You would probably have way better result if you make sure you run a tight quench of no more that .039", use a head and piston that will produce atleast 10-1 compression(cast iron head and pump gas) or 10.75-1(Aluminum head and pump gas), and make sure the camshaft is degreed and installed to the Intake Centerline on the Cam Card. Another big help would be to run Rhoads Lifters on it to gain a little more low end and idle vacuum. I personally think you could have good results with that 60245 camshaft in a Street/Strip 455 as long as you take the proper steps above, and make sure to run the proper converter and probably atleast a 3.55 gear. I would say a 3500 stall would work good, but make sure you get a good 3500 stall, so that it is still street friendly, unlike most 3500 stall converters out there. Cliff Ruggles would be a good source for the converter. Hope that helps Brian

The 60245 is quite a change from the 60919 you were thinking about. What is the goal for et? I do like the idea of more lift in this cam, probably too much duration for me though.

311 / 316
248 / 252 112 LSA LOBE LIFT Intake: .341 Exhaust: .349 4 degrees of advance ground into the Camshaft according to Crower. A lot of seat duration. .

Crower catalog says 428 / 455
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPU-PRO / Performance Level 4 Intended for the performance oriented hot street application. These cams offer an extended rpm range with emphasis on upper bottom to top end power (strong mid-range). Performance gears, headers, dual exhaust, larger than stock cfm carburetor, performance manifold and increased compression (9.5:1 to 10.5:1) are required. Works well with automatic transmission if matched with proper ring and pinion gears and/or high stall converter. RPM Power Range: 1600-1800 to 4500-4800 / Redline: 6000+ Fact or fiction from the dark ages ? Actually today they have toned it down a bit since we are seeing the use of more duration being common place. Twenty years ago Crower catalog suggested it was for HOT street/strip situations and 11:1 compression a must. High stall torque converter, low gearing a must and a 6500 plus rpm red line. .

Regarding the 60311 solid flat tappet. Don't remember where but someone noted it was a good substitute in a 455 application for a 041 hyd cam using 1.65 ratio rockers.
292 / 302 247 / 252 .505" / 517" 112 LSA Lobe Lift- .337 / .345 Lash- .022" intake and .024" exhaust .

I was wondering if the 60245 would be OK for a street driven, 10:1 505 cubic inch engine...?

In my opinion, the 60245 would work great in a 10-1 street 505 engine, even without the use of Rhodes Lifters. That much cubic inch should soak it up pretty well...

I think many will agree with that.
Sort of related. A question to Paul Carter involving the 236 degree OF cam in a 505 he was building..... Originally Posted by 72LuxuryLeMans: "This is not a criticism...... I'm trying to learn stuff. Won't an engine of that size swallow that cam up like it's nothing, meaning it will be very docile for it's size? Would a larger cam such as the next largest Dave has be a better fit for a 500+ ci engine. Or is the cam choice because of the D-port KRE heads? With my admittedly limited knowledge I would think that the SD Edelbrock 325 cfm Street/Strip Heads with the Road Paver grind would be very streetable? Or was just as simple as giving the customer what he wants?" Paul's response: "No, you're right about the cam. I think it's too small also, but it's not for my car. And it's not how I would have cammed it. The customer wants a nice idle, and lots of torque, so he bought this cam. I didn't pick this out. He brought me these parts as part of his plan for what he wants." As mentioned the Old Faithful has 236 degrees intake duration. The Road Paver has 246 degrees intake duration. .
