Re: Biggest cam in 305?

Re: Biggest cam in 305?

Sorry for the high jack, but I just spent time with Compcams and found that the XE-262-4 would be the best to go with. I have a standard tranny. It says some machining has to be done?????????

Re: Stock LG4 305 from an 83 Camaro, cam recommendations please

You are probably right. Will LT4 springs work on the 305 heads with a hotter cam? I have an extra set laying around.
