I appreciate you looking at this.. Yes, I think you are right. I wonder if it's even as much cam as original?

Anyway, the way the exhaust sounded when I listened to the video of it running before he removed it from his car bears this out. Very smooth and definitely no lope at all.

It's all okay though because my objective isn't performance. If it was I would probably spend several more thousand building a 400 or 455. The more I think about it, I will probably just leave it as is. Maybe even remove the 4 bbl and use my 2 bbl manifold with rebuilt carb. A new cam might mean different push rods and possibly valve springs... I just don't want to put a lot of money into a ho-humm engine when I already have one that, though not powerful, runs decent... Similar to how the original once did.
