69Z stock cam
Im rebuilding a 69Z 302 motor and was wondering what cam people are putting in for the stock performance - or maybe a slight improvement. Car currently has a new off road cam/cross ram installed, and we are taking that out and going to a more stock performance and driveability.
thanks for the thoughts

Re: 69Z stock cam
If it's going to be a driver and not a hot rod, I'd give the `70 3972182 LT1 cam strong consideration over the factory `69 3849346 cam.
3972182 camshaft I can help you with anything you might want from Crane, just send me a PM. |

Re: 69Z stock cam
I thought 70 LT-1 would be 3972178
Are those numbers interchangeable?

Re: 69Z stock cam
does the 182 cam still have the nice 30/30 sound as well?

Re: 69Z stock cam
I believe the 178 cam is the 1970 version. The 182 Crane that Eric talks about is a real good cam kit for your application. Remember Fast, with manifolds you will NOT get that tinny, kinda pinging sound you will get with headers.

Eddie: Answer to your question is: almost. The lash settings are a little tighter (24 / 26 IIRC instead of 30 30, so you don't get the clickety clack quite as loud. Sound out the tail pipe is virtually the same. Starting in the early 70's GM sold the 178 cam as the replacment for the first gen 302. Thanks Eric for clarifying the numbers.

Re: 69Z stock cam
Not sure what the anomaly is re: the part #'s, that's just the number Crane uses for the LT1 cam now.
