looking for a cam for my 305 TPI, the motor is an 88 so it shought have a hydraulic roller cam, i have searched around and seen the crane cam 2032 mentioned alot for a bone stock 305. with that cam, do i need to replace my lifters too? or can i keep them, and is there anything else i would need for the cam to work?

 

Is this the first mod to your motor?

 

Usually you can get away with reusing lifters on roller motors, its flat
tappet cams/lifters that can get you into trouble. I like to replace
whatever I can when upgrading internal parts. How many miles are
on the lifters?

How good condition are the heads?

 

I still have my stock push rods and stock lifters, I have 100,000 miles on my 305.
I reused them, motor runs good. No problems at all.

I know Crane is out of business, but the cam I used is in my sig.

 

it is my first mods which will all be done at one time. which will be a new cam, plus a new metal cam gear, an MSD dizzy and blaster coil, gunna also do hearders and y pipe, if budget allowing, a cat back. there is only about 10k on the motor, it was replaced a few years back. there is no valve tick or anything from the motor, runs strong and quiet.

 

That's great to hear!
Yeah its hard to pull out a good running motor. My 305 runs great.
But I do have a 350 bored .040 waiting in its place
