I originally posted this question in the "Advanced Teck and Performance" section, but after thinking about it I thought maybe this was a better question to ask here.
Can any of you guys tell me what it is about the camshafts that are for designed for fuel injection applications makes them unique? I am putting together a Gen I 406 SBC that I have intended to run fuel injection on (including already purchasing the FI setup and camshaft). It turns out that I need to sell the FI to help fund the finish of the paint and body work that is currently going on. I would like to put a carb on it for a while to get the car driving up and down the road and then just put the FI on it later when I can aford it again. I realize that the engine will obviously "run" with the combination of FI cam and a carb, but what problems am I likely to see? About the only thing I could see really being a problem is if I somehow wound up not having enough vacuum to pull the fuel through the carb. Anybody got any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
