The DC catalog had a pic of the cheater cam (.473 lift but 352/380 seat duration) and those lobes looked just about square.

One of the car mags had one lying around and tried it in a 340 or a 360... wouldn't idle below 1800.



Yep the ones I have are the old R286 cams. I ran 9.80’s with them in my Duster with a stock crank, stock rods, and TRW pistons back in the early 1980’s


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time
