Re: Fresh, original 72 350 w busted valve keeper - how bad?

Thanks again guys. I appreciate the feedback on the cam. Going stepwise. Removing the intake manifold and the other valve cover for inspection. Will see what that shows and go from there. I’ve greenlighted the go ahead to pull the motor depending on what that shows. Since we are getting deep inside I’m very tempted to go all the way with a cam swap. If out, the engine could be detailed before reinstall.

If anyone has a suggestion for a cam I’m all ears. The Blazer was essentially rebuilt to stock with the original th350, Q-jet, 3.73s, and 33” tires. I’d be after a smooth idle and torque that’s improved over OEM specs. No plans for towing.
