LT1 Cam on EBay ...

Is this the right cam for our TBI Cars?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...181973&r=0&t=0

What do they mean by Chevy 350 LT1 CLEANED Camshaft?

This will fit a stock 305, right?

that looks like it man good luck. Plan for a $300-400 spending spree on misc stuff. Sonar_un came out around $300 I think. I know that I came out at a little over $315. It was worth it. Next up I have heads and an intake in mind.

When you have the intake off you'll realize that you'll want to change that, too. The cam swap has all kinds of little hidden costs like that.

Wonderfull .... didnt expect that.

Still though, what do they mean by CLEANED Camshaft. Is that some sort of talk for a refurbished one, or some idiot telling the world that he cleaned it before he is selling it?

lets see-
oil, oil filter, antifreeze, if you have an auto tranny you might need some auto tranny fluid, if you have ac your going to need someone to evacuate the system, if you have ac you will also need freon and ac oil, a timing chain set, timing chain gasket and oil pan gasket, intake gasket, valve cover gasket, distributor gasket, thermostat, thermostat gasket, might also be time to change some belts and hoses (i deleted my A.I.R. at the same time), and all the odds and ends I forgot about. Oh yeah I had to pay a machine shop $35 to machine my cam on a lathe because it was .012-.017 to big. The guy I bought my car from probably had the engine rebuilt with undersize bearings. The guy at the machine shop said the (LT1) cam was the standard sized and the other cam had been ground down. So be prepared for anything. Oh yeah and like 20-30 dollars on food and water.

BTW it sounds like someone just telling the world that he cleaned it up for sale. Why dont you email him and ask him?
