My boat had this cam in it before it ate up the crank http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...?csid=404&sb=2 Probably a little small, maybe not though i also had 049 heads like you did

Is that the only information you want to give us to answer your question?
You want cam specs for a 9.5:1 454? What's it in? How do you plan to use it? What are your goals? If it's in a houseboat, I'm recommending something different than if it is in a 22' lightweight vee, and something else again if it is in a 17' jetboat. MC |
