Thanks everyone. My plans for this car are to make it a reliable street car and run low 12's maybe dip in to the 11's. I have most of the parts too do a cobra disk brake conversion and I will put some 04 cobra wheels on it. As for the motor I bought it with gt40 heads e cam holly intake and your basic bolt ons. I have some tfs 170 heads not installed and also a ci custom cam with no cam card I bought the from jay allen in the days before he got sick I guess and I can't get ahold of him for the card. Is it possible for me to measure for the specs or can I send it somewhere where they can measure for me? I might just throw it on there dot to dot and see what happens. I want to build a 347 after I finish with the suspension, brakes, and tranny

yes you can measure the cam with a dial indicator and a degree wheel.

Easy way to check cam is to find a machine that has a 'Cam Doctor' tool.
Guy here in this area has one and only charges $25 to check a cam out.
I've seen several done for SBF's and you would be surprised at what some check as......

Tinman that sounds like a great option going to ask the local machine shops.
