292 comp hyd cam sbc

[rfoll]

With a 3500 stall converter on a 400, you will have no difficulty with the 292h. I ran way more overlap on my 400 cams and had no difficulties other than requiring an add on vac can for pwr brakes. When I switched to a cam with a narrower (110) lobe seperation angle, the motor did not have the big charge through the midange and the et dropped a tenth. A 400, especially with small heads will need an lsa of 105-106 to be happy. Choose your duration to suit the rpm you want to turn. also, like many others said, a flat top 400 with 64 cc heads will likely be 11:1 or more.

the effect of overlap on the brakes ect. will change depending on where the cam is installed

Here's the facts on that Camshaft.

I ran that cam straight up for 10 years in my 70 Monte Carlo. 11:1 406 sbc with old original out of the box Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads. It ran the brakes fine, sounded pretty tuff too. I would run on pump gas as long as you kept the timing back. I put 11.5 pistons in it and it needed a bit of race gas mixed in then, at 34 deg total. It didn't pay to rev it past about 6300, it was done. It did 365hp@6000 /379tq@5400 on a Dynojet Chassis with an Edelbrock 750 and RPM intake. I would say with the right carb and intake you could get it close to 500 HP flywheel and extend the curve up a bit. I used anywhere from a 2400 to 3200 stall over the years and it did the fine in that range (4.10's) It was a 12.2-12.4 @ 108-112 car with that setup (3700 lbs).

Worked great for what it was, and I wouldn't hesitate to run one. It would idle at 700 RPMs, but it was about to shake out of the car at that point.

I can dig up some chassis dyno's it it would help you.
