Anyone sell them for LT1's
Or am I looking at a custom grind?
I'll be needing a nitrous cam so more then likely it'll be a custom.

Anyone have any recommendations?

If you are building the bottom end, the new rod makers design the rods for that purpose.

you can get any LTx grind in a SBC lobe

I have rods from a previous SBC build I was going to do...

I figured I was gonna have to go custom...
Anyone have a ballpark price figure on a custom cam?

Not much if any more than an off the shelf one.
Bigger influence on cost would be cast or billet core.

With a 250 shot you are teetering on the edge of whether a "nitrous" grind is worthwhile.

Hope you plan on using a quality head, the ones you have do not fit that description.

can you not get one for a late model sbc with oe roller cam and just swap the dowels?

hate to hijack here but ive got a question.

How can you tell if you have a small circle base cam or not? I have a 383 with stock rods (eagle 383 kit). And i am wondering if the current cam i have in there is a small circle base or not. I will be swapping cams in spring, and i need to know.

Also, a small circle base cam is so that the cam clears the rods in stroker applications correct?

is it the basic eagle 383 kit? if so I have the same one and didn't see any issues with the cam

friend of mine has the same kit and runs a standard base circle

i run a .588 lift cam and 260 dur at .050 before. it hit. so i ground the rods. never had a problem. so i would say if you stayed under .560 lift and 240 duration you might not have a problem. they recommend .050 clearance between the cam and rods. you need to be sure you have that.

and a small base cam is clearly seen to the naked eye.

please inform me. what should i look for when i pull my cam? im most likely going to be going with a .580+ lift cam, so i dont know if i should go with a small circle base or not?

a small base circle cam will have tiny lobes. it will look funny as hell. almost like it has mini lobes on it.
