I'm looking for part numbers or a list of cams available. I want to put a solid roller cam into a late model factory hydraulic roller block, and utilize the factory retainer plate.

I'm looking for something in the .555 lift range (.525-.530 at the valve with lash factored in), 1.5 rockers. I've Googled, and searched. Come up with nothing.

This is for a track only project. Late model 327.

If anyone has any info, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Custom is the way to go if you're tired of looking and guessing. Cam Motion, Bullet Cams, Camshaft Innovations...They can get you what you need, not what you think you need. Unless you're a cam guru I meant. I have an older block so I can't help with the retainer question, sorry. I did use Comp Cams tie bar style roller lifters though and they've been good to me.

Yeah, I may just stick to the factory hydraulic roller stuff. May look into the GM 847 cam.

I'll be putting a forged 327 crank into a late model block, X rods, and TRW forged dome pistons with a victor Jr. type intake.

which 2 piece to 1 piece rear main adapter are you going with? I've got a late model roller block and an old 302 crank i'd like to make something wild w/. the idea of a $200 adapter + machine work costs makes it less appealing.

i'm also interested in the 847 cam since the LT1 guys are seeing good top end gains off it.

There's only two that I see. The Moroso 38315 is designed to use the late model oil pan, and the Moroso 38415 uses the 1979 and earlier oil pan. I have both pans, so I hadn't made that decision yet.

I'm still undecided as to my final plans. I recently tore down a 327 that had a DZ 302 camshaft in it. It was all still in good shape except for a rusty cylinder. I may use that 302 cam, as its solid flat tappet, and I have the lifters matched to the lobes.
