I'm rebuilding a C8BA. Will be bored around .030" over, had a Merc crank installed at one time, have three 97s on a Fenton Intake, original Eddie Meyer heads, Zephyr gears in a forties truck tranny I'm hoping can be fitted to a'32 tranny mount, and a '40 car rearend with undetermined gears at this time.

So I'm thinking a Shadbolt M60 cam, kind of like the Isky Max1, or staying stock. Any comments between the two cams? Good or bad... I'll most likely use adjustable lifters but will I need different valvesprings if I have my cam reground.

I've done research and all I got was Perplexed!
