do you have a copy of the cam card by chance. Personally I'd use it and not look back. How I got away with cams used years ago without reversion is beyond me. One bad choice but was during the marine learning builds nearly 30 yrs ago and cam was on a 108.

You can always swap out to dry pipes and cheer some blow boaters up. Hah. You'll be fine. Is that a custom grind or Howard's by chance? Specs don't sound familiar. Just curious.....

A 265 head, 228/234 cam for a 540? Holy $hit.
You guys are nuts, but I guess if it just laying around why not right.(sarcasm) While you`re at it maybe you have a carb laying around ,maybe from like an old lawnmower or something. It`ll be perfect for this build.

The heads are 088 with slight port and bowl work, 10.5:1
Cam specs are 631 both sides and duration is 252 on both sides as well on a 113

Thats nice power with the 088, i may be looking close to that i have a bit less compression the cam will be smaller but the afr 265 flow way better than a stock 088 especially on exhaust side and low lift areas but yours are cleaned up some thanks alotfor the help

$337.00 for a Comp is typically a cast iron core. Be careful and always question and then follow up and make sure their answers are correct.

Does anyone have any ideas on hp and torque or maybe a better cam selection to spin it 5500-5800

Those 265's will fall off early IMO. Id expect to see 5200-5300 unless you let it breath better. If that's the head you must use, match the parts. Trying to over cam a smaller head will disappoint you.
