I have recently bought a cam and lifters kit from summit for

>degreeing your cam
Waste of time and for nerds. Just slap it in there with the timing marks, and wing it if the instructions call for a change from stock

Cams more radical than stock need higher compression and better flowing heads.

I may do that , depends on how fed up with the thing i am by the time its time to ram it in

Update:
This is my list of parts i need?
Add from it ?
Take away ?

Engine is completely stock 305
>inb4 get a 350
Putting an edelbrock intake on it, may get heads milled for compression (8.5 to 1 lmao)

>>17730681
You mean like 6 to 1.
And 305s are ass

>>17730668
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are a few cars that get a decent bump from just a cam. 5.7 hemi and all the Chevy truck engines.

>>17730668
Not needed , but I'm sure the engine would love it. Cam will work with stock stall converter (autotragic)
Not buying heads for a 305, this is just a temporary thing. That really is a waste of money.

>Engine is completely stock 305

Don't even bother with new springs etc. if you already have used ones then.

Hope you didn't get a cam bigger than the k1103, cause they won't work well with stock heads. Especially not 1.84/1.50 305 heads.

It's your wallet pal. This project is also a complete waste of precious time and energy. Get a 327.

>>17730755
>Get a 327.
Even a bigger waste of time if it's a small journal.

Wouldnt that mean uneven wear on the cam? Engine has almost 150k on it, I dont want it shitting out early. Care to edit the list I posted? It won't be driven more than probably 5k miles a year. Going in this beauty

>>17730755
I'm camming and installing an intake I already have lmao. Not going to be much. I would love a 327, but not looking to engine swap.

If it's broken in properly, then no. Especially if you aren't driving it much. You'll spend more on springs and retainers than buying a whole new summit cam. Just put new valve stem seals in the heads and slap it together.

Not needed, just recommended otherwise you're moving power to where the engine runs out of breath.
>more compression required to run a hot cam
Wat

>>17730822
Throw the 305 away, and go get a junkyard LQ4 6.0, a 4L*0E, and a driveshaft.
Fucking swap it fagit.

>>17730758
What's wrong with small journal?

>>17730637
need a tool to measure installed height dont forget shims either

>>17730825
brilliant insight and excellent contribution to the thread

>>17730822
If you're putting the 305 in that truck, then stick with the stock cam. You'll need every last ft-lb to get moving.
