Odd cam size, custom grind?
Whats the story man, whats you build and what are you considering? Are you running a 4 inch or larger bore cause some of those valve sizes are pretty big for a 346. What is the exhaust valve size?

Stock heads that cam will probably fit but dont quote me on it. High lift but very little duration.

It should fit a 243 milled .030 with stock gaskets with 2.02 valves. But better measure and degree the cam.
I would not run bigger valve than that on such a small intake duration.
That looks like a GT11 from LPE IIRC

Why would you want to run a cam with that much LSA unless you were boosted, and even then it's still high... What ICL are you running?

thanks ^_^ because I found an add locally with a good price for it with springs m and it`s more quite than my current low lift 224 224 563 563 (--or lower I forgot 114 cam that I bought the car with , and our races here are mostly from a 24 mph roll and half a mile and higher in Kuwait.
oh and he wrote custom but maybe it is the GT-11
and if you have a rough idling cam and stock mufflers you`ll get a ticket here and maybe your car will be held for 2 months and you`ll pay the daily rent for that period hahaha funny but REAL!
a friend of mine got a ticket line 7 years ago in his 98 stock mustang cobra .... the policeman told him it was louder than a stock mustang (only knows GTs)
thanks guys and specially PREDATOR-Z ^_^

but about degreeing the cam if it is installed directly doesn`t it mean that it is not advanced or retarded by mistal? why should it be degreed and to what degree?

Yeah, I go through the same thing with the cops here. That is why I built my setup with high CR and wide LSA as well.
I increased the cubes a bit, they can't tell the difference
Super stealth and high rpms, the power is there.
To degree any cam makes sure the cam is installed at those valve events it is spec'd at. Especialy cams like the ones you or I have with little or no advance in the grind. Just a couple of degrees off can mean the loss of valuable power. At bigger durations and tight PTVC, it could spell disaster.
Proper protocol in any install is to always degree the cam, measure PTVC and pushrod length. (a lot of times though, we take shortcuts like dot-to-dot)
