I'm going to build a new motor(66 283 2bbl)for my convertible,I was just tossing around ideas,and getting thoughts from members.I was talking with a guy yesterday that put a factory 327/350 h.p. cam into a 283 with stock 2bbl carb and manifold and said it ran great,so I don't know?
I did that same thing on a 1957 283 V-8 powerpack motor, my motor was stock except for the 350 h.p. cam i put in it. I ended up taking that cam out and putting in a new 220 h.p. cam in it like the original cam because my motor was a powerpack 220 h.p. From personal experience i can say that it did not run well in town but on the highway it ran great. Stick with the stock cam for you particular application, forget the 350 h.p. cam. You will be much happier if you do so. Cheers. George.
