So I'm buliding a new 440 short block, and I want to use the Indy-SRs that are currently on the engine that I'm running. The current motor has a hydraulic flat-tappet cam with .545"/.545" lift and (I believe) 285/297 duration. The cam that I'm wanting to put in my new short block is a solid flat-tappet cam with .540"/.555" lift and 294/302 duration. Indy claims that my current springs are good for up to .650" lift. Do I need to change out valve springs?
I'm trying to do this swap on the cheap, so it'd be really nice if I could save a couple of bucks.
Thanks for any help.
