Big Pontiac cruiser.

I know I’ve recommended this cam a hundred times or more but for a mild street engine looking for longevity use a factory low-lift lazy lobe 9779068 cam. The more aggressive fast acting lobe aftermarket grinds are more likely to fail compared to the gentle factory grinds as you can understand.

Put the Mellings SPC-7 in it with the highest quality lifters and a new set of springs and drive on. You’re probably spending 95 percent of your time between 1000 and 3000 rpm, this cam will fill the bill. It’s not like the cars that came factory equipped with this cam were slow, they more than held their own on the streets.
