Is it cammed or running like **** ? (Page 1/1) Additivewalnut AUG 25, 09:23 PM Patrick should get a kick from this. I bought a 1967 Caprice and attempted to do a Vice Grip Garage/Junkyard Digs and get it running for the first time since 1981. I failed. Or more accurately I found out the reason the car was parked in 1981 is because the 327 blew up. Go figure. I went and got a random 350 off marketplace and it had chrome valve covers so how could I pass it up? Got it running this afternoon and I can't help but notice that it sounds like it's got a cam in it! That being said, I don't know for sure... I've never had a cammed car, I don't know how they act. Is it actually cammed or is it running like **** ? It doesn't shake, it responds well to throttle... I think that means she's running on all 8?

Possible cam video sounds like my heavily modified 289 (long story) so yeah its got a cam..not too big of one based on its nice and snappy throttle response and fairly decent idle quality. probably an RV grind or something just a touch more aggressive.
