be close but like you said clay is the best way. we should roll race before and after to see the results

I'm not even going to guess without you doing a clay imprint... that's a pretty big lift for heads that are shaved that much.

I am very interested to see this run though

I would think your getting close with them specs, like said clay them.. Can I ask why you went so donkey dick on that cam??? Stock valves or bigger on intake and exhaust???

I have never clayed for PVC. Assemble everything like you would, and turn the engine over by hand. When you get to the clearance areas use a pry bar, and pry down on the rocker/valve assembly. Give it at least .060 clearance, and you should be fine. The clay just takes one more step and a lot more work, you will be fine with the pry bar.

Jonh : I'm still trying to figure that out my self , i'm actually considering getting rid of it but might just try it to ! I was actually spect out by a known cam guru at more duration on the intake but only a 600 lift ,and after doing intense research on cams and seing this 1 for sell i thought it was the cam 4 me , but then started thinking about ptv !


Gadgetized: Thank for the help i did not think off that but will try it , i'm not trying to pull the heads off unless nothing else can be done!

And after thinking of it, I am not sure how the clay would work with hydraulic liters without measuring.

That is not a donkey dick cam for a 6.0L IMO. I just stepped up to the to a similar cam from my 228R cam on my truck. At .600" lift the stock 317 heads flow their peak numbers........

Here is the stock 317 flow chart from Rochard at WCCH

Here's the stock 317 port:
Lift......Int...........Exh
.100" ..64.8........53.3
.200"..142.1.......111.6
.300"..204.3.......146.8
.400"..233.5.......164.9
.500"..250.0.......174.2
.550"..251.2.......181.2
.600"..253.0.......184.4

Test bore = 4.030"
Exhaust tested without pipe.
