Re: V8 307 Cam Question

I built a 307 years ago that ran ideally in the K/20 work truck it was in. I don't have the specs but it was a Crower Blazer cam which was an RV cam. That's what you want, designed for bottom end torque and better cruising fuel consumption. I put a GM 4bbl manifold with a Holley Performer in 450cfm. I also put heads with 1.94s and an HEI with weight & spring kit. The truck pulled as strong or stronger than a 350 and got 13.5 mpg with 4.57 gears, 37/14.50 mud tires, utility body full of tools, ladder rack loaded with ladders & scaffold, and a bed full of siding.
