Our Pontiac's camshaft length
Does anyone know off the top of your head what the length is? I'm taking some planning measurements and am wondering if I'll be removing the trans cooler or can scoot it enough for an in chassis swap. Thanks.

You can’t just unbolt the non hose end of the cooler and pivot it down below cam height?

I would think that if you measure the length of a push rod cover and add 3 inches to that then such a measurement should be more then enough.

Is this on a 66/67 GTO? If so, I am doing this now on my 67 and I had to unbolt the horns to have enough room to get the cam out.

Depends.
Is it a 326 cam, a 400 cam or a 455 cam we’re measuring?

If it’s only a 2bbl cam it’s even shorter!

I thought it was the 3/4 cam that was shorter?

Now when someone asks you, "how big a cam you got?" you can tell them 22-1/2 inches.
