PUTTING A 280H CAM IN A 390
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:54:41 AM »
Hi, I am about to put a comp cams 280h in my '69 mach 1 390,  it has 10:1 compression, an Edelbrock streetmaster intake, hooker headers, I bought the correct springs but the converter is only a 2000 stall. Should this cam be OK ? and is it necessary to use a degree wheel when installing or can I just align it to specs/. if anyone has the same cam in their 390 please let me know or any comments are appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Of course degreeing the cam would be better but put many a cam in straight up and it ran just fine. As far as the converter if you are getting a true 2000 should be fine IMO the big guys might think different
