Default Stock cam?

My engine has a big cam in it & I want to put in a stock HO cam.

Anyone have a part number?
Where's the best place to find / buy one?

why would you bother putting a stock cam in. Buy an E303, or other aftermarket emissions legal cam.

Stock cam b/c this car is a daily driver when it's nice weather. Realistically, the revs stay in the 1800 - 2500 range with a very rare spin up to 4k. An E303 wouldn't be much use to me for the way I drive this car. Plus with ever increasing gas prices and this being a cruising car / daily driver, the best thing for me to do is maximize it for what it is and at the same time make it as fuel efficient as possible. The stock cam makes good power with good low end grunt and makes all the power I need for this car.

So, where can I find a stock HO cam? I don't know the part number or if some place sells them online.

BTW, I'm talking about a cam for the 65 not the 93. The 93 is a recent addition that I haven't modded yet. Currently I have the engine out of the 65 and this would be a good time to swap in a stock HO cam.

trying to find a STOCK '65 cam... first off, you are asking the wrong section. The kids in this section wouldn't have a clue anyway.

Since your car is carbed, you could (should) get an HO camshaft. All you would need to do for the cam to work is swap around a few plug wires on your disty. The swap from non-HO to HO will net you a power increase (not to mention better cam selection, and a sweeter exhaust note)... you wont sound like a chevy anymore!

HAHAHA...no not a stock 65 cam. Check my sig...it's a 5.0HO EFI setup in the 65. The engine is out of an 90gt and transplanted into the 65.

I want a stock 5.0HO cam to replace the big cam that's currently in there.
