 cam. It is a 260 cam. It is not an aggressive profile at all. And notwithstanding that I have never used the bulldog, looking at the specs I would think a smooth idle, a mild cam in my humble opinion. A health cam for the 235 would be something in the 272, 278 or so and .480 lift range. A mild to mid is the 264 cam. A race only cam, and I have one but decided it was to much for the street, was Clifford's 292 duration and .529 lift.
