I had 231 237 in my car and my engine blew and ruined the cam.
which would be the better cam? or any other cams like these?
I have 347ci from LME, 3500 stall, LT, 3.73, head work, ls6 intake, maf, lid
It is my race only car around 3100-3200 lbs.
the short block engine is brand new.
the head work is being done stock heads port polish stock size valves upgraded and will have duel springs. will have port polish tb also

what stall with the ms3?
would the 3500 work for a while?
I will be changing to a trans with a t brake when my trans goes out so I don't want to change converters now.
another question. Will these cams clear my heads they will not be shaved any but I will get them cleaned up. will it still clear?

Your 3500 will work, look at my times in sig, I would say the MS3 would want a 4000 to 4400 along with 3:73 gears and look out

I say go for the MS3 too. It's not to bad with a 3,500 stall. If your staying N/A I would go 4000+ too. TSP told me that the cam will clear a ported 241 head with stock valves. You'll have to flycut with larger valves unless the pistons in your 347 has reliefs in them.

Ok thanks I think I will go with the MS3
I talked to TSP yesterday. They suggested a set of 5.3 heads and said it would work with the MS3 if my pistons are flycut.

do you guys think this is a good choice?
I was going to get work done on my heads but these would cost about the same as the work.
I called LME about the shortblock and the way I understood was that the pistons had reliefs for this heads cam package to work. If any of you guys know anything about the LME shortblock $2800 please let me know. I just don't want to buy a cam that will not fit so I thought I would double check with you guys. both LME and TSP say it will work but they seemed like they were not 100% sure because TSP didn't know anything about LMEs block and LME didn't know much about TSPs head/cam but agreed it would work.
thanks for any advice.

I know that they have valve reliefs, but I have to look what size, I can't remember off hand.
Are you getting the whole head package from them too?
If not, I would pick up the H/C and send (or take) them to LME for assembly. An extra fee of course but well worth it to get it degreed and all.
I know the 233/239 should fit with stock gaskets and unmilled heads.
